Can anyone share resources about setting up a bitcoin circular economy with an unbanked population.
I have some contacts that work in such places and am trying to orange pill them.

@npub1a2c…w83a I watched this BBC report on TV last night with the context of your note about the interest rate increase in Japan being the starting point. It’s the first time I’ve watched any main stream news in quite a while. I was shocked at how superficial it was and didn’t even mention Japans rate increase.

You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned basis the inflation of the money supply by the government as an issue. However these protests have not been against the cause of the problem (mismanagement of the economy by the government due to short term incentives) they are against a symptom (immigrants, who are the product unsustainable immigration policies made possible by running budget deficits).

Genuine questions:
Did these change because everyone has the right to own a gun?
Did civil rights activists improve the situation for black Americans through the use of guns?
Was the federal government stopped for outlawing pornography and music with guns?
I’m just not convinced that having the right to a gun is the panacea that those that are pro gun believe it to be.

Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.
When was an outcome better when one or more parties to a disagreement were hostile and aggressive?
It’s ok the have different view points but everyone can be better of if they have to defend their point of view from a well reasoned argument against it. Petty name calling benefits no-one, least of all the person doing it since they present themselves as someone incapable of making a counter argument and have to result to personal insults.
I honestly don’t care what you think of me. I’m never going to meet you. You have no impact on my life whatsoever. BUT if we can engage in good faith discussions about our conflicting points of view we could both be better off. Once you resort to aggression, insults, and personal attacks no one benefits.

So by that logic either god made them up or the devil made them up. Ergo they were made up.
Presumably based on the arguments so far narcissist is a word from the devil? If that’s your stance it that would be very fitting because it would probably be an apt adjective for him.
Since we seem to be heading towards an etymology lesson maybe you would care to enlighten us about some other words from the devil so we can steer clear of them.

I don’t disagree that if he speeds up adoption that would be a good thing, but it is an if. And, since mass adoption is a when and not an if, are the side effects of Trump as president and everything that goes along with that worth increased adoption speed?
I don’t know the answer but I think it’s a valid question.

Narcissist
noun
a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves.
Based on this definition I don’t think calling Trump a narcissist is incorrect.
Using racial and sexual slurs to strengthen your argument doesn’t make you look good. It just presents you as angry and petty.

1) humans are omnivores not carnivores. This is why we have incisors and molars.
Try eating a purely carnivore diet and see how that affects your health. A complete lack of fibre will quickly lead to constipation to highlight just one issue.
2) the statement that we’re eating less red meat than ever before is laughable. For most of human history meat was a luxury and difficult to procure let alone store.

Can you give any examples of countries that had a functioning democracy, instituted gun control and then ceased to have a functioning democracy because the state exercised its monopoly on gun violence?
I’m generally open to having my mind changed on things but having grown up and lived in several countries where guns are very rare I find it hard to get on board with the argument that guns are needed to keep a government in check. My lived experience just tells me that isn’t true.

This is a stretch. To say that because a believe A then I actually knowingly or I’m unknowingly believe B is not a logical argument.
I’m anti gun. I also believe that are are numerous systemic problems that need to be fixed that don’t automatically get better because everyone has a gun.
Take the USA as an example. Their political system is not functioning in the best interest of the population. Everyone having guns hasn’t stopped this from happening.
The same thing is true in the UK where there are much stricter gun laws but the outcome is very similar.
Guns are not the simple solution ‘pro gun’ would have you believe and they are not the only way to have a functioning democracy.

But he said that over 200 years ago. Back then you were lucky if you could fire 3 shots a minute with a riffle. Weapons were different now and so is the governance of the entire country. Just because something used to be true doesn’t mean it will always be true.
What I hear when people argue for the right to bear arms is
“I don’t care how many mass shootings there are, I don’t care how many children die; It’s more important that everyone has the right to carry a gun just in case at some point in the future we need to overthrow the government.”

As a non American it still baffles me every time I hear someone try to justify the right to bear arms while missing the whole context of the amendment; the population of the US are no longer well regulated militia.
It’s not like all other western democracies have failed because their citizens don’t have the right to own a gun.
The amendment had its place in time but it’s no longer relevant in a civilised democracy.

I had a similar issue sending money to Sri Lanka. A transfer that used to take 2-3 days was missing for over 2 weeks which took multiple phone calls to find out where it was and why it wasn’t where it was supposed to be.
It’s easy to overlook the fact that there are a lot of places where the banking system doesn’t work as efficiently as it does in the US, UK etc if you don’t experience those frictions.
