early comments from the geopolitical stuff I read indicate a bit of everything. the CIA is in there funding protests, but the protests have truth to them too. maduro is a tyrant, but aren't all elites everywhere today?
they are flooding the zone with conflicting information so no one gets a clear picture.
if Maduro survives in power for the next week or so, then he will stabilise, other wise the colour revolution will suceed.
either way the instability is terrible for the locals, hearts go out to them, regardless of who they voted for

look up decentralised radio podcast. bitcoiners that are deep into this and other fundamental health stuff.
Agreed, particurly the last part on monetisation. I think bitcoin collateral loan/deposits could have some potential. Nothing like owning the roof over your head and not subject to landlords
the fed and ecb are at war. rates won't be cut. they might increase if davos class throws more shade the feds way.

Tom Luongo has a valid point: "Don’t think for a second that Nostr or Truth Social or Gab are going to be anything other than digital ghettos that Davos and the ADL are happily opening up to you to retain your purity while limiting your voice even more than you could imagine. The battleground of ideas is where the normies are. They are on Twitter/X".
It is worth pursuing Nostr to make it grow? Sure. But leaving altogether the opportunity of being heard by the normies and fight for our ideas on X, is not a good option either. What's the point to express opinions no one hears anyway. One could also shout into the wind from the top of a Chinese mountain against Xi. No one will put you in jail. No one hears you anyway. That is Nostr today. It's ok to post pictures, good morning messages, promote some new book to the Bitcoin crowd, but it is not a battleground for free-speech.
I agree with this. I still left twitter because it was terrible for life balance. Because nostr is clunky, I don't use it much, but twitter hooks you in and consumes too much time and bandwith. I get enough info from the GGnG's slack server to stay up to date.
My mum has the same floor tiles on her new bathroom reno too. Very snazzy. Job well done!
Great episode. Tom is brilliant. His patreon is money very well spent. The private forum is where the magic happens
nostr:npub159xcmvys8az0s5z8whjwr4senal5px6sjgmskvhyq2u0fkwpk2ds0zg2g6 Great podcast with Tom Luongo. +1 to recording a part 2 ASAP. A lot of good subjects you mentioned at the end that I would love to hear more on.
