I'm a young #engineer/#programmer and #researcher of all things #sovereignty (#health, #wealth and #tech). I started down the #Bitcoin rabbit hole in 2021 and it turned me into a burgeoning #Bitcoin Maximalist. "Don't trust, verify" #French #Spanish

If you watch videos on other platforms like rumble and twitch along with YouTube. https://grayjay.app/ is a good app with all them included with same functionality of newpipe. I been testing it out lately and its pretty solid.

Thanks for the info! I'll check it out.

I concur! I've been using it for a couple years.

The Iroquois use wampum belts as covenants and petitions for understanding. Words spoken during an agreement are made into wampum to be used for ceremony, teaching, and reminders of law and values.

In the real world of seventeenth-century America, the European newcomers were outnumbered by the natives and dependent upon them for food, trade, and survival.

The natives understood themselves to be self-governing nations exercising sovereign authority over their people and territory, and with a far better claim to occupancy and long usage than any recent European settlement huddled on the coastline could muster. Accordingly, the indigenous nations signed numerous international peace and friendship treaties.

They granted rights of trade and use over some of their territory and agreed to co-existing or parallel sovereignty in other areas, and asserted, time after time, their inalienable sovereignty. The classic presentation of this view is in many of the treatise they signed with the Dutch, English and French nations. The First Nations represent it with a belt of two parallel rows of wampum

These two rows [of wampum] symbolise two paths or vessels, travelling down the same river together. One, a birch bark canoe, will be for the Indian people, their laws, their customs and their ways. The other, a ship, will be for the white people and their laws, their customs, and their ways. They chose to travel together, side by side, but in their own boat. With the understanding that neither of them will try to steer the other's vessel.

This view is the basis of all treaties the First Nations made with European governments and their descendants.

Are we so far detached from this history that it is no longer a possibility? Does one people’s rights and claims to a land supersede another? On what basis are such claims made?

Thank you for explaining this so clearly.

I've thought about the treaties in this part of Canada. It seems that if the First Nations no longer depended on the governments remuneration/assistance and then refused to receive it, then the government would no longer have any claims to the land according to the treaty.

The problem is that it necessitates a low time preference on the part of the individuals within the First Nations. However, both them and us of European descent have been propagandized by the fiat education system/media. I think #Bitcoin may help us regain our sovereignty as individuals and maybe eventually as communities and cultural groups.

I think this one might look nice with an orange hue to the moon instead of blue. Kind of like when the moon rises from the horizon soon after sunset.

I need some advice/help.

I have some "fiat" education papers in the following areas: a bachelor in Mechanical engineering with a minor in computer science, and a master in using AI for mechanical engineering design and optimization.

I know diplomas mean next to nothing since I went to university without having a high school diploma in the first place. But, I am in the situation now where no one in the "fiat world" wants to hire me in the fields I studied or in other related stuff. Plus, I'm not really interested in the "fiat stuff" anyways.

I would rather do stuff like build in Bitcoin/sovereignty tech, do permaculture, build natural buildings/homes, eat like our ancestors (Weston A Price/nourishing traditions), help people in developing countries ...etc.

But, I can't seem to get something in those things going, either because I'm fiat/sats broke or don't know anyone interested since those things are either not allowed or unpopular where I am at the moment.

Any ideas???

At this point, I think not much of my identity is connected to my country.

I would likely agree with the person saying that.

Cool picture! Thanks for the #sats!
