chokepoints like kyc/aml on a lot of serivces. we use to use spritz finance for paying bills. but they started using persona and it killed that for us. tried another method. zypto. have to dl their wallet, but bill pay also required kyc/aml. persona... that's friction. resorted to p2p trades. person pays our bill we pay them bitcoin. lotta begging. not fun. don't want to strike or cashapp. but leaning that way. bank accounts looking like a solution... going backwards. we travel a lot. use to get gift cards and debit cards. debit card started limiting amounts. we found travala. it works. we use to do just about 90% of our life with bitcoin. when we live out of the US, it's doable. just go to countries where its more accepted. but in the US... seems like all it's good for is hodlin' or spookin' normies. and yeah, merchant adoption... friction everywhere.

They didn't spend 200 years instigating wars and assassinating presidents just to give up the monopoly on money creation. It truly led me to Christ. We have the answers for peace. No sane man wants to fight in a war. We have the answers to energy. Nuclear reactors have evolved a dozen times since Chernobyl and 3 mile island and Stanley Meyer made a car that could run on water with better mileage. We have the answers to education. It's called YouTube University. The powers we're up against are evil. Not selfish. Not narcissistic. Not delusional. Actually evil. I literally think Bitcoin was the real domino that caused the Iran blockade. They didn't just damage the dollar's credibility. They demonstrated it's chief use case and characteristic. If all wars are bankers wars, that move could've gotten every banker fired. The Rothschilds couldn't have that. There's no justification for the damage, death and misery they have caused, in my mind, that explains our current situation better, more thoroughly than literal, otherworldly, demonic evil.

Persona's chokehold is just a symptom, courtesy of Thiel and JPMorgan's stranglehold on fintech.
