Would add -
Credible results from:
- Recent Mining rejection in Norway (increasing energy costs to residents)
- Continued El Salvador Economic independence
- Surinam elections (upcoiming)
- Bhutan Impact
( My note https://primal.net/e/note1hkv0z0wan9kt3mdvkfryehq5cd2qhudx4r4qfn9v0s904r74kkjqhqw8gj )
- All the evidence is positive (even ETH collapse is good news)

A chart showing the trace of your foot when you have trodden in something unspeakable.
Eventually even the stickiest turds shake completely loose and fall to the ground.
My suggestion would be dump your ETH ASAP and show a clean pair of heels.
Until then people around you will continue to look at you the way they do.

Regarding #BTC distribution vs wealth concentration.
Early hodlers will have an advantage - but it is by design transient.
BTC balances will tend towardstracking the difference between value consumption and creation for any person or entity.
Insofar as those needing to consume are prepared and able to create value they will be able to maintain their BTC balance.
Insofar as those choosing to (or forced to) consume more than the value they create their BTC balance will diminish.
However a diminishing BTC balance may also hold purchasing power (because deflation h/t @npub1s05…eyhe ).
The very idea that may be a problem with uneven distribution during the next 120 years is thus moot. Why? ...
BTC ownership is designed to decentralise over time and always will.
This remains true so long as essentials and preferences require any effort of any sort to be acquired (while there is any scarcity of resources). So scarce money drives towards abundance (for all)
In short scarce resources (of any sorts that are commonly needed) assure wealth redistribution and decentralisation.
Temporary exceptions include monopolies and state controls - however since both must be defended to sustain power - they too are eventually decapitated.
But why is concern over the initial imbalance moot - because it is a vast improvement over #fiat being directionally opposite !

"Tough on Speech" >> "Tough on Crime" ?
"UK police and crime minister’s purse stolen at police conference.
Diana Johnson’s belongings stolen from hotel where she gave speech to members of Police Superintendents’ Association"
It seems the descent into clown world is becoming more obvious day-by-day. Had she held her wealth in BTC she might have left the conference none-the-poorer as well as none-the-wiser. 🤣

"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." 1 Corinthians 13:11
Moving from #Ethereum to #Bitcoin is as inevitable as time and is akin to growing up.
As this occurs fewer suffer from scams and #fiat demise accelerates.
To confess my sins - several years back I owned some ethereum.
In my greed I had not put in the Work to understand
But Bitcoin Maxis - helped me so thank you all !

It seems the new Draghi report on EU development suffers from three major delusions:
https://commission.europa.eu/topics/strengthening-european-competitiveness/eu-competitiveness-looking-ahead_en
1. That issuing debt to fund public spending is a path to wealth creation and equality. The Cantillon Effect on is already on steroids with high Gini (inequality) scores & uneven distribution of beneficiaries.
@npub1esg…xhep comments "But there seems to be increasing agreement on the need to reform the EU's €1.2 trillion budget, diverting funds away from Europe's poorer regions toward industrial, digitalization and innovation policies. This would align Draghi with the plans the Commission is already putting forward and is looked upon favorably in Berlin."
2. That pumping money into technology like AI rather than allowing free-market entrepreneurial allocation of capital will achieve anything other than securing further the destructions of SME's and rural communities. Mis-allocation by the state creates not only tax & debt burdens, it rewards those with access to governmnets to the detriment of others, and increases inflation
3. The idea that faster pharma approval processes can allow the EU to play catch up with the US is utterly farcical. Who wants to be subject to yet bigger pharma, who wants to accelerate introduction of experimental and unproven 'solutions' and do we not believe that improving dietary nourishment and reducing state sponsorship of sugar, tabacco and additives industries might actually do more good?

#Fiat collapse in 5 months since launch
The ZiG Zimbabwean currency nominally backed by #GOLD has collapsed within 5 months of launch
According to Zim EYE
"The admission was made by Acting President Constantino Chiwenga, acknowledging that he may phase out the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency and introduce a new monetary system when he takes over power." (Source : Zim EYE 5th Septenber)
https://www.zimeye.net/2024/09/05/zig-finally-collapses/
This is unquestionably a further tragedy for impoverished Zimbabwe.
They need a hard, inviolable currency - Any suggestions ?

