As much as I want bitcoin to succeed, more than almost anything in my life, part of the premise was to give people optionality. Not having a bank account is pretty badass, but the limitations are very real.

being bankless since 2020 i can confirm. it's fucking rough. some years better than others. these last two years... worse. chokepoints everywhere. as you so well put: the limitations are _very_ real. at least... in the west.

i just found and tried to buy your book - this is it right?

Plebeian Market

says "unavailable". how do i buy it?

wait, working now!

purchased 🫡🫡 you're doing everything right and thus you should succeed. that is how the world should work - let's make that true.

appreciate that. thanks

Do you mind elaborating on the choke points? I ran into one where i was going to get my haircut, a barber on btc maps. She ended up cancelling saying she looked into it and the custody for Bitcoin owned through a business came with taxes, custody fees, apparently it was really convoluted to the point that she didn't even want to try it.

I can't get the damn thing to load

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.

Can’t get it to load either 😖

I'm in the same boat. Square doesn't help in the US?

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.

Not with the custody issues, so I hear, from one half hearted business owner.

Search for "book" or "seed" and then look for @rare 's on the listing. I had the same issue :( The rest of the checkout isn't much easier lol but worth it I think

This is my first experience with plebeian market and I gotta say it was a little rough. Makes me sad - there are at least two other people in this thread trying to go to your listing and having issues. Hopefully they follow through.

its a little buggy, but I'm sure @plebeianmarket is working on it.

see if this works:

Plebeian Market

try:

Plebeian Market

the pos does what it can. its the mindset, that doesn't come included.

Nope still can’t get it to load, tried a few different browsers too. @npub1mark...p7hd

But didn't they enable lightning by default?

Plebian Market isn’t loading your book for me. Any other options of ordering it? It’s stuck at loading product all the time.
