Supporting a decentralised future of sound money and technology. Study Bitcoin. Run a node! ITM!

Sorry, that just shows where things are coming from. Just connect some of the relays they connect to.

Looking forward to more!

Andrew Jackson and the Bank War

"It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes. Distinctions in society will always exist under every just government. Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth cannot be produced by human institutions. In the full enjoyment of the gifts of Heaven and the fruits of superior industry, economy, and virtue, every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add to these natural and just advantages artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society–the farmers, mechanics, and laborers–who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their Government. There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. In the act before me there seems to be a wide and unnecessary departure from these just principles." - President Andrew Jackson, Attorney General Roger Taney and Kitchen Cabinet member Amos Kendall (July 10, 1832)

Pick your future. I'd estimate, if things keep going the way they are, that CBDC's are 2-5 years out for most western countries. They will be launched for those dependent on the gov. at first (welfare/social security aka those who can't say no) and then moved into general use soon after. Progress will be faster if UBI (universal basic income) is implemented. Either way I'd estimate that cash is removed within 10-15 years. *obviously, times are guesstimates, just thinking out loud, but probably not that far off.

To me, BRICS gives off a pretty decent bancor style vibe (Mandibles, if you haven't read it). BTW, The Creature from Jekyll Island is a great book that explains central banking and the people behind it (There is an 8 hour abridged audio book version free online for those want to get the major points).

You can't use that on ducts! :P

Thinking similar, but desktop upgrade for me. Would like to play CS2 on more than Med graphics.

It's happening. This is why all the AI companies are getting together for discussions, it's not for your "safety"! It's so they can own the market and no one else can get in.

nostrudel.ninja has a really cool relay health page. It's cool to see which relays notes are coming from. (icon top right, looks like a... microscope, I think?)

If you self-host on your own server then you have to strip out the data yourself.

I've read that if you post to nostr.build (used on Amethyst) it strips out all of the metadata.
