He’s a different flavor of grifter, but still a grifter.

I heard there’s not enough debate on nostr, so let’s get into it:

Nickelback is one of the greatest bands of all time.

DISCUSS!!

people aren't yet ready for nostr. and that's ok.

Over 1% of the general population are literal psychopaths.

Once you know this, the seemingly absurd and immoral actions of politicians and shitcoin promoters make a lot more sense.

It’s #Bitcoin Time.

Hi, my name is Gerardo Moran.

I’m a 18 year old salvadorian who just came out from high school, where I had the chance to graduate from

@MyfirstBitcoin_

#BitcoinDiploma.

Now I’m a teacher myself👨‍🏫

Here’s my story🧵🔻

I was born in Concepción de Ataco⛰️, western #ElSalvador

And I’ve been working since I was 11 years old, in areas like construction & tourism.

So Proof-Of-Work has been present all my life⚙️🏋️‍♂️🛠️

Ever since, I’ve tried to reason why people in my country worked so much for so little money😔

Earning 6 dollars a day doing construction wasn’t feasible for me anymore❌, so I quit without knowing there was an opportunity ahead: #Bitcoin

In 2021 I heard a ‘magic internet money’ would be declared legal tender in #ElSalvador

Even though I didn’t knew anything about it, I got excited just to know a different type of money rather than the US Dollar would be circulating in my country.

Of course, I started to see a lot of resistance against Bitcoin among my neighbors.

People talked about volatility, scams & politics, but something said to me @nayibbukele decision about #Bitcoin was the right one for #ElSalvador

So I did like @ODELL says: “stay humble & stack sats” 🙏

I said to myself “people are not afraid of #Bitcoin, they’re just scared of the unknown”

That’s where I realized #education was everything El Salvador needed.

One day, my school called the students to get into the #BitcoinDiploma

I applied & excelled, thanks to our incredible teacher Napoleon Osorio,

@elisuademo, who also gave me & @VianaMPB the opportunity to become teachers.

We were selected among 60 students! We said YES!

We now proudly educate people in the western region of #ElSalvador

This job has brought me opportunities I never thought possible.

It allows me to work, continue my studies & meet people while passing this knowledge to students not too younger than me

That way, I’ve been able to socialize and visit places I never imagined.

I've also had the chance to meet the amazing stories of My First Bitcoin team.

Listening to their experiences & how they talk about #Bitcoin has expanded my knowledge about this topic.

I’m also training & teaching the #BitcoinDiploma to a group of 8 senior professors at Antonio J. Alfaro school in Concepcion de Ataco, where I went to high school.

I did #startsmall, but now I’m leading #Bitcoin education in my hometown!

Being an inexperienced young person and having this opportunity is such a privilege

I want to show people what #Bitcoin is (and what it’s not).

For me it represents freedom as individuals and as a country 🇸🇻.

#Bitcoin changed my life

One heart grows another. #Bitcoin is LOVE.

America the Beautiful 🇺🇸

Imagine your government built upon open protocols that they can’t own, control, or manipulate…every interaction visible to all. What changes? What fails?

do you still have anonymity?

I'm from europe. Not sure how US people feel about this. However the "every interaction visible to all", is quiet scarry to me. There are laws which are protecting government interactions to be visible for good reasons. Imagine your tax statment beeing visible. Even if anyone would now i did or didn't pay my taxes yet.

We are beyond that point. Bitcoin can only help in the restructuring, but can't stop these riots.

They don't understand that what's happening in #France and soon in other EU countries can't be stopped with force. This is way beyond the point where calmness or additional force helps because the nations fundamental base structure was destroyed. The restructuring is inevitable. 😞

"#Bitcoin  is too big to fail, in a positive way."

This week I'm joined by Hailey Lennon, who shares her expertise on #crypto litigation and regulatory issues.

We discuss:

- What is a security? What is the Howey Test?

- Is #Bitcoin  threatened by crypto regulation?

- Are politics involved in SEC lawsuits?

- What happened with #Binance  and #Coinbase?

- What will crypto look like in 5-10 years?

Let us know what you think!
