Definitely! Having to be affiliated with organizations that do not represent the common people is part of the problem. Adjusting political incentives so that common representatives can both afford to run, and remain in office would help address this.
She sure is! My best friend, and adventure buddy! 💜
GM ☕️ way to get it done and build those memories with the family. Definitely worth a leg day! 🦵 🚴

Morning!! 🤙
Accurate! Preaching to the Canadian choir over here 😂
Well timed! Filling my cup with the good stuff this morning 💦
Coming back to this with a much fuller cup. Thank you. 💜
I’ve been thinking a lot about elections, political incentive structures and accountability along side Bitcoin/Nostr this last week. Imagine if politicians had to publicly declare their political platform, promises and results on an immutable network. Accountability Bitcoin style! ⚡️
Every day I scan Google News, Nostr, Twitter, Reddit, podcasts and various other sources for news on the Lightning Network and Nostr.
I put it all into a weekly email which goes out every Friday.

Interesting! Will add to my morning recap! Thanks ⚡️
Good morning! 💜☕️ Took a little break to reset and refocus. Spring camping is just around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited. 🌿🪵

Unfortunately I don’t think my friend even close is alone. I’m always hopeful to find ways of presenting Bitcoin through a different lens that reaches people where they are without trying to change their word view to prioritize freedom from government. I actually thought the bit on inclusion was something that brought a lot of value to the interview.
Completely agree.
I agree that it’s accurate, but the protest coverage was so negative people have a hard time separating accuracy from narrative. The Left here definitely consider that a conservative view point.
I remind my friends to pay attention to how those in power treat the people they disagree with. It’s the most telling signal. A lot of Canadians can’t look ahead to see how amassed power will affect them when “the other side” gets in.
Hey HODL, thanks for pushing back on this.
My initial reaction (and comment on your episode) was that you kept it simple without actively underestimating the intelligence of the viewer.
I then shared this with a friend here in Canada, and the part that turned them off was the “Tyrannical response to COVID in the West in line with 3rd world dictatorships". They immediately link this type of speak with the freedom/trucker protest which was the most politically polarizing Canadian event I've ever seen. To this day, it's still a rough discussion topic.
My comment was likely too aggressive and general. I appreciate you taking the time to address it.

I got increasingly disappointed with this series as it went on. Great on-boarding video, but I can only show it to my conservative friends. HODL’s politicalization of BTC is a giant turn off. Bitcoin is for everyone.
Great episode. It’s important right leaning Bitcoiners know that you don’t need to change peoples political view in order for them to recognize Bitcoin as better money. Bitcoin is for everyone.
