Why is it so hard to understand that we can have BOTH sound money and strong social programs? This is not an either/or.
Exactly. Liberal policies are to print money and use it to make lives better for the poor and disenfranchised. (Which they sometimes do.) Conservative policies are to print money and give it to the rich and powerful. (Which they always do.)
If neither can print money, then they both will have to cut their welfare policies and/or raise taxes.
It’s easy to inflate the currency, which is essentially an invisible tax on the poor and disenfranchised. It’s harder to actually raise taxes, particularly on the poor and disenfranchised, because it’s more visible and, by definition, they don’t have much money. And there’s a lot of them and some of them tend to vote.
In a Bitcoin standard, if we want any programs that benefit all of society, there’s only one solution:
Tax the fucking rich.
It’s the UI for making and sharing video clips.
This is a few minutes of nostr:npub18lzls4f6h46n43revlzvg6x06z8geww7uudhncfdttdtypduqnfsagugm3 giving an excellent introduction of #nostr and describing what the possibilities are now and could be in the future. Very exciting!
Share this with your friends who just don’t quite “get it” yet.

nostr:npub1fpcd25q2zg09rp65fglxuhp0acws5qlphpg88un7mdcskygdvgyqfv4sld the link on your profile doesn’t work.
The link is: https://www.progressivebitcoiner.com
But your web site is: https://progressivebitcoiner.com
It doesn’t look like you have a redirect in place for the www -> non-www domain.
Agreed.
But language evolves over time. There is no more “a group of people decided that one word was better than another” than there was a group of people that decided that elephants should have longer noses.
That being said, maybe I’m just getting older and have fewer fucks to give, but I get the feeling so-called “bad words” are becoming more common in respectable vernacular.
My totally unsubstantiated hypothesis is that some of it may be because people are watching less broadcast TV shows and TV-censored movies, which have profanity limitations. (Maybe the FCC is the “group of people” you refer to?) Yet watching more shows/movies on streaming services, which have no such limitations.
The only REAL bad words are ones that evolved to spread hate and bigotry, and thankfully even streaming services tend to only use them when historically appropriate and/or to expose intolerant behavior.
I mean whole wheat FLOUR.
Whole wheat bread actually has MORE gluten than normal bread flour. But there are other trade offs. It absorbs more water and can be more crumbly.
My bread looks like a very angry Mike Wazowski.

Some relays may implement NIP-22, which would reject notes outside a defined upper and lower limit. I don’t know which ones actually do, though.
It’s a Money Tree!
Oops, my typo (or maybe bad auto-correct). It’s Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters.
There are SO MANY great new tabletop games that have come out in the past decade or two. If you want to be The Cool Aunt(TM) get him something that came out recently. I recommend (depending on age) Catan Junior, Ghost Fighter’ Treasure Hunters, and King of Tokyo. If a little older, check out Forbidden Desert, Concept, and maybe Settlers of Catan (non-junior). Have fun!
