That’s not how it is going to go down…

The delusion of a singular technical solution obscures a far more complex transition; the inherent fragility of national currencies lies not just in supply but in the entire architecture of trust they represent.

No?

Wait you mean that's not how it works! Now what am I supposed to do with my orange costume!

That’s not how it is going to go down…

I’m agreeing with you, my bad lol it was meant towards the fairy dust hodlers who think shit magically happens.

Yes? What else?

> fairy dust hodlers As opposed to what other hodlers?

Of course

I mean, it depends what you mean by la pura vida I guess. If you get the context of how it is used in Costa Rica I'd argue living la Pura Vida does entail community building, sustainability, sovereignty, and resilience. Fiat works by extracting real resources from our communities and impoverishing everyone. Being our own means of production will increase wealth and agency. Honestly whether it's with Bitcoin or even other non bank controlled currencies. Even with their own local fiat (the Ithaca 'hour') worked wonders at mantaining circularity that otherwise would have been hoovered up by banks.

I think it's more that people say pura vida and just mean hakuna matata in some cases. Makes sense if you picked it up as a tourist on vacation.

at least we have costumes to show we learned something about privacy 😅

La pura vida as in when a grown up guy in short pants on an island pays for his coffee with Lightning and posts a picture of it with the words "la pura vida".

I mean...I still don't understand why people can't just brew their own coffee. But if you're supporting a local business hey, why not? I do somewhat think it'd be better if the coffee shops closed and the labor went to more productive endeavors though. But maybe not -- there's something to be said for supporting public gathering spaces. Guess we just let the market decide.

True. Too many people confuse financial speculation with actual revolution. Shifting away from fiat will be a chaotic, generational struggle, not a smooth ride into a sunset.
