The inflation rate just fell for the 6th consecutive month. The perception of the situation doesn't exactly match the reality. The fact is we live in an inflationary economy, and inflation is normal, expectated aspect. There's still work to be done, especially in sectors like food, and transportation, but it's simply not true that we're in some runaway inflation. And the notion that we can end inflation is absurdity that's being sold by politicians as a way of getting elected. Such a thing has no basis in fact.

I don’t mind a shitcoin that delivers a few cashus you know?

I’ll trade anything that allows me to stack more sats

There's nothing fun about any of this. And God help us all if the scenario you laid out actually comes to pass.

The Central Bank of Argentina 🇦🇷 (BCRA) began to artistically display Bitcoin miners and other mining machines today.

It is the first Central Bank in the world to do so.

Some tips for easy navigation...

You can open the app menu with the super key (windows key) on your keyboard.

Also, if you hold ctrl+alt and use your left and right arrows, you can easily switch between desktop workspace screens instead of always moving the mouse to the top left of the acreen.

And, when you have an app in the foreground, you can hold ctrl+alt+shift and your arrow keys to easily move it to another workspace screen.

#asknostr had a 🚛 thought are there any good books on the history of taxation?

I appreciate people across the political spectrum, and have friends in multiple worldview camps. Especially since they are often from different countries with different contexts. My friends do tend to cluster in certain areas due to our shared interests (i.e. I am freedom-oriented in general), but there are people who consider themselves to be anarcho-capitalists and others that consider themselves to be aware progressives, for whom I would invite them to my home and stay in our guest area.

But I have a visceral disgust toward people who I perceive to be playing a role or being consciously fake. I'm not against people playing an actual obvious caricature for satire of course. But in the modern era, there is a tremendous amount of audience capture, gaslighting, fake social media influence that is meant to come off as genuine, and influencers and politicians treating their audience as though they are literally retarded.

Once I perceive someone as fundamentally fake and consciously playing a false role that they pretend is real to their audience, they're done to me. This behavior has been on an enormous uptrend in the past few years, much to my provocation. It's an acceleration of cynicism. Those that do this are intelligent but cynical toward their audience, manipulating them either for personal gain or for their political purpose.

Be aware of this trend.