More on Artisanal Mining (in general) h/t Hugh Brown

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.

Stephan, 🎯 but note:
"to think independently" allows decision.
(Latin decidere, from de- ‘off’ + caedere ‘cut’.)
You cut away irrelevant matters
A decision is not an emotional thing -
so "pain and scorn" are irrelevant.
The beauty of the HODL - pre-mass adoption

Co-incidentally wrote a note to that effect here:
https://primal.net/e/note1e9n2mv6x89t2qwenlmp5l7s3kwet20aw0htz2l5cp4qs4jpqekjs8x88qs
Tl;DR - Sovereign control
Both Offence and Instructions are taken
Binding someone to hear or act is violence
"I was told to" has not been an excuse since Mai Lai / Nuremberg
Own your actions!

2024-09-06 13:01:17

Free Speech and Free Listening are different.
Taking offence is a decision
At the core of human rights is sovereignty over the body.
If I exercise my vocal cords - it may annoy you (it probably will ;) - but you may move away (or ask for my silence)
What I may not do is impose hearing on you, any more than I should impose silence on you.
To bind you in any way - with the exception of defensive action is coercion or violence (of your sovereignty)
So I can ignore your words or avoid them - unless you are violating me. In which case I may and should resist.
EXACTLY THE SAME applies to someone you move to violence against me. They may ignore you (and should), and maybe I can ignore them.
If they act violently they have no excuse ("Doing My Duty" was the rejected Nuremberg defence and didn't apply at My Lai either)
What is unacceptable is for me to bind them (unless to resist their violence)
Thus punishing free-speech is violence as much as unwarranted incarceration or physical abuse is a violation.
Key message - People offer offence - to take it or not is your choice - own it !
To intend offence (taken or not) is offensive - and some will.
If you can rise above it you are the better person.

Allow me to explain:

I can take it all from you
Again again again again
Again again again and deeper and down
2/
I have all the ways you see
To keep you guessing, stop your messing with me
You'll be back to find your way
Again again again again
Again-gain-gain-gain deeper and down
3/
I have found you out you see
I know what you're doing, what you're doing to me
I'll keep on and say to you
Again again again again

Hi Freddie,
Really appreciate the zap (it's working Woohoo ! )
Even happier with the share. So TY.
If interested I tried a habla.new longer form note
re-adoption, eccentricity etc - if anyone can / wants to read it - great.
If i get to a readership of 5+ I might even write more ✒️

Active on nostr for nearly a whole day - So here's how to fix it (for yourself) 😁
1. Follow more people that on other networks to increase feed volume (Quality #YMMV)
Elsewhere algos force exposure to more content, bots, irrelevance, ads etc
2. Feel free to un-follow - it's not an insult - it's the opposite of free speech i.e. #Free_listening - You can't give offense - you can only take it.
3. Your bubble is largely self-determined here (causing confirmation bias) - so again, a diversity of inputs passively enhances "your don't trust, verify" mindset & health
4. Repost (selectively+comment) adds value helps but don't be a non-discriminating relay (b/c there's an app for that)
Re zaps - Zaps can encourage behaviour you value - who knew?
If any one person would like to send me a micro zap (so I know my wallet works) I would appreciate it :
Send works - I need to get "off my duck" on RX
BTW "off my duck" is cricketing term for batting zero (egg shaped) so far I am "bowling a virgin over" (which in cricket is a good thing but for zaps - not so much)
Once wallet woks I can look into NIP-05 next
Courtesy question - do people prefer sound-bites or longish notes?

Tried to zap you (not sure if it went (a little yellow 42 flickered up then zap button grayed out again) - I don't see a balance anywhere on the desktop client) - will try on mobile app (might work better).
If you end up with twice my enormous generosity - spend it wisely !
