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!

Hmmm. It ain't a scam. Check their webpage and twitter. If you haven't heard of them check them out. Doing good things for bitcoin.

Don't worry. Google wants to solve the problem of trusting a website by getting you to trust them!!

When I see us humans band together like this I think/question

1) what we can achieve when the goal is clear and simple

2) if the media or government was there trying to organise them, how might things have ended up

3) where humans draw the line for deciding value on animals lives. Orcas are quite evil animals by nature (if you have ever watched them hunt seals and baby whales its quite sadistic). Would we do the same for common seals? Dont know

4) humans are so inherently good and we dont want to smash every animal on earth. On the contrary usually (as this vid shows). We want to care for our fellow animals. Its likely just our crappy economic system that pushes people to the ground and leads people to make bad choices.

I know physicians in Egypt that, after their shift, go home and stack physical dollar bills. They earn no interest. If a thief or a fire takes their home, they're done.

They have looked around at the monetary technologies available to them, and decided that this was the best one: stacks of paper claims issued by the global hegemon that they're not particularly fond of, stored in their own home rather than trust the banks. What a sad state of affairs.

They put as much of their illiquid net worth as possible into buying a condo, and the rest of their liquid net worth goes into paper dollars with no interest. So, for starters, they have to sacrifice liquidity for savings.

Egypt is not a very tech-savvy market; bitcoin, stablecoins, and other similar tech are all on the fringes. Many Muslims believe that bitcoin is speculation and thus bad, and so I appreciate the work that Saifedean and others do to show that no, bitcoin is interest-free sound money and good. If anything it's fiat money that doesn't conform to Muslim ideals. But more importantly, most Egyptians haven't actually spent time to understand the tech, unlike Nigeria or other countries. It's just not a "thing" there yet.

The only time I encountered someone in person who had not yet heard of bitcoin, was in Egypt. I was speaking to a friend, and we were talking about the Iranian protests; she was happy that many women had taken off their head coverings if they wanted to (she herself was someone who did so in Egypt, where it's permissible). I was like, "yeah, but it's rough for them. They risk getting bank accounts shut off. That's why some of them have promoted bitcoin. but I think it's still way too small yet."

And she was like, "what's bitcoin?"

And I was surprised. Many people haven't understood bitcoin, but most have heard the name. She hadn't heard the name even in 2022.

What we have today is clearly a local maximum. This is clearly not the height of monetary technology.

And to think drs are the pinnicale of educated in our society. My grandpa a carpenter taught himself about markets. OK he did short term bonds and not bitcoin, but at least he is clued up enough to drop it in something liquid and earning.

To be fair tho grandpa doesn't have the work or stress load of a Dr. I feel like if most had the time/lnterest to read and explore hard money they would be convinced, but our society just has us levered and swimming against the current

I sometimes question whether I'm a sane/nice person for feeling so happy about things like this.

He does look like he would perform well for the boys in jail tho!!
