Nice! Was that using Bitrefill or some similar middle man, or is there an app store for Nintendo that accepts BTC?

A list of stuff that I've seen being purchase by Bitcoin recently (either by myself or someone close):

✅ Honey

✅ Eggs

✅ Socks

✅ T-shirts

✅ Beers at bar

✅ Full meals at restaurantes

✅ VPS and server HW

✅ Art

✅ Printing services

✅ Hardware Wallets

I see office/intellectual/white collar workers left and right concerned about ChatGPT eventually taking their jobs away from them.

I'm sitting here thinking about how their jobs are currently protected by a fenced garden that prevents 99% of the population of competing with them for their job position. Half the world doesn't have a bank account, and most of it can't even apply due to government regulations coming from the 19th century.

What will happen when all the world enters the market in equal terms thanks to the financial freedom and openness that Bitcoin brings? Do you think your company will keep paying you $100K per year for pushing a few Excel spreadsheets and PPT decks around when they can hire some argentinian/iranian/nepalese guy who is smarter, nicer and prettier than you and is happy taking $15K for the same job? Professions like translators and graphic designers are already living this reality.

What is your plan, anon? Are you ready to compete in equal terms?

That clearly explains the price action.

Bien dicho. Las realidad que vive cada uno es totalmente diferente , asi que no habran dos posiciones identicas con respecto a como usar Bitcoin y otras criptomonedas.

Creo que muchas veces, el estandarte bitcoin only se lleva en occidente por motivos bien intencionados (ahuyentar a la gente de estafas, ponzis y rug pulls flagrantes). Pero en ese proceso, olvidan realidades como la que tu describes.

Tengo la esperanza de que veamos proyectos tipo stablesats que permitan a la gente del global south usar bitcoin pero protegerse contra la volatilidad en la medida necesaria.

Si te parece te doy los detalles por mensaje privado. Deberias tener un mensaje mio en el buzon.

What cathedral is this? The portraits in the blue dome ring a bell.

It's nice to not code for a day.

The book When Money Dies can give you real world examples from last century.

Now that I am consistent with my lifting routine after years of injuries and being on and off, I have realized that, counterintuitively, the biggest mistake is going too hard at it.

We try to train hard, to the limit and very frequently in hopes that it will make a difference and we will get results faster.

When you stop being in a hurry and realize that lifting is not something you do for next summer, but rather for your entire life, eveything starts working properly.

Seria fantastico si todos hiciesemos un esfuerzo consciente por pagar en efectivo alla donde podamos. Es tan sencillo y cambia tantas cosas.

Siempre me resulta fascinante ver como Bitcoiners maxis se pasan una tarde hablando de ideas radicales y cierran la velada yendose a pagar sus cañas con la tarjeta de credito. Cero privacidad, comisiones para los banqueros y el negocio forzado a pagar impuestos por haber ocurrido todo en el sistema KYC.

En nuestras manos esta trabajar ya en una economia circular, libre y privada. Si hay un buen tejido social que comercia en Bitcoin, se podra escapar a las CBDC. Lo mismo que ya pasa con el circuito de fiat digital vs la economia en efectivo.

It will be so beautiful when we reach sat-dollar parity.

The #[0] bot will look like this.

And it's glorious because then I start using it as a unit of account easily by heart... Until it eventually pumps or dumps and it breaks my heart because all my mental references have shifted and I can't do it anymore.

Whenever I present anarchist ideas to normie friends and they get all jumpy, I enjoy closing up with a: "It's very much fine if you don't agree. These ideas don't expect you to do anything you don't want, unlike yours towards me".
