First, is not the right of the debtor being violated by the business forcing a citizen to pay debit in non-cash form? Just because your a private business doesn’t give you the right to violate the constitution.
Second, business is forcing customers to have bank relationships is imposing on the persons right of privacy.
If you don’t have financial privacy you will not have political rights. #gold #silver #platinum
Fiat is dead. Long live the #metals nostr:note19qun3efrprhxvz4dqdnadrh5mjlx6hgvnxdrrzdm23daanarar2s6ssp88
Boom. My new book, Broken Money, is now available on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG83QBJ6
I will formally announce it later today, so I guess this is the initial Nostr exclusive. It’s not even searchable on Amazon yet since it is still being incorporated into their wider database. But if you have that link, it is ready for purchase.
The ebook, audiobook, and other print distribution partners will be rolled out over time.
Thank you everyone for your support! This has been a wonderful project to work on, and it will hopefully educate more people about the current problems in the global monetary system and the solutions that Bitcoin has to offer people around the world.
Also, are you releasing a free digital download of a single chapter? To start discussion and buzz around the book.
Can I buy it with precious metals?
All currencies go to zero. #metals #gold #silver #platinum
Who said anything about a mortgage? Landlord prefers to transact without a mediator(bank). Finance systems doesn’t know we know each other.
I am living in the real world. It’s no financial institution or government organization business to know how and who I spend my money with. You must live in a world where your government doesn’t suppress its citizens.
Yeah, sorry. I am not talking about global trade. I am talking about mass adoption. My largest monthly expense is housing, local. Buying food from my farmer, local. Buying my clothes second hand store, local.
You sound confused. It’s bitcoin, not crypto. I’d recommend watching some nostr:npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p content. He goes over why metals are bad money, why any “crypto” other than Bitcoin is a scam and why Bitcoin is the superior global money. Takes work to figure it out but anything good does. Good luck to you.
It’s possible. I simply making the case that Bitcoin maybe the superior today. But that might not be the case tomorrow. Why would someone not use #litecoin over #bitcoin. LTC is cheaper, transaction cost is cheaper, and faster transactions. With mass adopters no one cares about the hash rate. With #bitcoin, you need a device that has a wallet, you need network connectivity(telecom) and you need electricity power for #bitcoin to work. When money has dependencies it doesn’t make the best money. Physical metal I only need physical possessions.
Maybe true today, but that may not hold true tomorrow. With digital innovation, technology comes and goes. Once money becomes technology. The money can come and go.
I try to keep my money local.
I can my money any dozen ways with digital commodities or coins. Once, the money is transferred store the wealth in the form of metals. Crypto is a good vehicle but not a good store of value. At least not right now.
Wow. Simply off the news. No word on the amount and at what price. #bitcoin still trading as a risk asset. Look forward to when it breaks from the norm as a risk asset.
Maybe. Replacing digital money is much easier to replace with the faster, more efficient better do digital money. Periodic table is much harder to replace.
You just described bitcoiners as Peter Schiff. ;)
That was his face when he saw that #gold vs fiat dollar chart over the last 60 years.
Before we start LARPing too much about how Nostr should take over the world and people should ditch other platforms, let’s acknowledge the fact that nostr:npub1wv79gfl4tn46qxs0vcr6kr73rqethvna0kchk4cw06mmdzsgrkdqmkxye0, one of the best MMA fighters of all time, is on Nostr. Most of you don’t follow her yet, even though she has been here for a while now.
I personally want to tell Cris, “thank you.” We appreciate her presence. There is no better proof of work than full-contact MMA.
In order for Nostr to grow, it can’t just be bitcoiner techies. It has to be others too. I personally really like the MMA people but more broadly, we should reach out to non-techie people and actually appreciate it when they decide to care about decentralized money and communication.
Thank you Cris, for caring about decentralization and proof of work.
Yeah, too many bitcoiners not enough goldbugs on the platform. Very few people on the platform talking about #metals. #silver #platinum
