Christmas Charity Event
Hi everyone, this year we’ll again be doing a Christmas/ or “festive” for anyone of another religion) charity event, this year to provide a party, school fete style, for some kids in one of the poorest area of Asunción - the area on the riverbank between the Palace and Lambare, which gets flooded every year and makes thousands of people homeless each time.
There’s a volunteer charity which runs a school down there with 150 kids of all ages. Unlike last year where we arranged presents for kids in a hospital, the charity has requested not to bring different gifts for different kids (to prevent jealousy/unfairness etc), but instead to spend some time with the kids, and bring lots of food to share (ideally as much as you can carry), pot-luck style, and help them have a fun day which they usually don’t get the opportunity to have.
The kids will be split into two groups, younger and older, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and all of them will have the chance to meet some foreigners (us), under full supervision, in the school and its playground, with a bit of music, some playing football, some just hanging out and listing to us talk about our countries, our jobs, and answering any questions they have. For many, it will be the first time they’ve interacted with people from around the world, and have probably never even heard of some of the jobs we do. Hopefully we can plant some seeds and open some minds to new possibilities 🙌
There is no cost, other than your time, and as much food as you are able to bring to share - if you can make something from your home country that would be great, but even something bought from the supermarket will be an improvement on what these kids normally eat.
Donations will of course be accepted by the charity directly, and there is also a “shop” where you can buy things made by some of the kids and their families - they make art from items sourced from the rubbish dump nearby (these kids live in the area where all our trash ends up dumped next to their “houses”, which flood every time the river bursts its banks.
Capacity is limited due to space, but we hope to have groups of people turn up at different times throughout the day, bringing food, meeting the kids, and seeing what their life is like, just a few kilometres from all our fancy modern apartments.
This is being organised between this Asunción Digital Nomads community and the Bitcoin Paraguay community (and of course the charity which works to help these kids every day of the year), if you want to meet one of the charity organisers, hear their story, check them out, etc, there will be a presentation at the monthly Bitcoin Paraguay community meetup at Palo Santo this evening from 7pm onwards, so come join (the monthly meet-ups are aimed at beginners to Bitcoin, as well as long-term bitcoiners - everyone is always welcome).
More details about the charity event will be provided in here later, the planned date for the fete/party is Weds 18th December.
Last year we had a huge turnout with a much smaller community, so please join us in doing something nice for some of the least fortunate of our neighbours in Asunción 🙌
More to follow over the next few days, and hope to see lots of you there tonight ❤️

New investors are willing to overpay now, for the future returns, on the basis that future investors will also overpay, because it works. Bizarre in some ways, makes perfect sense in other ways. All the figures are published and audited, it’s unlikely that the people buying MSTR don’t know that the current market cap is roughly 3x the current BTC holdings’ spot price. How does one accurately value a company that can raise capital at 0% to buy BTC? Some might say it’s currently underpriced, even at 3x book value…

2024-11-20 20:47:52 UTC

- reply

Mostly investors who believe the price of MSTR shares will continue to grow at a faster pace than the price of BTC itself. Plus some who actually want to own equity long-term in a company that has figured out how to regularly add BTC to their balance sheet at a near-zero cost

The Latin American Special Olympics Games commence in Asunción later this week!
Around1,000 athletes from 20 different countries across Latin America are making their way to Paraguay right now, with the Special Olympics starting in just three days!
Special Olympics are very different than the Paralympics. In the Paralympics, athletes have a physical disability. In the Special Olympics, performing athletes have an intellectual disability, Down syndrome, autism, or another similar challenge to overcome in addition to the sporting challenges.
Over 2,000 volunteers are helping to make this happen - and you can participate by attending the Games in person if you're in Asunción, or by following along on the Panam Sports Channel.

Yes options are different - and yes that’s how short-selling works (although it can be done without borrowing the asset, if it’s already owned), but how is this a function of a fiat currency system, or a government?
It’s private individuals/companies/banks doing this, between themselves?
And happens just as much on DeFi markets as it does on CeFi markets?
And happens with all sorts of different assets?
And presumably the only way to prevent it would be additional market rules to ban it…?

Nice 🙌 With the Nostr side, were you thinking that the relays are elevating the person? Or the person is pulling up the relays? Or the relays are pulling the person along like a pack of steerable husky dogs? Or something else?

Shorting any asset is agreeing to sell it at the current price(ish) on a future date. So yes, a bet that it will go down in value. Doing that without having a corresponding right to own the asset is “naked short selling”; doing it with either ownership of the asset or at least the contractual right to own the asset is “covered short selling”. Naked short selling is mostly illegal on many developed markets (including the US, although the wordings around “right to own” are a bit weak).
Either way, no new units of the underlying asset are created, and for every agreed sale of a unit, a purchase of a unit is also agreed (as you say above), so the net difference is zero, every time.
The ones buying the contract don’t own the asset until the strike date. So you don’t have two owners at the same time. One owns the asset, the other owns a contract to buy the asset in future.
When market events turn against market participants (such as during a “short squeeze”, the pressure is on the short sellers, not the underlying asset itself. The short sellers may get wiped out, or go bankrupt, or not be able to pay their debts, but the asset itself is unaffected - the market price of the asset might change, but there is no change to the asset itself, nor any change to how many units of it exist.
There are two types of broker/custodian - fiduciary (sometimes called “full service”) and non-fiduciary.
Full service ones (such as Interactive Brokers) give you the option to allow them to lend/repo your assets in exchange for a cut of the fees they generate, or not - your choice. Customer assets are segregated from company assets.
Non-fiduciary brokers (such as Robinhood) are basically just borrowing your funds, don’t have that separation, can do what they like with your money, and are basically just promising you you’ll get what you expect, as you describe. Best avoided, and not the only option available.
Digitalisation of exchanges makes it easier and quicker to do all of this, but it didn’t herald the start of this - short selling is just a sales purchase agreement, a contract. Contracts have existed for millennia.
Sometimes people sign contracts they then can’t deliver on - this is counterparty risk. It’s part of the free-ish market though, and nothing to do with governments, fiat currency, central banks, etc. The vast majority of trades and contracts are by and between private individuals and companies 🤷‍♀️

ETF’s aren’t derivatives… and when shorted, no new units are created, it doesn’t work the same way as CFD’s, which do act the way described above. CDO’s caused a problem because nobody knew what the underlying individual debts were so they couldn’t be unwound quickly when a counterparty went bust, whereas an ETF with only one holding (ie BTC) is literally the most simple simple thing to unwind, and unlike a collection of different debts, is entirely fungible

Actually, this isn’t true - it has been done, and it has worked. In 1814, a law was introduced in Paraguay which forced inter-racial marriage - it was illegal to marry someone of the same race. This forced those of European descent, and those of indigenous decent to “come together” (pardon the risqué pun) and ensured that the vast majority of future generations would be mixed-race, known as “Mestizo”. Today, more than 90% of Paraguayans have both European and indigenous ancestry; both indigenous Guaraní language and Spanish are spoken widely, both indigenous and European culture is lived and celebrated, and the innate acceptance of other races and cultures has led to a very large percentage of Paraguayans having a non-Paraguayan ancestor or relative, as well as a culture that actively welcomes peace-loving foreigners who come to the country. Maybe it’s time for you to experience Paraguay for yourself - but please leave your pre-conceived biases at home when you travel somewhere new ❤️ #paraguay #asuncion #multiculturalism
