Sworn enemy of socialism and capitalism Usury constitutes theft "That which can be destroyed by the truth, should be"

It should be mandatory to post recipes with great food pictures. Looks great, I expect tastes even better.

Mining with nostr:nprofile1qqsq9k04vahllseell55m74n3047y88pzlr0z5yany32st29fapqmgsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctc87ckyu using Datum. If you mine, give it a try, you will not be disappointed. I can only hope the protocol will be adopted by other mining pools. You can also solo mine with Datum.

You are the voice that is much appritiated, high signal nad low noise. Hoping it is worth doing and your voice is heard. Never been to any Bitcon conference and I'm in Bitcoin since 2011.

Putting aside laptop use. Is it worth going at all? Is it not waste of time and money? You can see and hear the same "talking heads" on countless number of podcasts. Not to mention these are tipicaly the shitcoin shows.

I gues this is all about short vs long time preference. Curently short time preferencw has the priority. And maybe it is fine for some interactions.

At the same time I also noticed myself that very often I would like to preserve some notes or complete conversations, give myself time to think and come back to them and that is not easy. I agree that it would be great to make it possible to preserve some of the content you see here for longer. This could possibly be another measure to take to indicate value of quality notes or interactions.

The free market doesn't solve everything. It is about time bitcoiners recognize that and ask the question what would make free market to work. How free is "free" and what constrains are needed to be put in place for free market to work.

Countless podcast repeating the same message of how Austrian school of economics is the magic silver bullet that is supposed to solve all problems. Is it?

It is not about the "corrupt East European Country". It is about using it as a tool and sacrefice its people to destabilize and break Russia, make it dependent.

What prevents people, especially Muslims, from recognizing Bitcoin as a solution to many civilizational problems:

- They think it is purely an investment/speculation asset not what it was created for, namely to simply be sound money.

- They do not realize the monstrosity of the sin of interest/usury (riba) and have become far too accustomed to living with it (yes, I mean all three religions).

- Consequently, they do not see the urgency of escaping riba as quickly as possible and prefer to continue as usual.

- They have not understood their religious texts or cannot adequately prioritize the commandments and prohibitions within them.

- They are unfamiliar with the Bitcoin ecosystem and do not know what is already possible.

- And even if they were to become familiar with it, they are too complacent to change their habits.

- They are not open to fundamental paradigm shifts, even if it should lead them back to the roots of their religion, and feel threatened by changes (see how many people become aggressive and patronizing at the mere mention of the word "Bitcoin").

- They lack a solid understanding of economics and are still influenced by Keynesianism.

- They are not optimistic.

Therefore, people are right who say that the biggest challenge lies in education. But how can you educate people who have stopped learning?

So I now see it like Dr. nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak . The later they learn, the less of the pie they will get. Bitcoin is like gunpowder; it is not optional whether you adopt it. The question is WHEN you will adopt it and whether it will not be too late (for you) by then.

Bitcoin can and should be used to create parallel economies that are build on the sound foundation of it.

But the fundamental problem that needs to be addressed is the state enforced usury based system we are living in. Every economic aspect of our lives it rooted in this system. This is the core of the problem.

There is no doubt this system will try to hijack Bitcoin and water it down with paper printed Bitcoin. Look at ETFs and the herd of self proclaimed bitcoiners NGU crowd cheering for it.

I guest the way is to go back to the roots of Christianity and Islam and together build an alternative where usury is outlawedd and focus is on family, comunity, etics, morality and labor first and money last.

I struggled with this for a while @HODL

I was an atheist / agnostic before I was very close to dying in 2015. I spent 7 days unconscious at the hospital. I didn’t have a “near death experience” hallucinations of the after life etc. Just darkness / nothingness. This is what I believe “hell” is, literal oblivion, it’s terrifying but it also brought extreme clarity that our actions in life matter and I connected with something that is not of this world while I was there.

After I came back and since then I can tell you without a doubt in my mind. 1000% certainty, God / Christ is real, It all happened, it’s all true, heaven is real, good is real, evil is real, the soul is real, being a good person is important, honesty / truth is important, integrity is import. Even when no one is looking.

Sometimes you’ll be hated for doing the right thing but things we’ll always end up working in your favor at the end. It’s like a cheat code to life to follow the “narrow path”.

He will always have your back and he hasn’t let me down once even in the darkest times you’ll see that it was for a reason at the end.

What you do in the mortal realm is what you’ll be judged for when it’s all over. Cannot explain it or show proof but I know it to be true in my core.

Also, once you feel it. It cannot be unfelt, it’s so obvious in your face but that’s the hardest part for most people because all the things you use to determine truth in the flesh (vision, hearing, logic) doesn’t apply. It’s a matter of the heart only and it’s extremely personal. You can be shown the door but only you can open it.

All that being said I don’t push my beliefs to anybody or try to convert people. Nor do I care what they do with their personal lives. I know if I do good, good things will happen to me and when I die (hopefully a long time from now) I will be alright. I do not fear death, it’s become clear to me that it’s a feature of being human, not a bug. Those who do evil or justify things in the name of God are larps because it’s extremely personal and only within you
