"Amidst the flux of expansion or contraction, the State always
makes sure that it seizes and retains certain crucial “command
posts” of the economy and society. Among these command
posts are a monopoly of violence, monopoly of the ultimate
judicial power, the channels of communication and transportation (post office, roads, rivers, air routes), irrigated water in
Oriental despotisms, and education—to mold the opinions of
its future citizens.
In the modern economy, money is the critical command post."

Does Jives actually accept Bitcoin/lightning for payments? I saw them on btcmap but when I emailed them a while back to confirm, there was no reply.
Anyway, I will try to be there Sunday! How many usually

I used this Vonets device per cryptocloaks guide. A bit funky to set up but seems to work fine.

"It’s what my mother told me it was like going through airport security—though I’ve never been on an airplane myself. She said you always felt like you were doing something wrong. Even when you took off your shoes, and removed your ‘laptop,’ and raised your arms in a full-body scanner, like surrendering when you’re under arrest. But I feel that way walking down the street.” “Of course you do,” Fifa said impatiently. “It’s called terrorism. Which isn’t only the ploy of religious lunatics. It’s a tool of the state. It works by making examples of a handful of people, and then there’s a multiplier effect of scaring everyone else shitless."
I use Duolingo, but I don't understand the concept that you're suggesting, could you add a few words to this?

nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z is there a way to add additional users to an #Amethyst private group chat?
I saw that amethyst added private group chats in the new version. But I can't find where or how to do that.
