I don’t much like social media but I do like nostr.

“Every 1% increase in the weighted average interest rate of the $32 trillion federal debt results in $320 billion worth of additional annual interest expense. That's equivalent to the government hiring 2 million people at $160,000 per worker per year. Or, it's equivalent to adding ten NASA's worth of annual expenditure.”

Jeff, I have an honest question.
I understand that it's important to build on the new system as much as possible. This will naturally increase its usefulness.
Many of the people interested in putting in the work to make Bitcoin a success are stuck working dayjobs at the moment. Me included. It will become increasingly difficult for anyone in the future to transition to a bitcoin standard as the existing reality worsens.
As a redditor on r/antiwork puts it: "It's the whole "idle hands are the devil's plaything". You keep everyone working so hard for basic survival they can't demand better conditions."
Do you have any comments on the situation from an individual perspective? Obviously, everybody should do what they can. Is there any way to improve the outlook for those interested in moving in the more optimal direction?
I’m in a similar situation as you, I want to move all my energy to a system I align more with but choose not to leave my fiat job yet.
I use my job as an opportunity to talk about bitcoin when it makes sense, I let it be known I’m interested and involved with it and willing to help others learn. I’ve had multiple people ask me to help them set up a wallet, a node, set up a miner and buy btc over the years, I don’t push it on anyone. I do what I can right now in my situation and I imagine if you’re helping others learn you are having a bigger impact than you might think. 🤝
Or help with legal costs.
Can we zap some sats to a wallet set up for her, when she does get out she will at least have some sats?
Is there anything we can do to help?

Can you pick me up some maple syrup?

Setting up my S9 and just curious, what mining pool(s) do you guys recommend? It’s from Kaboomracks and comes with Braiins OS, though looking at mempool mined blocks is it better to go with a bigger one getting more blocks (e.g. Foundry, AntPool, etc) over something like Braiins Pool?
Thanks for the help! Looking at Reddit and whatnot but really love the #nostr tips I’ve gotten so far.

I like Braiins, easy set up, pretty good app. I was a total noob to setting up miners and got through it ok.
