I think about this often. Most are still ignorant of the gravity of the situation. I'm afraid they'll always be.

An easy way to ensure everyone gets their share is to make it an opt in system.

Australia transitioned away from defined benefit schemes in the eighties and early nineties, and has increased retirement age (not a legal concept here, but when you can access a pension or your benefits) has been increasing too, from 55 when I was young to 67 currently.

I'm not a huge fan of the resulting system in its details, but it's a sign that people and politicians used to care about longer-term thinking. (Interestingly, these reforms were from the Left, not Right, which maybe explains why they happened?).

I'm wanting to start tipping in sats rather than fiat.

I'm thinking the least frictional way would be via a NOSTR client.

Anyone doing this I wonder? This should be a good way to motive people onto Bitcoin and Nostr.

My rough outline for the coming quarters (just a guess, obviously):

- Until Michael Jackson’s birthday: Astronauts are loading the ship.

- Once fully loaded, the engines alight.

- Sometime between Labor Day and Halloween 2024, the next bitcoin bull market begins in earnest.

- 2025 is likely to be lit.

Humans weren't meant to be doomscrolling through social interactions. #bloomscrolling fixes. Choose what deserves your attention.

Met a friend of a friend who used to work at Santander and recently started a new role at a money remitter.

It’s a company similar to Western Union.

By the Main course I’d gone off on one about how these companies are parasites preying on the poor and that KYC/AML is borderline evil.

Yeah… how not to make new friends 🤦‍♂️

Anyway, he was genuinely curious why I thought that way.

Really decent bloke coz in hindsight I was being rather insensitive.

He naively said that at banks and these remittances companies, we have AML to stop terrorists. And it works!

I was like, hmm. How deep do I go on this.

His job pays him to think that the incumbent system is good at stopping terrorism and stopping the bad guys.

He hasn’t realised that he kind of is the bad guys. But it’s certainly not on me to tell him that!

naturally he has no idea that KYC/AML is a retardio system that affects the poor and the misfortunate the most and it does sweet f*ck all to stop terrorism.

I gave the example of Peruvians not being able to get bank accounts, Ghanaians then Cape Verdeans cut off from banking before the conversation moved on. Oh and how stupidly expensive it is to send money across borders coz of companies like his. (Oops)

I showed him how to send bitcoin and we talked about how last year, my immediate friend got a bottle of wine paid in btc and it’s now 2x.

I sent him my latest peru video and *I think* I managed to save my first impression.

Anyway, I took two things from this.

a) calm down your arrogant muppet.

we’re in a bizarre bubble in that we’re a bit obsessed with how messed up money is. But some people we literally paid to look the other way. And so, they think their system is helping people. It’s not their fault.

Don’t put your foot in it like me.

Be a bit more understanding. oops.

B) people need a few more triggers and they will eventually get it.

This guy is either really nice or he is on his way to getting it.

It is a violation of basic human rights to suppress someone's ability to express their thoughts and feelings, including their hatred.

It is a violation of basic human rights to censor hate speech.

If you hate Israelis because they've killed Palestinian children, if you hate Russians because they killed your family with a glide bomb, if you hate Americans because they killed your relatives bombing Belgrade, or Iraq, or Libya, or ten zillion other nations, it is your human right to be able to express how you feel.

That is why I am involved with nostr. I will work to support the basic human rights of every human being on planet earth in the face of all oppressive legal frameworks anywhere and everywhere. Those legal frameworks are flat-out wrong and I will fight them until my dying day.

Please use nostr tools and express yourself. But be anonymous when you know you are putting yourself at risk. Use tor and or at least a VPN and an anonymous nostr identity, and then let's have true, honest, open, constructive dialog.

Hate for an ethnicity is always a mistaken thought pattern, but you can't have that corrected by the community if you can't even express it.

There is cost of storage and for food products best before date is an issue so they do sales. Also they sometimes buy more than required just to meet the required producer or reseller quota. If they buy 100 of the x product they will get additional discounts. So they buy 50 more to meet the 100 quota and sell you 50% off. Instead of pointing fingers to everyone just check who you voted for.
