If you ever find yourself stranded in my beloved but tourist-ridden home town of Barcelona, and you need to find a local to ask for help or directions, you can recognize them because it'll be 25 C outside and they'll be wearing leather coats, wool sweaters and boots.

Sending them something is nice, but bitcoin is too scarce for that. Instant transfer within a country is not uncommon in the west. It has a deeper point that they need to understand and then not be upset by dips. It's about flipping the switch, opening their minds, admitting they were wrong, then they can be fine.

Could it be that a few people in suits are meeting on Jekyll Island again today and hatching a plan because they feel threatened by competition? And are afraid that they will lose control? What's wrong, Mr. Warburg?

I still can't believe that most of my friends don't understand #Bitcoin. They haven't given it a chance, even though it's right in front of their eyes. Everyone has their time. I'll be here for them. Ego and #money, everyone understands them 🤷‍♂️😏😆

Found this from a “mis- and disinformation researcher”

#asknostr can you guess the political leanings of the author of this?

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him. - Maya Angelou

You can tell a lot about people by their choice of words.

The climate alarmists will ask you if you 'believe' in climate change.

Belief is for religion, not science.

I just can’t trust anyone who would make such an immoral decision like wearing these pants in public

Pure demonism

Comparing Elon to Jack is absurd. It's naive to think that simply having money makes you a megalomaniac or evil in some way... It's all about how you make your money.

Many bitcoiners, who become that way through stacking alone, are billionaires in dollar terms now. Mostly they just keep to themselves and don't do much. I don't know any of them doing evil things with their money.

Jack has a long track record of building things that set mankind Free. He understands that government is not on your side and both on the free speech and the free money fronts he's never stopped working towards open source solutions to these centralized problems.

Elon wouldn't know what open source meant if it bit him.

Oh I didn’t know that’s how it worked thanks Phillip Leslie

Does tipping at establishments like Starbucks incentivize the owner to pay employees less?

I appreciate your willingness to dialogue. I completely agree that the intent of the author is of utmost importance in understanding a text.

I take issue with your assessment that I am my own god. I don’t believe this. I believe each of us contain some element of divinity. Essentially what animates us and gives us life. I believe there’s scripture that alludes to this, but I don’t remember the passage right now.

I also agree that we shouldn’t read scripture and twist it to our own benefit. I’m curious, what tools do you use to help you interpret what you read well?

"You'll attract Millenials" sounds like a Chinese curse.

#lol

It’s more nuanced than that for me. I view the Bible as a text to be wrestled with. It’s never worked as a rule book, especially to hold over others who don’t start from the same assumptions. Again, I come back to fruit. How does my reading of scripture express itself in how I treat myself and those around me? If it leads to more life and peace, perfect. If it leads to disconnection and violence (physical or verbal), no good.

You’re free to interpret scripture as you see fit. In fact, I believe you owe it to yourself. I hope however you interpret it leads to more peace and joy in your life.

But I don't want to attract Millenials. 🤪🤣

How do I make a community?

Heard. I’ve believed that in the past. It didn’t produce fruit for me. So far, assuming divinity in all does.

I like Brene Brown’s delineation between guilt and shame. Shame says “I am bad.” Guilt says “I did a bad thing.” In my experience, I act destructively when operating out of shame and constructively when operating from guilt. This framework has been really helpful to me when processing times that I acted out of alignment with my values.

I’d like to see a world where everyone is secure in their innate “goodness” but ready and willing to admit when they’ve acted poorly and take necessary steps to make amends. So less shame, more guilt.
