I could agree with you, as long as we can also agree then that an employer has legitimate right to demand from their employees things like sexual services, or that they eat a specific diet, or that they vote a specific political candidate, or that they amputate a part of their body, or that they give them the keys to their homes, or to their bitcoin wallet.
If we can establish that such a contract is legitimate, then yes, demanding vaccination is also legitimate.
The catch here though is that I'm conditioning all these to being known and discussed in advance, clearly stated on the employment contract, and thus "freely accepted" for real.
Which is NOT what happened during covid to most people who were the victims of a unilateral, non-negotiable alteration of their employment contract.
On the other hand, Spain also has a history of sending troops to invade Russia. In the 1940's, for instance. So who knows.
In any case, the fact that Zelensky is meeting the king, whose family's current wealth is due basically to his father's arms trafficking deals, bodes well for the war effort.

Based on Spain's record of being disloyal to NATO, allowing the Russian fleet to resupply in its ports, for instance, if I were Zelensky I wouldn't eat or drink anything while in Spain.
The so-called "farmer movement" that the European "new" far right has been touting this past couple of years, like all the "new" far right on Putin's payroll does, is simply agit-prop with the goal of promoting Putin's interests on one hand, and the continuation and expansion of the EU's agro-communist system of massive subsidies. If you bought the "freedom for our farmers" narrative, you're extremely naΓ―f. It has never been about having a robust, competitive farming sector that produces the foodstuffs Europeans need, but exactly the opposite.
Apparently, you don't call it, just kill it. Seems to be quite destructive and it's an invasive species in Europe.
I don't think most devs are tuned to that frequency, really. It just happens that for now Nostr is a tiny group of very like-minded people with very similar opinions. And the Nostr dev in-group is even smaller and more homogeneous. So some things are assumed to be "good" and transparency-worthy, while others aren't and the algo is being applied like it or not.
A banal and anecdotal example: the Nostur iOS client automatically adds a shit emoticon when anyone mentions any cryptoasset that is not Bitcoin. Can't toggle it off, as far as I know. The basically unanimous opinion is that it's very funny. So, like it or not, you eat it up, or stop using Nostur.
It'll be like that with a lot other stuff.
As you just said, Bitcoin needs to stop being compliant and go back to being adversarial.
Great info. Most demanding stuff I currently play is The Witcher 3, GTA V, Fallout IV etc. so it looks I'll be fine
All of it. People around me don't believe me, but I keep zero cash in practical terms. I make enough that I don't have to worry too much about living expenses, meaning I always have money left to save. Which I convert 100% to bitcoin.
As a matter of fact, my fiat net worth is negative because I took a personam loan -- which I used to buy bitcoin in one lump sum at significantly lower prices, instead/on addition to my regular DCAing.
(The monthly loan payments are around 5% of my monthly income, and I could always sell some to pay it off completely, so risk has been properly managed).
In fact yesterday I got the "end of
support" warning for my perfectly functional Win10 computer and that was my first thought. It's the one I use for gaming, though, so meh...

Both candidates have the same economic policies, especially as far as big state and big printing goes.
That's why I've always said that while, as a foreigner living within the Imperial sphere, Biden is the worst president possible and Trump was one of the best in history, as a bitcoiner I win either way.
In fact I think Trump is even more pro-low rates and pro-exporting even more inflation to the colonies, which is the best pro-Bitcoin policy.
The risk is that the Neocons of both colors have infiltrate US institutions so badly that just because Trump wants lower rates, they will do whatever it takes keep them high and stall the US economy for real to blame Trump.
Do you get paid a fixed monthly/weekly amount of BTC as a salary? Or if you get paid by project or by selling goods, do you get paid based on a fixed amount of BTC hourly or by project?
Or do you actually price your work in fiat, then have your employer/client have it converted to BTC before they send it to you?
First visited Vietnam and Laos in the early 2000's, lived in China a couple of years later and visited (briefly, just a few hours) North Korea for work in 2009, through China, not from the south. Hellholes all of them, in a gradient of course.
Also, I live in Western Europe, so there's that.
Also hopefully they'll get real and stop asking for ACH, cash in mail and other crazy shit and simply use Wise like normal people do...
It'll be a good thing if more USD users get on Bisq. Very few offers and stupid crazy relative to EUR and even other smaller currencies.
