We are slowly winning. Random taxi driver to Prague airport knew stuff about Bitcoin and Paralelni Polis.

Not only my mum lived under communism, I was born and went to kindergarten in Soviet Union.

The SR-71 Blackbird Astro-Nav System (aka R2-D2) worked by tracking the stars and was so powerful that it could see the stars even in daylight https://theaviationgeekclub.com/the-sr-71-blackbird-astro-nav-system-aka-r2-d2-worked-by-tracking-the-stars-and-was-so-powerful-that-it-could-see-the-stars-even-in-daylight/amp/

There were two Latvian Waffen SS divisions fighting against Soviets during WWII and they weren’t nazis. In fact, 90% of them were conscripts (“volunteer” in name was choice between fighting or going to camps), although they still hated Russians. Later some of them were even used as guards at Nuremberg trials.

Former railway bridge in line to Abrene / Pitalovo, old Latvian town, temporary occupied by Russia.

For USA supporting Ukraine military is one of the best price vs performance options. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1703767502671560704/vid/avc1/1280x720/-pdpDWZ1Sr6-9dvk.mp4?tag=14

Did you know that you can download the Bitcoin Whitepaper directly from the timechain? 🤯 Yep! That means if a scammer and silly laws make https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf not available in your country, you can still download it from your very own #Bitcoin node. 🤙

Alternative is to get it from UTXO set, that works with pruned nodes too. https://github.com/kristapsk/bitcoin-scripts/blob/master/whitepaper.sh
