Answer: Give me your Bitcoin and I will give you gold for it lol

Would have been really worried about where my government is driving my country at the moment if I didn't have my savings in Bitcoin

Still worried about the people I love that don't get Bitcoin

Thanks!

What do you use animated QR codes for? I haven't seen this before?

Trying to surround myself with users that aren't completely fiat driven

Everyone I know thinks that money in the bank is safe... They don't know how paper thin their reserves are, always

17. Stack as many sats as possible

Haha... Nope, I don't think if you are on nostr in 2024 you are behind the curve. People just don't care to know what's happening. Not yet

We all know how this is going to end. Talks about "doing it right" isn't going to make those in charge do it right. There is no incentive for them to do it right. There is only incentive to loot

The only question is, how will ordinary South Africans protect themselves?

Bitcoin communities/organizations in ZA:

Bitcoin Ekasi

Bitcoin Witsand

Bitcoin Ubuntu

Can give them a google and support their cause, if you like

Also, comment any other bitcoin communities you know of, please

To be honest, not sure what a relay is exactly. Still figuring things out. Just noticed that in ZA, nobody really knows about bitcoin, so I thought it would be useful to have a community where people could talk about it and ask stuff, you know?

Which country is "our"?

Haha but yes, we beat you to it lol

Tried it today haha and it actually worked!

Haha wtf who is this dude?

I always find it funny when people say that you don't need any more guns. If you don't know what your adversaries are up to, the only way you will find out that you are not secure enough, is if you are attacked and cannot adequately defend your property/life

That's why the biggest armies in the world keep expanding, because they can't possibly know everything that their enemies are busy with, so they continuously make it more expensive to attack them, by expanding their defense/offence capabilities

You won't know you are secure enough, until reality teaches you that you are not. It's just natural. So some people will always want to increase their capacity to defend their property. They are also the ones best equipped to fight off an attack

Any written law is just an abstract form of power that has to be rooted in reality. Your property is only yours as long as you have the capabilities to defend it as yours (or the entity you outsourced that responsibility to has the capability and incentive to defend it on your behalf)

Price controls are the beginning of the end. Wait until they also introduce more capital controls. Shits gonna start flying

How did the accident happen? Or was it not an accident? May I inquire about any ongoing conspiracy theories?

Only been here for a couple of days. Took some time to understand and setup the basics

It's so refreshing to be here. The news, the zaps and, of course, the memes. It's just great

Haven't seen a single post about "btc going to 1m" or "btc will melt faces at 100k" and crap like that

Guess that's just the difference between people buying bitcoin to chase more dollars and the people buying it to change the world

GM

Gave away some sats to people over the last couple of days. Want them to work with it a bit and pay for groceries at the local shops to see how it works. Haha just a little bitcoin marketing I guess

The new ones pretty much suck.

Feel free to watch WeCrashed. It's about the CEO of WeWork that has gone bankrupt some time ago. It was great, I remember before 2020 reading about the company and stuff. Also, it's an 8 episode series so not a movie
