Being scared is one of the primal emotions. You need to make a binary decision. Fight or flight kicks in. Learned to use that fear to learn from it. Understand it then adapt.
There are a lot of great people out there.
I don't think we are to that part of the story even though some of us are much farther along.
Realistically I do not see Bitcoin as a standard currency in the same way we don't use gold on a day to day basis.
In the US it would take an act of Congress to change a currency. That also means they would have to vote to accept the CBDC. Keep in mind that the dollar is not a Federal Note.
I applaud you if that's what you need to do. Even as one of the safest medicines on the planet people can still abuse it and take it irresponsibly. It also isn't for everyone. Nothing wrong with being sober.
I'm a stage 4 cancer victim that has been at the battle for 5 years, multiple rounds of chemo, radiation, and surgeries. I used no pain medication and only cannabis. My team of doctors are amazed with my strength and progress. Now I only partake on the weekends.
"Progressive" to me often refers to an individual that uses more emotion than logic to make quick decisions. It's almost as if they have lived a sheltered life with little to no experience in the difficult life decisions they have to make. Almost as if they are out of their league.
On the flip side, since "progressives" are so wishy washy they are good artistically and occasionally come up with some odd left field idea that work. They are like the useful idiot that's great for figuring out the problem in something.
I'm nobody but I plan on doing that build in about a year so prices drop. I've been running a Ryzen 7 4700g for 3-4 years now. I ditched Windows about 3 years and dipped into the Linux world. The main use for my PC is web browsing, Blu-ray ripping, and retro gaming. Still waiting for a really usable solution (GrapheneOS is close) to ditch iOS or Android.
Next projects might include a new 5G modem, 110v desktop Bitcoin miner (replace my Raspberry Pi Umbrel full node), and a weather station.
I think nowadays people are one, quick to make a reply and two, want to argue. I feel as if the internet 30 years ago was more about helping each other with common computer issues and giving other information like an encyclopedia. We were all in the same boat trying to figure out this new technology. Zoomers live in a world of right now and bitch if they don't have it.
I'm mean seriously what do you expect? You act like you don't know how any of this works. As if someone was really going to provide you with "proof" you might be willing to believe. LOL!
Then join the Israeli army and find out for yourself.
I wouldn't be surprised is Mossad is involved. The world's best intelligence agency somehow managed to drop the ball and not know that Hamas was about to invade. Right.
Thank you, I shall check.
Really dumb off topic question. I'm new to the nostr protocol and using Damus as my client but when I check out other posts the pics and or videos look horribly blurry. Why might this be?
