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.

#Fiat indebtedness between countries is THE principal cause of such misery

Let us see an end to it.
