How to talk about #Ethereum without saying it 🤣🤣🤣

Of course they do, that's what makes it so terrible, because without the manipulated inflation these criminals would have been forced into retirement long ago. Magic money, it twinkles like the stars in the sky. 😂

You asked for it, Jeff! Press the reply icon and send it back to me, that would be the only logical response to your teasing.

The Bitcoin community thrives precisely because of its diversity. Each participant brings their unique perspective, whether they’re a seasoned hodler, a curious newcomer, or somewhere in between. It’s this mosaic of individuality that enriches the ecosystem and fuels innovation.In the grand theater of decentralized finance, we’re all protagonists—scribbling our narratives on the blockchain, chasing moonshots, and questioning the status quo. Whether you’re a code-savvy developer, a philosophical thinker, or simply someone who believes in financial sovereignty, your voice matters.So, here’s to the rebels, the skeptics, the dreamers—the ones who defy norms and embrace possibility. May we continue to learn, adapt, and build a future where trust is code, scarcity is sacred, and hope is immutable.And remember, in the world of Bitcoin, you are your own node—forging connections, validating truth, and contributing to the grand ledger of human ambition. 🌟🔍💡

Not belonging to the "FEW" makes no difference to Bitcoin and shouldn't make any difference to the community. The great thing about Bitcoin is that no one is forced to identify with a group or learn all the bells and whistles that define Bitcoin. We are all individuals and each of us has our own level of knowledge, experiences, expectations, hopes and ambitions. That's what makes the Bitcoin community so unique.

#Bitcoin #Hope #society #Nostr

Bitcoin is more than just a currency or a store of value, it is a symbol of hope, hope for a brighter future, hope for a happier life! How many people have lost their motivation and optimism after the covid-19 crisis or the ongoing wars in different parts of the world? We are constantly bombarded with negative news about conflicts, shootings, violence, corruption and more, without seeing any sign of improvement. A vicious cycle of pessimism. Bitcoin can help break that. Just look at the bitcoin community, it is inspiring to see people from all walks of life working together in such a positive and creative way to make a difference. This message will also get through to politicians in the near future, no doubt about it!

Liebe Frau Cotar,

Großartig, ich bin total beeindruckt von Ihrer hervorragenden parlamentarischen Debatte im Bundestag und der Darstellung der Fakten über CBDCs und Bitcoin! 👏🎉

Ihr Engagement und Ihre Überzeugungskraft sind wirklich inspirierend. Es ist schön zu sehen, dass Sie sich für gesundes Geld und nicht für eine distopische Geldpolitik einsetzen.

Ich möchte Sie ermutigen, auch Ihre Zapping/Lightning Wallet-Funktion zu aktivieren, damit Bitcoin-Unterstützer wie ich Sie nicht nur verbal, sondern auch finanziell unterstützen können. Ihre Arbeit verdient es, anerkannt zu werden, und ich bin sicher, dass viele in der Bitcoin-Gemeinschaft gerne dazu beitragen würden.

Machen Sie weiter so, Joana! Wir stehen hinter ihnen!

Yesterday, a plenary debate on the "digital Euro" took place in the German Bundestag. A noteworthy aspect of this session was the delivery of a pro-Bitcoin speech for the first time.Initiated by CDU/CSU and AfD ProposalsThe debate was sparked by the proposal from the CDU/CSU faction, calling for a broader societal debate on the digital Euro in Germany and advocating for mandatory approval from the national parliaments of EU member states for the digital Euro. The CDU/CSU proposed that the German government commit to approving the introduction of a digital Euro in the Council of the European Union only if the German Bundestag has previously endorsed its introduction. Additionally, the proposal insisted on the government actively opposing any initiatives to weaken cash and ensuring the legal status of cash remains unaffected.The AfD also submitted a proposal on the matter, taking a more explicit stance. The party aims to enshrine another right in the German constitution, ensuring the "unrestricted use of cash." Furthermore, the AfD calls for the German government to actively prevent the introduction of a digital central bank currency at the EU level. The proposal states that the "ECB and the national central banks (NCBs) of the Eurosystem [should not issue] any digital central bank currencies."The DebateTwelve representatives participated in the debate, exchanging arguments over approximately 40 minutes. Generally, all twelve acknowledged the importance of a comprehensive debate on the digital Euro. They also expressed support for the preservation and freedom of cash.However, three speakers, including two independent representatives and one from the AfD, explicitly opposed the digital Euro. They voiced opposition to the abolition of cash, government surveillance, and the potential risks associated with a digital Euro, advocating for an additional constitutional right to use cash.The AfD goes further, proposing to make cash the sole legal tender and to hold a public vote on the digital Euro. The party rejects further virtualization of the Euro and criticizes the fiat money system, condemning money printing and advocating for a tie to natural resources. The AfD even receives a reprimand for holding up gold notes.Other factions, from Die Linke to CDU/CSU, distanced themselves from these statements, labeling them as conspiracy theories.The CDU/CSU faction defended its proposal, emphasizing the importance of the debate and the necessity of parliamentary involvement in the decision-making process regarding the digital Euro. They stressed the need to examine the pros and cons and reaffirm the commitment to cash.The SPD faction also supports clarifying open questions about the digital Euro but finds the proposals from CDU/CSU and AfD exaggerated, as the criticism is deemed unjustified. The commission is expected to strengthen, not weaken, cash. The existence of cash is already legally guaranteed, and the digital Euro is seen as an alternative rather than a replacement for cash.A similar perspective is shared by the representative of Die Linke, dismissing the surveillance state argument as nonsense and even suggesting that citizens' data would be better protected by a digital Euro.The FDP faction unequivocally rejects the alleged programmability of the digital Euro. They state that it is legally impossible for the Euro to be programmable or bear interest. Moreover, they argue that cash has been strengthened, and any other claim would be unfounded.The Greens faction echoes these sentiments. They criticize the AfD for spreading fear with scenarios such as a cash ban, overindebtedness, power outages, and a surveillance state. Instead, they argue that risks arise from highly speculative crypto assets and private alternatives to money. The rejection of blockchain technology and the programmability of the digital Euro is welcomed.The entire debate can be viewed here.

