Seriously folks ....your money in the bank is not there. It was never ever there ! Every penny you sweat for is paid as an IOU into the thieving system until such time they decide you can't have it anymore.
So...what to do ?
1. GET THE CASH OUT NOW . In fact "RUN" for it.
2. Food, Shelter and Warmth. FIX that first.
3. Put your long term savings into Bitcoin. Cold store and forget about it.
4. Set up Bitcoin Wallets for practice. Get confident with using them. I have Breez, Phoenix and Blue so far.
5. Find people and places that trade in Bitcoin. That's how you help to build the New System.
6. Study study study... educate yourself on Bitcoin; this new Paradigm and Way of Life. It is our future.
The learning has just begun.
I am humbled and gobsmacked at the free resources out there to help us. Oftentimes, I cry in gratitude 🙏 for this help and knowledge.
It is not our divine RIGHT to this education without a fair equity exchange. GRATITUDE can be expressed through zaps.
7. Share,share, share shamelessly. This is also an expression of gratitude for what you have learned elsewhere.
8. Walk the talk. I've migrated to Nostr and have given the deadline to my Telegram and Signal group. Now it's their choice. Move over to a free system or drown on the sinking ship.
It is not our duty to sacrifice our time to shake others into action. Time is a finite resource.
Share, educate and move on with building the New.
Your skills can be used elsewhere on a Macro Level. Think BIG!
9. If you're in the UK and in fact, anywhere in Western Europe, and have the opportunity to get out ... DO IT.
The UK is going to become a Hunger Games Society in the years to come. This is not a point of view. THIS IS A FACT. Educate yourself. It's already in PLAY.
20 minute cites split up into DISTRICTS?
The Hunger Games Societies were also districts.
You've been warned.
Want to stay in the UK and sacrifice yourself for the bigger cause? DUMB choice.
Sacrifice is the opposite of Freedom.
Freedom comes from being authentic to who you are.
Align yourself with the Laws of Nature.
There is NOTHING natural about sacrifice or martyrdom. It's an evil construct... go down the rabbit hole and you'll know exactly where it has come from
"Don't be a Martyr, Be a Winner" Michael Saylor.
10. TAKE ACTION. Stack Sats and set yourself free

Thank you for the Zap Chris. Appreciated :).
Need to spend far more time on here.
Still figuring out the simplest of things on Nostr.
Need to increase the number of relays for one...
Yes, saw that on Twitter. I'm a huge fan of Jeff Booth. Will book as soon as my Turkey travel dates are secured....
Will you be there Chris?
My recently acquired beloved 30 yr old fireman's minibus ... now a campervan... is out to play for the Spring/Summer season.
Her name is Sheba...
I know she is a much smarter and safer vehicle choice than the modern day electronic slavery control devices they call cars.
This will also offer me a better return on my investment in a variety of ways.
For one, she is built to last. Look at the structure. Slow and clunky, but resilient, strong and steadfast. Designed to last forever as long as I maintain her well. What a superb block of engineering!
She runs on diesal... probably the most powerful, green and reliable source of energy for long lasting vehicles today. Nothing beats fossil fuel power 😄
Without the modern electronic components( aka enslaved control mechanisms) I am in complete control of this vehicle.
The upkeep, maintenance and repair are all in my hands.
Secondly, this van encourages significant "personal responsibility" on my part.
Taking time to understand how she operates is a life skill in itself.
Understanding her base mechanical structure is the first principle knowledge required.
Using his creative thought, imagination, practical skills and modern day technology, Jon, who converted the van for me, has created a practical living "system" that caters for my every need as far as van life is concerned.
A fully functional feedback loop.
The whole experience with Sheba reminds me so much of the properties of Bitcoin.
Sheba is a great metaphor; Michael Saylors teaching style.
The #Bitcoin system can be more challenging to grasp because it isn't a "tangible" concept that our conditioned minds today can easily understand.
If you are inspired to seek the solution to the current broken System of Life which we all know is not in our interests and is sucking put out life blood, take the personal responsibility to learn.
It requires a new set of looking glasses and the desire to secure Peace and Freedom for you, your loved ones and Humanity.
Where to start? Suggestions.

Take the time to look these up yourself. Once you learn the Nature of Bitcoin, there will be no going back.
It's the single most important activity for every being today. It is in our hands to create the future that we want. Focus on building it .

'The Lightning Network' Does Not Exist
--------------------
- Many people refer to the aggregate of all lightning channels as 'The Lightning Network' but this is a false premise. There is no singular 'Lightning Network' but rather many payment channels between distinct peers, some connected with each other and some not.
- Lightning as an interoperable payment protocol between professional custodians seems to have found solid product market fit. Expect significant volume, adoption, and usage going forward.
- Lightning as a robust sovereign payment protocol has yet to be battle tested. Heavy reliance on Tor, which has had massive reliability issues, the friction of active liquidity management, and lack of strong privacy guarantees put it at risk.

A great explanation of the Lightning payment Protocol.
Is my understanding correct #[1] that this is a Layer 2 Bitcoin protocol?
#[0]
#[0] has the most meaningful way of explaining the importance of Bitcoin adoption for Humanity.
It's taken me a while for the deep understanding of " money is information" to sink in.
This broadcast housed a pivotal moment in my mind, which helped me absorb this knowledge fully.
Understanding Bitcoin requires a complete U Turn in the way of thinking.
Whilst I have personally studied the Bitcoin concept for hundreds of hours since last May 2022, (and need no convincing at all) old ways of thinking can still slip back in.
Once the mind has awakened to this knowledge, it is important to fully immerse oneself in this way of living, being and building.
This would be the best way of helping others learn too.
Bear markets are for building and Bitcoin only companies are doing just that!! Couldn’t be happier to announce our recent funding in Relai.

This is great news especially for those of us in Europe .
When you dance with the rhythms of Nature, using Cosmic Intelligence, you can create a beautiful space in no time.
I have been gardening for only two years... using lunar rhythm sowing, transplanting and harvesting.
My plants, fruits and vegetables respond to a frequency in alignment to the Laws of Nature.
I have hens for the most delicious eggs. Their poop provides me with Nitrogen to feed the soil.
I have rabbits ... their poop also fertilises the land.
I breed, raise, dispatch and eat the rabbits; they make a great rabbit biryani along with lapin á la moutarde... a French stew.
The Circle of Life lives right here in the backyard.
Immersing yourself in Nature connects you to source.... it's a magical way to live.
Freedom from the enslaved system begins by taking personal responsibility for every part of your life. Your food is probably the most important of them all.

As soon as you lose your sense of humanity and throw expletives at another in the first two words, you have lost your own credibility. Shame on you.
In fact, you've clearly been triggered by something.
Go and educate yourself. It requires a new set of looking glasses.
Victor, it appears you have misunderstood deflation. We know it is the inevitable consequence of production. So therefore, deflation can only be hated
A) if one despises humanity and thrives off destitution or
B) you are a thief living off inflation.
I strongly recommend you take the time to study Austrian Economics which focusses on the principles of Human Action ... and read
THE BITCOIN STANDARD by Saifedean Ammous.
Your question will appear rather futile once you have shifted your mainstream "propagandized" mindset.
The first step is to understand what money is.
Bitcoin cannot be grasped without this knowledge.
