in 2021, I told a friend that UK government would use immigration as an excuse for digital ID and tried to explain the implications. Rather vitriolic response. Oh well! RIP UK. Been a pretty straight trajectory down since Blair got rid of habeas corpus and effectively tore up the Magna Carta. Been in this gulag for 3 weeks now and stunned how brainwashed people are. It's astonishing how many times I hear people say scam when I mention bitcoin and how every comment on anything in society starts with "the government...." as if there's total mental dependence on the need to feel there's some group that will look after you. Wake up, grow up and take some responsibility. I wonder if the only responsible option is to follow the 16,500 millionaires who left the country last year.

Comment in our local bitcoin chat group: "we are so lucky to have so many vendors accepting bitcoin now" We certainly are privileged in this regard but it isn't luck, its hard work building community and it takes every individual to join in the effort. Stop waiting and just do it!

Last night in conversation: "man that guy made a killing, been in bitcoin since 1999". Umm well done him! 🤔

After 2 weeks in uk fascinated how normalised it seems to be that everyone knows someone dead from fast cancer recently with zero questioning. Also everyone complaining about cost of living and when trying to talk about fiat, bitcoin or even gold, glazed expressions as they wait for government to fix everything. Bizarre place these days considering past few years

Conservatories should be renamed human bowls.
