That's simply not true. Innovation is probably just as high as in US, but close. We do have a minimum vage that is 600% higer. Powerty is not an issue. High productivity and low poverty. That's good, right?

I'm living there 😃👌 and can recomend the system: Socialism is NOT = communism (that's being uninformed).

100% ís also called communism. Not interested. Just argumenting over taxsation and theft.. by paying tax and get educations and healthcare is good for everyone

Sorry, I disagree on that one. The socalled Skandinavien model gives every one at chance in life. Free educations and healthcare are just some of the benifits of taxes. That's not theft, but distribution that benifits everyone. Paying my taxes is not a problem for me.

Just dont be lige Credit Suisse..

Ohh please, spare me 🤮

If you think good of Iceland you need to travel to Faroe Island (just south of Iceland)

In the future will everyone be running a node (not your node not your rules) just as easily as switching on the light? As is there are only those who can code that can runs nodes.

I would like to be able to look up stories that are relevant/new (for instance if anyone has written about Binance holding back Bitcoin transactions). Will Nostr be able to do that? 🤔
