Love how all the recent DOGE findings are being interpreted as the Democrats are the Grifters.
Glad Nostr is there to tell the real story :)
#TheyAreAllGrifters btw…
Fail! While it’s often very helpful to meet with some version of a knowledgeable financial planner, they are hamstrung by their HQ or Broker (basic assumptions about inflation, rates of return, allocation strategies , no bitcoin, etc). I had to ask to have a bunch of default assumptions changed. And don’t even give them my assumptions on BTC. Another industry in need of catching up.
LFG - zap until ya drap
I've spent my adult life thinking about defending digital privacy.
Yet until a few years ago, financial freedom & privacy was barely on my radar.
This would have probably continued but for a handful of good humans that took the time to talk me through things.
Thanks to thinking they kicked off for me, I now think that individual access to aspects of financial freedom & privacy are necessary to a healthy society.
Why did it take so long? Well, there was a failure of adversarial imagination on my part.
And partly because if you aren't actively asking hard questions, this state of affairs will be hidden from you.
The financial system & how it is taught is set up to hide structural privacy violations & disempowerment.
I'm pretty sure my ignorance was closer to the norm than the exception.
But when you completely restrict financial privacy & freedom, you disempower people...constantly.
And it will keep eroding & blocking the exercise of other core rights.
Until this changes & awareness grows, we're stuck paying the price for it in a thousand ways.

And to all the good humans that have helped me along the way since. Thank you. You know who you are.

Even a little empathy could buy some time to get the work done. Not sure if the strategy is to just piss everyone off over here while really heavy shit is going down over there. Or just no strategy and everyone FAFO what you can get away with.
But… winning! Don’t worry about those pesky “rights”. We’re getting Great!
