On a day when a US president reckons on making the world a better place, take a look at this 15 minute monologue and compare the challenges and solution laid out, compared to what the president is talking about.
Anyone over 18 still has many years of horrendous problems in the pipeline baked into the system being tinkered with not dismantled.
Just gotta keep rejecting and disengaging from what's wrong, long enough for our kids to grow into their boots and reshape the world properly, presumably with a hard money at its core.

Burn the Christmas tree and eat pastries and drink licor coffee and drink til breakfast cooked in the embers. And that's just the warm up.
Blessing and butchering animals in the square in the name of the patron saint of animals was a bit of a headf*** - this isn't 1568 any more but it's how it was and traditions change.
This is a real local occasion, tourists long gone, seeing faces that only come out twice a year!
Trying out #Rssblue for hosting value for value content. Which lightning wallets other than alby play with rssblue's criteria? Coinos and speed and Muun aren't cooperating. #asknostr
On #Amethyst how to ensure drafts are saved? It's so random. Just lost a post looking for a link thinking I would find it back in draft form. Nothing. #asknostr
The podcast makes total sense of why so many bitcoin maxis seem to quote the Satoshi line about if you don't get it, I don't have time to explain.
It's an excuse for a fundamental failing, that a certain high profile demographic in the bitcoin space isn't wired for successful orange pilling of the masses. We can't be good at everything and if bitcoin adoption is to fly, those getting in the way need to be big enough to hand over the batten.
The parasitic middlemen occasionally do add value for vendors by securing better rates, I've seen that in action, but only rarely. Otherwise bring on the peaceful dismantling of another fiat construct.
Ice and sun and typical Spanish skies. Not complaining that my water has frozen solid, got chillblains and fingers ready to fall off after feeding chickens. Viva españa :)
I seem to be lucky with olas on android, it is stable but can't connect coinos wallet with nwc option. Have you seen olas on desktop? It looks so clean, when it's functional Instagram users have no excuses not to bring all their friends over.

Blokes, I highly recommend you listen to this very enlightened bitcoin podcast.
Stay humble stack sats, build out payments rails and protect the bitcoin Blockchain.
And while you are being humble, get the hell out of the game of trying to usher in hyperbitcoinisation! (My words)
The estimations for how long it's going to take for global adoption are based on the male dominated builder/hornet lens.
Nostr UX on top of amazing tech dev work is just one example that nobody is good at everything.
Women are the natural born networkers of the world, and if they have the space to take the lead for the next stage of bitcoin adoption, the world will be a far better place sooner.
And if you really believe bitcoin is for everyone, take a look at what most people in the world live on and rework your calculations on how much bitcoin you are stacking.
You don't change bitcoin, bitcoin changes you, right!

More gravitas with your own name.
Btw this Liz Truss podcast is full of truth bombs about what's really broken - the state and money. 20x worse than USA, shit!
And it is a grim prognosis for change for the better - a brilliant PM, cabinet and 350 MPs ... all harried into place by the general population demanding the system from politics to economy, transport, health, education is dismantled and rebuilt.
This single conversation explains why everything in the UK and most other countries, is underperforming and special interests will continue to propel most nations and normies on a painful road to nowhere,
Stack sats and leave the rest to doom scroll til it gets so dire there is no option but to get into full swamp drain mode.

And condense the result.
Unless a significantly larger proportion of the population grasp where inflation comes from and understand who first legitimised money, society is heading for a bad place.
The states running on a fiat standard have been steadily wresting the rights from the people to decide what money is. Less cash in circulation makes more transactions monitorable and stoppable by self appointed permission givers.
And having taken control of the supply of money, rather than use it for the general good, they choose to press a printing button to make us work ever harder to stand still. And not satisfied with that, print even more to make us go backwards. All the while they are making up BS reasons and causes for inflation/ rising cost of living, as a cover for the top to continue accumulating real assets for themselves.
It's not alright to accept such a corrupt financial system, especially as it is the 99.9% of people who vote in the representatives of the people, most of whom in reality actually are wolves in sheep's clothing, doing the bidding of the robber class.
It is not alright to lower ourselves to their cowardly level and frighten, threaten, manipulate, shoot or beat them into submission.
It is perfectly fine to find an alternative money that is accepted by the people and transact within communities p2p and leave the "powerful" who would see us in the gutter, financially disengaged.
And if those elected to power don't want to provide a few essential national services from a greatly reduced government office, they should end up out on their ear.
For me, that's why bitcoin has to be adopted wide and fast. And why I'm running for president.
I think that's what Trump meant to say at the bitcoin conference but he got sidetracked.
Olas.app looks great but on android I can't post. Am I missing something? #asknostr
Welcome, I can't afford the many sats needed to fully reflect your creativity and skill but I can zap you some sats by way of a thumbs up
Correct, but sadly that logic does not apply in their screwed up world:)
No carbon credits for me either. No pat on the back for not wearing out the roads. Fiat is so messed in the head.
I'm getting a taste for what it's like being outside the system.
Yesterday I found out that if you aren't currently insured, car insurance rates in Spain start from point Xero, treated as a new teen driver.
Next step down from that, just been told I'm lucky to be able to pay astronomical rate because most insurers aren't even prepared to insure me.
For context I have had a full licence since 1982 in 3 different countries never had a serious accident, and according to official tables of accident rate demographics, Im in almost the safest age bracket for insurers. But I haven't had a car for 4 years...
I live off grid so you don't get post or courier service. A simple solution, you set up a drop off point with a local post office or courier agent in town. Nowadays try buying off of Amazon type sites, so many products are flagged not able to be sent to drop off addresses. Need a home address. So I'm what, knocking on someone's door asking if they will accept my packages?
A word to Nostr, the open solution to walled gardens. Try setting up a lightning wallet to work with some apps - limited drop down options are creeping in.
You can push back on Nostr. There's no point screaming at legacy insurance companies or e-commerce sites. But the sooner open minded companies move into every legacy space the better. Because this is developing into a road to nowhere, pay to play, massive exclusion and growing anger at faceless companies - and I still need to drive and I still need the products I can't get delivered.
