"How I Found Freedom In an Unfree World" - Harry Browne. Better yet, listen to his "Rule Your World" seminar:
The Inverse Cramer theory tells us that #Bitcoin is dead. Well, we had a good run over the past 15 years 😂 https://v.nostr.build/vBl4.mp4
If bitcoin fixes everything, maybe it has finally fixed Cramer...

I keep looking for the bitcoin payment option on the app. Maybe someday when you REALLY need the money
Humor, ridicule, and reframing are also powerful tools. For example, I like to use the term "warbucks" instead of "dollars, euros, fiat, etc." In my business I say, "I prefer payment in anything other than warbucks"
nostr:npub185h9z5yxn8uc7retm0n6gkm88358lejzparxms5kmy9epr236k2qcswrdp is one of the creators of Liquid, and he says we should not use it. Liquid is for exchanges. It’s not a proper sidechain. 
I would love to hear the arguments supporting his statement. I believe there is no "black and white" answer, just different trade-offs that users must evaluate and decide if they are worthwhile for their particular use case
Maybe having a system that provides confidential, censorship resistant transactions? Seems like a strong incentive to me
Maybe there are other incentives?

Short fiat and long hard assets (bitcoin, art, real estate). It’s the common playbook of the wealthy since we left the gold standard.
As nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak said that the fiat standard is the only system where negative cash balances makes sense, those with access to credit benefit by shorting the dollar and going long on hard assets.

What does the term "important" mean when describing a fine artwork?
When describing a fine artwork, "important" can have several layers of meaning, depending on the context and perspective. Here are some key ways it can be used:
**Historical Significance:**
* **Influential**: Did the artwork significantly impact the course of art history? Did it spark a new movement or technique? Did it inspire other artists' work?
* **Innovation**: Does the artwork break from existing conventions or offer a novel approach to form, theme, or expression? Does it represent a significant step forward in artistic development?
* **Contextual relevance**: Does the artwork reflect or critique important social, political, or cultural issues of its time? Does it offer valuable insights into its historical context?
**Aesthetics and Skill:**
* **Technical mastery**: Does the artwork demonstrate exceptional skill in craftsmanship, use of materials, or execution of technique? Does it push the boundaries of what is possible within the chosen medium?
* **Visual impact**: Does the artwork command attention and draw the viewer in? Does it create a powerful emotional or intellectual response?
* **Formal qualities**: Does the artwork successfully utilize elements like composition, color, shape, and texture to create a cohesive and meaningful whole?
**Cultural and Social Impact:**
* **Enduring popularity**: Does the artwork continue to resonate with audiences across generations and cultures? Does it remain relevant and thought-provoking over time?
* **Cultural significance**: Does the artwork hold a special place within a particular community or cultural identity? Does it represent shared values or experiences?
* **Legacy**: Does the artwork continue to inspire or challenge contemporary artists and thinkers? Does it have a lasting impact on how we understand art and its role in society?
Ultimately, what makes an artwork "important" is subjective and open to interpretation. There's no single definition that encompasses all possible meanings. But by considering the different factors mentioned above, you can gain a deeper understanding of how an artwork might be considered significant within the wider context of art history, aesthetics, and cultural impact.
It's important to remember that what makes you personally connect with an artwork can also be a form of importance. Your unique perspective and emotional response to a piece can contribute to its overall significance and value.
So, when you encounter a work of art and find yourself asking if it's "important," take some time to explore the different layers of meaning. Consider its historical context, technical and aesthetic qualities, and cultural impact. But don't forget to listen to your own voice and reflect on what makes the piece important to you.

To clarify, one must focus on creating value and bitcoin is just one way to store this value and benefit from the likely wealth transfer appreciation as other people discover bitcoin's qualities as a store of value
