Day 3 of fasting seems to be my favourite!

South Africa without black empowerment racism and a focus on security and crime would be a power house economy.

UK was great. Time for some sun though. Not been to south Africa for too long

So 100,000USD/year on 40 hour week (yeah, I know, whatever) is 48.08usd/hr. Chart that out and 900k sats per hour in 2018. Interesting. Project it forward and its 10k sats in 2029. So just taking as a snapshot and ignoring ummm little details such as living costs etc, just to get an idea, it's actually a relatively low bar to engage with as a target for V4V participants. Not quite sure we are truly understanding the potential power of #nostr

“I can’t afford bitcoin” “You’ve been out 4 times this week, my gardener stacks Bitcoin and most of his clients pay him 4 bucks per hour and he lives in poverty. You have no excuse.” “You have no idea how hard it is here” Delusion and excuses. No helping some.

Impression of visiting uk and Spain is extreme K shaped economies. Whats impressive is the delusion and also lack of understanding of money and bitcoin. Powder keg

I keep seeing incorrect animal commentary due to historic tradition. Bitcoiners talk about bears and bulls whilst behaving like sqirrels.

Interesting signal. Am in Spain trying to sell an old gold bar I had left with a friend as don't trust attempting to fly out of the country. Wanted to swap for some coins but looks like I will probably sell for bitcoin which is fine by me. The signal is something else though. I can buy small gold bars here. I cannot find coins. Theres simply none available... zero! Also bitcoin p2p here is really usurious compared to Costa Rica. I have zero hope for Europe. Good luck is all I can say!

Is the presence of options and futures really compatible with the idea of a free market? 🤔

Weirdest attempt to orange pill last night. Literally agreeing with what I say right to last minute and then saying "its interesting to meet someone I disagree with on everything." Just could see beyond "only the state can deal with societal issues, they're too big" Statism, centralisation and dependency infrastructures are mind viruses in UK that create extreme mental model barriers. Fascinating human psychology. Even trying first principles with basic logic seems to be unconciously pushed back against. How can so many people lose faith in individual endeavour and collaboration. Bizarre

GM! After many conversations in uk, seems main concern about using bitcoin is capital gains tax. Who’s building the screw government circular economy with self custody here?
