In 2016, the Indian government declared that the 500 and 1000 rupee bills were no longer legal tender. This left people struggling for weeks and forced people to stop using cash.
Since then, one of the most cash-dominant countries, facilitated the way for CBDCs.
#Bitcoin can stop this.

Great reporting from a beautiful and happy sovereign individual. Have some sats. 🍻
GM you beautiful bastards.
Just made this super simple strawberry milkshake:
8 oz of fresh and frozen strawberries.
16 oz of Grass-fed non-homogenized whole milk. (If you haven't had grass-fed non-homogenized whole milk, preferably low temp vat pasteurized or raw, you're missing out. Way better flavor and texture compared to FIAT subsidized milk.)
Optional:
1 to 2 oz of sweetener of choice.
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract.
Blend until smooth.
I used my Vitamix (I used to work for them, but not anymore) and it turned out perfectly fluffy and smooth. 😊 Delicious.

Absolutely agree that native people's modern diets can differ from ancient ones due to that displacement.
But if you search online you'll find many sources showing the Aboriginal Australians ate "Bush Tucker" (aka, plants and animals) and that the diet of the peoples of Mongolia before modern times similarly consisted of both animals and plants.
The diet of the aboriginal Australians:
By caloric intake: 60 - 80% Animal Products, 20 - 40% plants.
This looks like their diet is mostly meat but that's actually incorrect. Plants contain 1/10th calorie density of meat. Looking at calculated volume tells a very different story.
By volume intake: 15% - 40% animal products, 60 - 85% plants.
If this is your diet than even though you eat mostly plants, you're actually getting most of your dietary requirements from animal products.
What about raw vs cooked? We're discovering more and more how important the gut microbiome is to our health, when you eat only cooked food (AKA most people on the SAD or Carnivore diets) you are not expanding the variety of microbes in your intestinal flora. This doesn't matter at first, but overtime it will as your microbiome loses genetic diversity.
If you point to the Inuits or the Mongols as examples of people who eat primarily animal products and are extremely healthy, that's great! They are a prime example of largely healthy populations. But I doubt the majority of your diet is raw meat (full of microbes for our microbiome) from only wild animals or domesticated ones who graze on wild grasses. Also, the Mongols would eat berries, roots, herbs, and wild grains in addition to animal products.
I have never been a fan of any absolute extreme diets. Any diet that prohibits the eating of certain foods, is too constricting for most people and removes valuable potential sources of nutrients that may lead to deficiencies.
I've never been on any diet other than trying to choose healthy choices in general and overall, taking everything in moderation, one day at a time. Am I the healthiest person in the world? Certainly not, my options are limited due to geographical availability and cost, but I'm doing my best to eat variety and avoid processed foods overall.
One thing we can all agree on is that the SAD (Standard American Diet) is toxic and full of unhealthy processed foods. Since the guidelines on "healthy eating" are so obviously and thoroughly corrupted, we're left to figure out what is it that is actually healthy. I choose a diet dominated by (mostly raw) plants by volume, but by animal products by energy density.
Cheers. 🍻

nostr:npub1kyk7ac33apd7cx0nun3laevf84zfhr8pt8kj4h8v7cpx9t72d4gqkyea0g I'd love your take on this.
My brother in Freedom Tech, I love your passion and you're right that the state is the enemy. But the state is under occupation by those who benefit from the money printer, and nobody becomes president unless they are not a threat to that power.
Both sides are controlled by the people who control the money printer, spending time and energy in the game they setup just empowers them. The only way to win is to spend our energy growing the only real alternative and ignoring their distractions.

