It went really well, Joe. My wife is highly averse to 'boring bitcoin' content. She was fully engaged for the entire presentation, complimentary, and she fully participated in the discussion that followed. So, needless to say, well done mate!
My friend, who is slowly becoming a bitcoiner (but still has a normie mentality in many ways) also enjoyed the presentation, but was more challenging with certain aspects. In particular, the second flow chart, focusing on big pharma, big food, etc.
A local businessman that is completely new to Bitcoin also attended, and also really enjoyed the video. He did say that to take it all in, he would need to re-watch it to digest many of the concepts as he felt it was a lot to take in.
One question that it raised for me during the discussion that followed, pertained to the surveillance economy we're all subject to now. If we were living with a bitcoin-based monetary system in the early days of the Internet, my expectation is that the change to our incentives would have resulted in a value-based Internet economy, rather than a surveillance/attention based economy.
Have you encountered this question? What are your thoughts?

Set up your wallet so you can ‘accept crypto’ 😁.

I feel the same, but I know it’s a problem caused by my own behaviour.
I’m used to lurking, liking, and infrequently commenting.
I’m still getting my head around ENGAGING, and establishing rapport / relationships.
It’s not easy changing a deeply embedded mindset that was previously conditioned by X.

I visited Copenhagen for the first time earlier this summer and while there, my wife’s and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with a really nice meal out.
We raved to the waiter about the sourdough rye bread (and other courses!) and ended up getting a tub of the starter used to make the bread.
The starter made it home safely (after several questions at security 😅) and yesterday I made my first load with it.
So satisfyingly good! Just thought I’d share. 😋

So, zaps have now also been disabled on Plebstr on iOS, what should I try now? Am I limited to just desktop apps now? (assuming I don’t switch to Android)

Anyone else using Fountain notice that sats via normal usage and adverts have ceased? Maybe it’s just me?

Meanwhile, in the UK, we’re sleep walking into a CBDC. They’re telling us we’re going to see an end to cash. They’re of course also telling us that our privacy will be respected. And that the money won’t be programmable.
But, of course they’ll lie about this. Who in their right mind would would accept a surveillance coin?
The changes will be incremental of course, and will likely start with some sort of emergency 🚨.
Even if our current government does have good intentions, what about subsequent governments? Once they fully control the money, it will be too late.
I try my best to get my normie friends and family to care, but they’re indifferent. Sheep 🐑

Spent the afternoon with family and friends on Gwynver beach in Cornwall, England today. If you’re ever down this way I highly recommend it. 😎
