⚡️👀 WATCH - Average Salary Vs. Home Price
Your salary is simply not keeping up. However, when priced in Bitcoin, homes keep getting cheaper.

It seems to me that Bitcoin is the only chance we've got.
I've never paid that much for a good cigar. 40'000 sats is my limit.
Unfortunately the good cuban cigars are getting too expensive.
⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Trump: "We're gonna need the help of robots and other forms of ... I guess you could say employment. We're gonna be employing a lot of artificial things."
https://blossom.primal.net/c55ca2bd636068375bfed42af3e1acb452259ef134af3f2afd937bd3f170d478.mp4
Let's start to replace politicians with robots.
Let's use decentralized nodes for consensus on important decisions.
Let's create a decentralized direct democracy.
⚡️🇵🇸 ALERT - Gaza’s displaced families woke up to flooded tents after a night of rain.
It is important to remember that these people all had homes, jobs, and schools before being invaded and bombed by Israel.

⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Michigan jail inmates join hands to recite the Lord’s Prayer on Christmas Eve
"I saw unity and hope. I saw people choosing something better for themselves and for each other. When this happens, communities are safer and generational incarceration is broken," said Sheriff Swanson of the Genesee County Sheriff's Office

They probably wouldn't be in jail if we live on the bitcoin standard.
The fiat system is the cause of many problems in the world.
That's why it's not free to join. This rules out most spammers. One advantage of the centralised app is that if someone doesn't respect the rules, they could be kicked out.
I've had no bad experiences in over two years.
Bitcoiners are a very positive crowd. They're not like crypto investors who are looking to make quick money.
Bitcoin is different; it's about creating a better system than fiat one. It's a philosophy. It's a community based on true value and human connections. It's a peer-to-peer network.
QR stands for 'Quick Response' code, but I prefer to think of it as 'Questionable Reality'.
Every religion is linked to a symbol. Followers then use the symbol as validation of their conviction. It is used as a weapon to destroy those who dare to question the one and only truth. Ultimately, the symbol becomes more important than the philosophy that led to the creation of the religion.
The duality of right or wrong eliminates all shades of grey.
Be careful, or you may find yourself trapped in this system, like the Minotaur of Crete was trapped in the labyrinth.
Once you agree to use it by showing a QR code-linked certificate, you open the door to the labyrinth.
Will you be able to find the exit? And if so, will you be able to retrieve your soul, which you had to leave at the entrance?
This entrance seems to lead to freedom.
You have become so entranced that you believe this two-dimensional maze is freedom.
Without a soul, you enter the dome, liberated from state-imposed judgement – or so you have been told.
By opening the container that seemingly holds all gifts, you are doing no differently to Pandora.
Once you cross the threshold, there will be no turning back.
Turn around and you will see that you have entered not a dome, but doom.
But then it will be too late.
Your fate will be to become food for Asterion.

The best option if lifetime membership as you don't have to worry about loosing access.
At the moment there aren't many members in my area. But still I was able to meet with a visitor, that was fun and enriching. Also it keeps me updated on any events close by. Group chat is a good place to exchange and learn.
The only critical thing I can think of is that it's build on a centralized app. Would prefer an app built on Nostr. But then it's ok in the end. If it helps to meet bitcoiners, I'm all in.

As a network, community, commodity and money, Bitcoin is still in its infancy. To me, it feels like a candle shining through the darkness of the power structure built by governments, banks and multinationals. The more people who join the movement, use Bitcoin, run nodes and create circular economies, the brighter the light will shine.
We don't need to destroy the structures of those in power. We just need to stop funding them.
It's like having candida overgrowth in your gut. If you stop eating sugar, the candida will have no more food and its impact will be reduced.
https://media2.giphy.com/media/UiwxIx9BElaVi/200w.webp
Le bitcoin, en tant que réseau, communauté, marchandise et monnaie, est encore à ses débuts. Il me semble être une bougie qui éclaire l'obscurité de la structure de pouvoir mise en place par les gouvernements, les banques et les multinationales. Plus les gens rejoignent le mouvement, utilisent le bitcoin, font tourner des nœuds et créent des économies circulaires, plus la lumière est intense.
Nous n'avons pas besoin de détruire les structures de ceux qui sont au pouvoir. Nous pouvons simplement cesser de les financer.
C'est comme si vous aviez une prolifération de candida dans vos intestins. Si vous arrêtez de consommer des sucres, son impact diminuera, car il n'aura plus de nourriture.

⚡️🇸🇻 WATCH - Massive Christmas parade in downtown San Salvador
https://blossom.primal.net/03ae8ba275b9425f8a5779a643b1bbc8d3dd7b772deaa6b1932fe6b1b3892992.mp4
If the people of San Salvador run more nodes and keep their BTC in self custody their country will thrive.
The president is surely in favour to empower the people.

It’s always a question of perspective. We compare others with what we have acquired as our own standard. From that point of view, they might behave differently. From their perspective, it is we who might lack the expression of emotion and love. With an open mind, we learn that there are not disabilities but different standards for experiencing the human condition called life.
I’ve learned sign language for four years. Once you get a glimpse of the world that the deaf live in, you can’t help but be amazed. Sign language is the perfect way to express every thought efficiently. Our thoughts are visual and easier to express in a visual 3D language than in an abstract vocal language.
In my hometown, we have an institution that offers a workplace for what we call people with disabilities. Every person can work and lead a good life adapted to their abilities. This includes agriculture, farmers' markets, a coffee shop with their own produce, and manual crafts. I often have coffee there.
Bitcoin as money and protocol probably remains indifferent about you. But, Bitcoin as a new system, movement and community is the sum of all participants. The more you care about this aspect the more Bitcoin cares about you.

CBDCs Reshaping Money in 2026
3 predictions from my latest article:
🔹 Accelerated rollout – 139+ countries moving from research to pilots.
🔹 Digital ID integration - unprecedented financial surveillance.
🔹 Digital Euro effect – Europe’s design sets the CBDC global standard.
What do YOU think will happen with CBDCs in 2026?

Governments around the world want full control 🛂 ➡️ Dictatorship
- Stupid people will follow and do what their supreme leaders tell them to do. 🐑
- Intelligent people will learn how to use privacy FOSS and bitcoin 🧠
It's called natural selection.
But hopefully the more we move our time to Bitcoin the brighter will be the future for everyone. 💡 🌄
Appealing to the good in people is giving power to the people.
Laws, restrictions and control removes the power from the people to fewer dictators falsely called "government". A true government should be in service to the people, not enslave them.
Since COVID, most of the government's used this fake pandemic to exert mass surveillance on us. Don't trust them, ever!

looks like a scam
some fancy tokens are not aligned with Bitcoin spirit
It's time to learn about a different system than fiat. (Please ignore the tile if the video. It rather distracts from the message.)
"Where attention goes, energy flows."
Move your energy from the fiat system to the bitcoin standard. This removes power from the government back to the people.
The more the government tries to control, the quicker new applications like Cashu/Nostr are built.
No need to waste energy to hate the government, they're not worth it, outwit them.