"Did you really think they were gonna leave something like this in your hands? After you let them bring it to a vote!? Steve companies like Global, they don't rely on anyone, that's how they win. They win by controlling every outcome. And they do that by playing both sides."
- Dustin Noble (Played by John Krasinski)
In "The Promised Land"
I keep seeing a lot of posts about the US election, so I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring.
Let me say this and only this: It truly does not matter who wins or loses in November. Money talks more than votes. The core problem of every major issue of the modern world is the money is broken. That's it. The people who like to pay for war and injustices have an infinite money printer, and it's a bipartisan desire to use it as such so it doesn't matter who's in charge. They can just print their way to success in this or any fight as long as their pieces of paper hold value in people's eyes. That's what everyone did in WW1, Germany did it too much and caused hyperinflation.
The longer they can keep people distracted with smaller issues that matter less, and divide us instead of unite us, the longer they can leach economic energy from the people being distracted by debasing the unit of account they all use. Debasing both their savings and ongoing earnings.
Yes, Trump spoke at the Bitcoin conference but he is pushing a shitcoin of his own. He's not going to stop the money printer. Neither will Harris.
You want to know how to vote for a better world? How to vote for real change? Vote not with a pen, but with your energy. By moving your economic energy, and switching your personal unit of account, to Bitcoin. The dollar is just a market good with a monopoly on it's creation coupled with an "unlimited supply of dollars at the federal reserve". Don't "invest" in Bitcoin: save in it, live by it.
Buy dollars at the market rate when needed to pay bills, but keep the majority of your value in Bitcoin when not needed. Mentally convert prices to Sats. I like to use kSats in my head, roughly $1 = 1.5 kSats currently.
Start seeing dollars as something you buy, aiming to get them when they're cheap and maybe sell when they're expensive. Don't hold dollars in any significant amount. Buy only as needed.
This benefits you personally and benefits the world generally, because it stops their theft of your savings to pay for things you don't like.
By saving in dollars your energy supports things you don't, through the mechanism of debasement. By owning Bitcoin you support the transition to a new and better system, a new and better world for everyone.
This election is the latest distraction, don't be fooled by either sides empty promises.
Be the change you want to see in the world, vote with your energy for real change. Vote for Bitcoin.
GN everyone. 😴
Start crowd sourced local organizations to help people. Clubs where you can loan out or rent equipment like a library of tools (requiring a refundable deposit on the items you borrow in case the item is lost or damaged). Grow a replacement support structure for society that does a better job then the government.
CrowdHealth is a great example of something much better than traditional insurance and they're doing great. I just signed up with them a week ago based on their reviews here: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/joincrowdhealth.com.
I wish there was something like this for every type of insurance. Just be transparent, charge a reasonable membership fee and connect everyone together to help people out directly instead. With CrowdHealth we all as individuals get to decide if someone's claim gets covered or not, not someone who will get promoted the more claims they deny. But they promise you won't usually be asked to pay more than a set amount per month.
I love this business model and want more like them!
Also, if anyone wants to sign up for CrowdHealth you can use my referral code to save $260 over the first 3 months, and I get a $250 referral bonus as well. We get stronger the more people join "the Crowd" 😁.

