By voting for parties that agree with you. The ANC is communist, they see state-owned enterprises as welfare distributors, that's why Eskom can have 420b+ debt and still exist, and it's why they'll send out 10 dudes on minimum wage to change a light bulb, badly. Obvious waste for the sake of distributing "wealth", but all communist governments go the same route.

You hang around the bitcoin community long enough, black-pilling is inevitable. Governments don't exist for the sole purpose of debasing currencies - surprise! Corrupt governments that can't manage their money and who run on paper-based systems with no checks in place will obviously debase the currency, those who focus on fiscal management, transparency, and staying small will do better. They can't have communist ideals.

We suffer a lot from poor management systems. The ANC simply isn't interested in doing things well, when they can siphon funds off to a family member. But there are parties who intend to do things properly, at least better. It's extreme to think that all parties are like the ANC, are only motivated by money, want to grind us to a pulp, and want to be as big as possible. That's extreme black-and-white thinking - either governments don't exist, or they are corrupt?

Experiencing the same vibes. With the European elections coming up you’re getting bombarded with propaganda. I wouldn’t be surprised if 98% doesn’t know what’s going on.

I hear you, but unless you wage a war to abolish the current system of government, we're stuck with them. Whether you acknowledge them or not they determine taxes on everything you buy, import, earn, fill up, etc, can throw you in jail for not wearing a mask, etc. Route around them, by all means, just expect to get Ulbricht'd or Samorai'd. The main way to change who occupies that seat and determines those things is through elections, or war. South Africa is somewhat unique in that we're going to be led by coalition, most likely, so not necessarily "by decree". More voices are represented, more checks are in place, more common sense should prevail, it isn't just one party steamrolling us anymore. Will it be messy, absolutely, all those obnoxious characters battling for their own way, but I'd rather have what more closely represents multiple people coming to an agreement than just one party having their way. Even the DA sucks, I don't want gender-neutral bathrooms for my teenagers, and if the DA had their way in Covid I probably wouldn't even be alive right now.

Isn't the last part why you'd vote? I understand the whole governments are illegitimate and corrupt and and, and yes obviously nothing beats collectives on the ground actually doing the work (Afriforum, neighbourhood watches, stokvels, etc), but when it comes to corruption, obvious mismanagement, obviously archaic backend systems and nepotism, cronyism, allowing all the stuff that happened in Covid, shouldn't we use the one opportunity we have to budge the needle? Or are we only going to engage them head-on with the likes of Sakeliga when it's a bit too late? If the masses are lazy to vote, catch them sleeping.

Was using 1voucher, no KYC at all, but apparently Flash had a security incident (a year ago...) and support for them was dropped and not added since. Like you say current Azteco options suck now.

Nice to find out after buying vouchers I used to use for Azteco that they're no longer supported, and my alternatives to Azteco want almost 6% in fees

Fathi is a great bartender and his mojitos are super delicious. He is originally from Tunesia and he told me that from time time he is selling merchandise in his home country for Tunesian Dinar. Problem is the Dinar can never leave the country and sit in the bank account forever while inflation is eating his money alive. I did not try to explain heart surgery in 5 minutes but I guess Wallet of Satoshi is a great start. I payed his tip today in #bitcoin. Feel free to drop a few sats for Fathi. 🇹🇳

As for AI strategies, Meta has the best long term strategy. Yes Open AI is flashy. But when the dust settles, which company gains more, the one that sells AI as a service, or the one that can sell AI as a service as well as lets you tinker and build on top of their AI however you want.

They are creating an AI development ecosystem, which gives them way more leverage over the industry.

I don’t like Meta, but I would prefer their strategy over openAI’s any day.
