For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. Ser livre não é apenas livrar-se das próprias correntes, mas viver de uma forma que respeite e aumente a liberdade dos outros. -Nelson Mandela
“For the FBI to not overlook the corruption now so common throughout the political class (simply research net worth values of politicians over time), NYC Mayor Adams likely did something out-of-step of his party's guidelines. This could be one possibility: "Adams’ support for cryptocurrency has been a defining aspect of his tenure. Shortly after taking office in January 2022, he pledged to receive his first three paychecks in Bitcoin and Ethereum.” View quoted note →
“Central Reserve Bank: Only 1.1% of Remittances Involve Cryptocurrency in El Salvador: The adoption of cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, for remittances has failed to surge in El Salvador, even with the support of President Nayib Bukele’s administration. According to data provided by the Central Reserve Bank, only 1.1% of all remittances sent to the country from January to August 2024 include cryptocurrency. (BitcoinCom) (AC-Why have remittances in cryptocurrencies fallen in ES over the last 3 years even after government incentives to do so? The answer to this question may open up worldwide adoption very quickly. There is a practical aspect of P2P worldwide transfers that most bitcoiners are missing. Opportunity knocks.)” View quoted note →
From a psychological perspective, Bitcoin could do much better if we called Sats > Bitcoin, and Bitcoin > Sats. In a society heavily indoctrinated to focus on “number go up”, big numbers feel better. “I own 100,000,000 Bitcoin” is way easier to brag to your friends about at a party than “I own 1 Bitcoin”. 🥴
Just made my first payment directly via BTC on-chain! It feels good not supporting corrupt systems 💯🤘🏻

Kamala cast the tie breaking vote passing the 1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan Act”. Then, she points the finger at grocery stores for price gauging when Walmart and Kroger are operating on historically consistent 1-3% Net Margin % in a highly competitive industry (compare that to Apple and Microsoft around 30% Net Margin %). This is not an attack on the Left. Trump also blew up the federal debt. But education is crucial to survival of democracy. This is not difficult to understand with a bit of study.
Can someone plzzz make a Nostr-based Reddit? It would also be a nice F you to corrupt management at centralized Reddit co 😇
