GM - It's a day of rest (in this part of the world) - I hope yours will be restful too. Please, take TIME to thank God that you HAVE THE FREEDOM & wherewithal to read this. And please take another moment, to think of those who DO NOT... Example (why we bitcoin) A friend of mine lives largely off-grid & stores his wealth in cattle in Zimbabwe. Many do because it is a relatively secure SoV except in times of drought (ie now). This week he lost all 5 head of cattle he owns to poisoning (possibly spillage from artisanal mining that uses cyanide and thus pollutes water sources). - Such miners, if culpable, are also desperate. This is his entire pension built over some 50 years and was his income source provision for his children's education. So, I am not asking for your charity - but for your prayers for the less fortunate in general. ( I trust, knowing his circumstance, that he will find support from the Christian family he is part of and loves ) In a better world, in a bitcoin world, the risk of such tragedies would be less necessary to preserve value. Those who could afford risk might gain, but those in desperate need would not need to. - one of the cows in question - a generic photo representing the wretched tragedy of artisanal mining #Fiat indebtedness between countries is THE principal cause of such misery Let us see an end to it.
