Can you see my PFP?
My mom the other day said one of her last wishes is to be able to take the family on a cruise together. I am hopeful she lives to 2040 and that we both can make this happen!
I can get you pushed in that direction! Good luck!
As a not necessarily crypto-anarchist-libertarian bitcoiner I have felt this way many times. I know bitcoin is the best path forward, but a lot of the podcasts and educational content out there comes from that very specific lens.
This is changing, as bitcoiners with more "left leaning" (if you even call it that) ideologies are making themselves public.
There is much writing on how The West's relationship with Bitcoin is different from the need of it in the Global South. It's role as a store of value, a speculative asset, in contrast to a way of earning, transferring, and securing value and property rights.
But what of the unhoused in the US and other countries? A population that is increasing and quite diverse, including veterans, disabled, students, refugees from conflict or extreme weather events, precarious contract workers (ie delivery app drivers, entry level tech/educated workers), and yes, some have unaddressed addiction or mental health issues.
Bitcoin is for everyone: what does it look like for them? Perhaps a chance to speculate, like a lottery ticket that must be held for many years before its payout. A store of value? When your needs are not met, and as you enter this poverty trap, everyday costs become increasingly difficult, and it is even more difficult to save.
I believe Bitcoin has a role in Western countries that is overlooked. Something similar to how we see it used in Latin America, Africa, and Oceania but different.
It could bring property rights to a demographic that has seen their property disappear. They have lost their houses, vehicles, pets, bicycles, books, cooking utensils, even the clothes off their backs.
Many have lost their dignity, self respect, their hope.
Too many have lost their lives.
Bitcoin is hope.
Hmmm
Thanks for trying to help them with me. ππ«π€
If your client shows it, I just sent Derek 21 sats (β‘οΈ21 in the UI)
My lightning wallet sent to his with the click of 2 buttons.
The games are tangential, it just happens that ZBD does games and rewards players with satoshis (the smallest unit of bitcoin) but bitcoin is a digital money that works globally. Lightning is a layer on top of bitcoin that allows for these near instant, cheap or free payments.
Wallet of Satoshi is just that, a wallet.
ZEBEDEE has games, but I currently just use it for the wallet.
I believe with WoS you just download it, and after initial setup, copy the LN address (looks like an email) into the LUD-06 field in your nostr client.
If you add an LN address (ex WalletOfSatoshi, ZEBEDEE) you can send and recieve sats on clients that support it using the β‘οΈ button.
While I won't be there in person, I will be there in spirit ππ«π€ excited!
Ah! Thank you. Unfortunately seems my boost came in after closing. Thank you that was fun!
