#asknostr is this right? The taught assumption that the modern US Political System is for us and is functional is the fuel that drives the divide in the general population when both main parties supply unacceptable candidates. This is exacerbated by echo chambers that play down the issues with "your" candidate and play up the issues with the other candidate. Because it is thought that it is a functional system and for the people is why we blame the other side for having such dismal candidates, when in reality that's not the source of the issue.

Sorry @PUBKEY the best burger in NYC was worth it.

#asknostr does this seem generally correct at the idea level? I've been reading a lot of history from Greece to Japan to early US and it seems wealth is almost universally tied to one's proximity to allied violence and distance from the violence of Foes. I think nothing has changed even in the modern era, though many of us likely think we're not violent or associated with violence. Hopefully #bitcoin can lead us to a future where this isn't as true.

A historical look at what wealth is seems to be the ability to organize violence. Those who can do that most effectively are the wealthiest. Does this mean the only #bitcoin hedge needed are the tools for violence?

I suppose I'll have to have fun staying poor, because I can't resist Peter Luger #foodstr

It's been too long

Anyone else get completely vexed at themselves for accidentally passing a backup key in front of your phone camera if you get a text when setting up a hardware wallet?? Worth restarting the entire process?? Or should I just get over my OCD anxiety about the potential for a live hacked cell camera?

We need Nate on a nostr
