My first #zapsnag, thank you so much @Foxfire Mushrooms !!! I’m currently going down the mycelium rabbit hole and I’m fascinated. Shout out Brandon Quittem for his article “Bitcoin is the mycelium of money”.
A TALE AS OLD AS TIME
Why is free speech being so heavily attacked today?
Could it be that the powers that be ANTICIPATE a looming revolt on the part of the people that have been and are being destroyed by fiat currencies?
Attacks on free speech are the signal. Governments know how their actions are affecting the populace want to silence voices that expose them.
"Democracy requires active participation, and sooner
or later someone 'offers' to take all the difficult decision making away from you and your hectic life. But the dark net throws those decisions back onto you. It hard-codes democracy into the DNA of civilization. You upvote and downvote many times a day on things that directly affect your life and the lives of people around you—not just once every few years on things you haven't got a chance
in hell of affecting."

(Replace darknet with Bitcoin…)
Free speech is being censored everywhere through technology and violence. Nostr use case built for exactly what we are living through. Thankful for this protocol.
I’ve been making kombucha at home since 2014. Selling my kombucha via #zapsnag for extra sats would be so sick but the logistics of bottles and shipping seem like too much. It would have to be a local thing. We’ll see. For now I’ll keep enjoying my brews with my family.
Real conversation just now with co workers about the lottery
NPCs: “Dude if I won the lottery I would put it in a high yield savings and earn interest I could just live off of”
Me: Who actually won the last lottery?
Them: no idea, the winners are anonymous.
Me: so you just trust that it’s not rigged and someone actually wins?
Them: Dude they couldn’t rig it it’s impossible and statistics don’t lie
Me: with all the critical thinking capacity that you have, can you dream up any possible way that they could rig the winner?
Them: No
