📚Quand on lit “Endurance” de Lansing et qu’on découvre Shackleton et son équipage survivant 2 ans dans l’Antarctique à -50°C, dormir sur la glace et manger du phoque… Nos petits problèmes du quotidien semblent soudain bien dérisoires 🥶
Wanted to take wifey for a drink in Paris. Couldn't think of a better place than the Sof’s Bar, which has been accepting payments in bitcoin for more than 10 years. They also serve great cocktails, such as the signature Pisco Sour.
France is a mosaic of "pays": over the last 230 years, central planners have made every effort to standardise a country whose diversity is one of its greatest assets. In its long history, France as always been a collection of people. Since time immemorial, its inhabitants identified themselves by their "pays", the place from which most of them rarely left.
In its great essay "The Discovery of France", British writer Graham Robb perfectly describes it:
"The basic division was the pagus, the area controlled by a tribe. Two thousand years after the conquest of Gaul, the pays (pronounced pay-ee) was still a recognizable reality. The word pays – usually translated as 'country' – referred, not to the abstract nation, but to the tangible, ancestral region that people thought of as their home. A pays was the area in which everything was familiar: the sound of the human voice, the orchestra of birds and insects, the choreography of winds and the mysterious configurations of trees, rocks and magic wells."
Despite this systematic effort to destroy territorial memory, people continue to refer to their "pays" in everyday language, as it makes much more sense than using soulless administrative divisions.

This really is a tour de force. No government is the Western world is capable of making a quarter of what Milei has done in government spending reduction. Bright days ahead for Argentina.

#Foodstr Burgundy terroir: wild boar “à la bourguignonne” and Epoisse cheese… 🤤 
Love paying for my paella in #Bitcoin. If you travel to Madrid, VORAZ is your best option for spending some Sats. Delicious food and perfect attention. Bitcoin already accounts for 7% of the payments according to the waitress. 0 cost of implementation, increased visibility through nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq, it’s a net positive from every point of view

Paddy fields, Java, 🇮🇩 
Estaría bueno que vaya acompañado por Saifedean, que ya es su asesor económico.
He‘s OK with Bitcoin, but won’t push for it to much IMO. He hasn’t studied it in depth.
Leeks looking great! No major work, just clearing weeds and keeping the soil loose with my hoe #Homesteading
Friday vibe! https://spotify.link/cw3NYSPvCBb
Such a fantastic book.
3rd edition of the Bitcoin meetup in my hometown tomorrow. If there's no meetup where you live, just organize one, promote it around and there's a good chance you'll meet with like-minded people.