Pro-Bitcoin Statement by Joana CotarIn a brief speech yesterday, the independent member of the German Bundestag, Joana Cotar, made history. Never before has a political representative in the Bundestag expressed such a positive view of Bitcoin. Wearing a Bitcoin symbol on her shirt, initially criticized by the Bundestag vice president, she delivered a speech against digital central bank currencies worldwide and the introduction of the digital Euro, referring to Bitcoin as "sound money.""Those who want to preserve privacy use cash; those who are fed up with fiat money and deal with sound money have bitcoins in their wallet."

Independent MP Joana CotarAccording to Cotar, nobody would need the digital Euro except for politicians aiming for total surveillance of citizens. While the opposite is claimed, she warns against the Social Credit System inspired by China and the associated state control that could restrict citizen payments."We don't need a vote on the 'how,' we don't need the digital Euro at all."

Independent MP Joana CotarRegardless of one's opinion of her, with this short speech, she resonates with many Bitcoin enthusiasts.Cotar's speech can be viewed here.

ConclusionBlocktrainer's opinion: It's truly unfortunate that the majority of parties dismiss the potential risks of the digital Euro or a European central bank currency as populism and conspiracy theories. In the United States, there are presidential candidates and bills targeting digital central bank currencies (CBDCs). Politicians there have recognized and taken seriously the dangers posed by such currencies. Examples like China show that the state can abuse the monetary system. Additionally, incentives could be created to abandon cash, justifying its later abolition. Numerous "cashless concepts" already exist.The creation of an infrastructure enabling total citizen surveillance and control should always be questioned and criticized. Otherwise, civil liberties are at risk. No one can predict which government will be in power in ten years and what goals it will pursue. Furthermore, the fiat money system would not be improved by the introduction of a digital version. The creation of money out of thin air, the expropriation of savers, loss of purchasing power, state funding of wars, the Cantillon effect—all of these issues persist with the introduction of the digital Euro and could even worsen. Therefore, engagement against digital central bank currencies and for the spread of knowledge about Bitcoin is important, irrespective of the political spectrum. At this point, thanks and praise should be extended to Joana Cotar and the "Bitcoin im Bundestag" initiative for their efforts.

In the long term, the leading media will either extinguish themselves or, will have to reinvent themselves to ensure their survival. Old narrative, new agenda? - German media against Bitcoin

I typically suggest newbies to use the QR code-based gift cards that I have personally made to inspire them to start their first Lightning Network transaction all by themselves. The response so far has been overwhelmingly positive, with everyone expressing their excitement and enthusiasm when they received their first Satoshis in their Muun/Breez Wallets. People are always amazed and speechless at the simplicity, speed and cost-effectiveness with which such payments can be made.

Democracy is a no more just governmental structure than monarchy, both are revolts against your human rights. The idea that monarchy alone is unfair in providing its politicians tax avoidance, influence over public policy, and legal cover is easy to dismiss when you look at the last few years of american

.

-Politicians enjoy ultimate influence over government, case and point you have congress persistently at its lowest approval rating of all time and yet they dont get voted out, individuals in congress enjoy even lower approval ratings, yet they still vote on bill after bill.

-Look at the obscene amounts of money our poloticians are worth, how do you make that on a relatively modest salary? Its legal for them to insider trade, just like its legal for the government to rob you or kidnap you, they have legal cover to do whatever they want to you.

-the tax code is designed to be impossible for plebians to figure out, tax breaks and credits change constantly and no one will tell you the truth unless you are paying them. While I dont think taxes are ever moral, and I think the rich are generally over taxed, the tax code is designed to grant the wealthy and politicially connected a way to dodge taxes.

These are all problems today with democracy, tomorrow the problems will be hyper inflation, endless war, and the tyanny of the mob voting to steal all your stuff and put your head on a pike. Of course, "democratic™" rarely means "democracy", it means *whatever I like and nothing I dont*; its amorphous, it changes based on the motivations of its user, there is no universifiable moral values that can be defined. There is only a vague idea about a social contract, something no one has signed, something that cannot be (re)produced, that cannot be signed, has no legal basis, and includes no instructions for what forms of aggression are, and are not permitted under it.

So, you can say monarchy is all these evil things, but its not obvious that democracy is preferable.

Thank you Geist for your feedback on this topic. You have highlighted the importance of rethinking polarizing views, be they political or people-centered issues, and rethinking in depth, taking into account a broader perspective.

About the right of existence of monarchies in a modern Europe in 2023:

Monarchies are an anachronism in modern Europe. They represent a feudal system of governance that has no place in a democratic society. Monarchies are not only undemocratic, but also unfair. They are funded by the public purse, which means that ordinary citizens have to pay for the lavish lifestyles of the royal families. Monarchies also enjoy legal and political privileges that are denied to the rest of the population. For example, they are exempt from paying taxes, they have immunity from prosecution, and they have influence over the government. Monarchies are a form of inequality and injustice that should be abolished as soon as possible.

What do you think about this, please share your opinion.
