It's kind of a verbal meme, but one of my favorite questions is, "what radicalized you?" Since I'm someone who appeals to moderates with a tempered but purposeful element of anti-establishment fire, it's kind of a notable question.

My first thought is, "well let me tell you about my childhood and why I'm not a huge fan of the state."

My second thought is, "let's talk about the global financial crisis."

My third thought is, "look at the 2016 time period where U.S. fiscal deficits started to wonkishly deviate from unemployment.

My fourth thought, regarding the Current Thing, because nobody wants to go back that far, is, "they replaced a beautiful blue bird with an X and said it would be half of the global financial system."

And that made me angry.

I'd argued I am not the radical, but simply resisting the radicals that push for the state to regulate everything in life for everyone. In Germany people call for the big guy helping every little problem far too easily. Listening to history and having a hard look around the world should teach us to go the other way and question authorities as much and hard as possible.

We should show up from within instead of just ignoring the loud voices in CCC and it's regional entities.

There is a bunch of us.

So many things the wrong way, katzazi has extensive feedback, let's see what she makes of it.

On Easterhegg #wauland reported the use of #Bisq as KYC exchanges cancelled them. #Bitcoin (and of course they don't mind you giving them other ) funding for support of non profits is working *despite* control by banks in Germany.

So sehr ich Ijoma mag aber die Behauptung, Zentralbanken hätten die Zinswende hinbekommen ist Quatsch. Niemand hat je behauptet die Zentralbanken könnten nicht die Zinsen erhöhen, weil dann sofort alles auseinanderbrechen würde. Viel mehr sehen wir jetzt wie eine Bank nach der anderen fällt, wie der Immobilienmarkt zusammenbricht usw. Die Auswirkungen dieser Politik werden sich bald zeigen und es wird sehr unangenehm werden, spätestens nächstes Jahr werden die Zinsen wieder fallen und wir sind im Kriesenmodus.

Ijoma ist halt gut darin Worte zu verwenden, die 50% der Bevölkerung erst nachschlagen müssen. Er ist kein Wirtschaftsspezialist. Aber gerade deshalb ist seine Betrachtung wiederum interessant.

It's about damn time I start checking out Nostr and see how much I can migrate from the bird app.

How's everyone's experience on Nostr so far? Any tips and tricks for a Nostr n00b?

It's getting better a fast.

Vlad, Bitcoin Takeover Podcast

The reason why I’m hesitant to add zapping to my profile is that I seek sponsorship for my articles & interviews so that the content can remain free and I don’t need to ask the audience for money.

I appreciate donations, but I’m feeling morally challenged by the idea of receiving money from my podcast listeners when I have 4 minutes of ads in every episode.

You also help the Bitcoin ecosystem at large if you check out the sponsors – because I pick them myself and they provide unique products/services with the Bitcoin ethos in mind.

So you also help a lot if you:

💚 download & use Wasabi wallet

😎 buy a Cryptosteel Capsule (10% off using code BTCTKVR) to store your Nostr private key, passphrase, or BIP39 seed

📱tell your favorite content creator on Patreon/OnlyFans to switch to Bumbee and get paid in bitcoin

🛒 do your shopping on ShopInBit instead of Amazon (5 euro discount with code BTCTKVR, 3% discount if you pay in BTC)

Wasabi is the wrong way, as is ads.