Since Nostr is both a public way to share and save things permanently, I wanted to save/share a sobering comment from reddit about a woman's right to choose.
Regardless of your current view as Pro-Choice or Pro-Life, you likely are a well meaning person trying to do good based on the information you have been exposed to so far. That's commendable and I applaud your efforts to do what you believe will improve the world. That's what we all want, a better world for everyone. We have to communicate to find the best way to do it with the least amount of suffering.
If you are currently pro-life please know that I especially want to hear what your response is to the post below. From the data I have seen pro-choice policies reduce unnecessary suffering of everyone involved by preventing children from being born to people who are unequipped to care for them, and into situations where they are unwanted, unloved, and abused.
On #Reddit (as with all traditional social media) there is often no conversation, just isolated silos. Echo chambers where views are never discussed across a community table like they used to be.
Without open dialogue between people as to their reasons for holding their opposing views there can be no progress.
If Nostr hopes to be an online renewal of the open community forum, where real discussions can take place to find a better way forward for everyone, then I take a step in that direction by sharing the following comment in the hopes of stimulating honest non-hostile discussion. I don't expect this to change anyone's mind, but I do feel that the sharing of information like this will do more to help us come together to find solutions to these issues than yelling at each other from our silos has accomplished so far.
We all want a better world, let's work together to make one.
This comment by u/kristinbugg922 is originally found here:
"I know you stated you didn’t want to get into politics on this, but when it comes to abortion, that’s like trying to round up horses once they’re out the corral.
I am a child protective services investigator. I work child deaths, near deaths and shocking & heinous abuse cases exclusively. I have seen what can result from forcing a woman to keep a baby that she either does not want or is not equipped to raise. People can say that the baby can always be given up for adoption, but that’s not the fairytale you’ve seen on “Annie” either; there’s no Daddy Warbucks waiting in the wings to whisk most of these babies out of foster care into a limousine and off to their mansions.
Because no one wants to deal with babies born addicted to heroin, whose genetic pool is rife with schizophrenia and who contracted syphilis during their vaginal birth, because their mother didn’t receive prenatal care.
Because these babies aren’t blonde headed and blue eyed.
Because these babies are blonde headed and blue eyed like Mama and Daddy...who share the same father.
Because sometimes these babies have names like Keyshawn and Trayvon and Kiana.
Because sometimes these mothers don’t realize they aren’t ready to be mothers until these babies aren’t babies and you can’t drop a toddler off at a Safe Harbor Drop-Off.
Because sometimes these mothers live 45 miles from the nearest Safe Harbor Drop-Off and they don’t have a car, so the toilet is their next best option.
Because sometimes the Safe Harbor Drop-Off is the local police station in a town of 658 residents and the local police chief is Mama’s uncle.
Because sometimes a woman doesn’t need a reason for not wanting to be a mother and she doesn’t owe anyone an explanation for what she does and doesn’t do with her body.
I once held the body of an 8 month old infant in the back of an ambulance that didn’t need to run lights and sirens. He was too small to strap to the gurney.
When they handed him to me, he was wrapped in a blanket and he looked like he was sleeping, but no infant should ever be that still and cold or have white foam around their lips.
His mother tried to have an abortion, but didn’t have the money or resources. She had three children she couldn’t afford or care for already and she knew she couldn’t handle another one. She was told, “Just have him. You’ll be fine. You already have three kids, so you can figure it out. You can’t kill your baby. You can’t give your baby away to strangers, because no real mother does that. No...no, we can’t take the baby in. We won’t help you get an abortion and we can’t support adoption, but we will help you with the baby.”
But, when he was born, all the people who promised to help disappeared faster than her patience did when that baby cried and she was on day four of a methamphetamine binge. In the end, the only support she had was a methamphetamine addiction and a boyfriend with a nasty temper and even less patience than she did for that tiny, unwanted soul she brought into this world.
So, she had him and eight months later, she proved everyone who told her she couldn’t kill her baby wrong by allowing his life to be taken in a fit of rage, methamphetamine and the fists of a man who just wanted him to STOP. FUCKING. CRYING. ALREADY. And the only thing she could say was, “I told them I never wanted this. I said I never wanted him. Why did they make me have him? I want my mother.” But her mother had been dead since she was 10.
I know this because I was the first CPS investigator on the scene and I covered her little brother’s head with my coat and gave her my beanie, so they didn’t see the damage their father’s bullet did to the side of their mother’s head. Amy was a beautiful woman and her daughters look just like her....even in their mugshots.
Even when they’re trying to explain why their boyfriend shook and beat their baby to death. This one looks especially like Amy. This daughter perpetuated that cycle and her baby was collateral damage, I suppose.
Maybe if I had given her my coat to cover her head with, as I led her and her sibling out of the house, so they didn’t see their mother’s head shattered by their father’s bullet, she would have traveled a different path. But I didn’t give her my coat.
She was older. I thought she’d be able to cover her head better. So I gave her my beanie and I gave her sibling my coat and I covered their heads and told them not to look at Mama. I told them to keep walking and don’t look down. I said I was right there with them.
That’s why I gave her my coat this time and as she was being led out in handcuffs, I told her, “I’m going to cover your head. Don’t look down. Don’t look at the baby. Just keep walking. I’ve got you. I’m right here with you.” It’s funny. After all of these years, that’s what I blame myself for. That I didn’t give her my coat. That maybe, just maybe, if I had given her my coat instead, I wouldn’t have stood looking down at her dead son years later.
I don’t know what the last thing that baby saw was, but I pray it wasn’t the fist that ended his life or the face of the demon that ended his life or the woman who was supposed to be his protector. I still dream about him. I still dream about that coat.
The people who screech about how a woman does not have the right to terminate a pregnancy are always silent when they are questioned about what THEY are doing for their local foster care agencies. They rarely lobby at their state capitols for more funding for child welfare agencies and preventative programs to assist children and families in need.
They rarely, if ever, volunteer their time and money to support children in foster care or foster parents. Instead, they’d rather post hateful, judgmental vitriol on social media about women in difficult situations they know nothing about. They’re content to talk about what women should or should not be able to do. They’re content to pass judgment about a woman’s choices. But when they actually have to look at the consequences of those choices....well, that’s a conversation 99.9% of them are willing to sit out on.
People like your sister can screech about how abortion is murder. They can cry about the poor babies who never drew a breath. But you won’t see them doing anything for the babies that are breathing and living in foster care. The children that are living in homeless shelters. The kids that won’t get supper again tonight because Daddy’s check was short and Mama drank the grocery money again. Because that would mean they’d actually have to look upon the humanity they don’t want to acknowledge. It’s easier to crusade for a cause they don’t actually have to interact with."

Anybody else beginning to mentally convert dollar prices to sats in their head?
$7... that's 10.5 kSats.
$20? 30 kSats.
kSats are almost at Dollar parity, feels good to see it.
I'm starting to actually feel like Bitcoin is my personal unit of account in day to day living.
Feels really good, I'm excited for the future.
I despise all FIAT and look forward to the day we can actually transact at any store in sats. That day is fast approaching.
