Am I still a bitcoiner if I don't know what any of this means?

Great South African beer mixed with a great South African sport

Yup, there's always a crisis. Sometimes we sound like the 24hr news channels we love to hate.

More people need to check out . When my family and I were in the US for a couple of years, I could not believe the cost of health insurance. For $28k you could fly to South Africa and have world class surgery in a private hospital and have a holiday here too while you recover.

Actually, it's the other way around.

Have you ever wondered what Bitcoin actually is, beyond the headlines and jargon? This conversation with Walker America, host of one of the fastest-growing Bitcoin podcasts worldwide, breaks everything down into refreshingly simple terms that anyone can understand. Walker's own journey mirrors what many experience—dismissing Bitcoin in 2014, dabbling in cryptocurrencies at the 2017 peak, then finally grasping Bitcoin's significance during the 2020 pandemic. His candid admission that "I knew absolutely nothing about money or economics" before exploring Bitcoin resonates with anyone who's felt intimidated by financial systems designed to seem complex. https://fountain.fm/episode/tDRURyGfnHqme1CSZoWw

Protesters, waving Palestinian flags, have disrupted multiple stages at @lavuelta, including today's final stage in Madrid. I'm not anti-protesting, but your rights to protest do not supersede the rights of others. This is the biggest race of the year for many teams. Its a chance to prove their worth to their sponsors and secure funding for the next season. This pays salaries of the many people employed by each team. Furthermore, there are performance bonuses that riders can earn. Riders themselves are also looking to impress teams to secure their futures, and that of their families. I'm fairly sure that if I walked into any one of those protesters offices on Monday morning, and kicked their desks over and threw their laptops put of the windows, they may feel differently about protesting. For people to feel entitled to stop riders and teams from earning their living, to make a statement about unrelated events is shocking. Those people need to be arrested and punished / fined.

The South African corporate world revolves around the King Report, Reports I, II, III and IV, created by the Judge Mervyn King during the King Commission and first released in 1994. It's all about corporate governance, sustainability, inclusiveness, stakeholders, etc. It's been lauded around the world as a foundational document for corporates to build on. It's probably as relevant as a harbour port manager in Durban writing a foundational document on how to run an efficient and profitable sheep farm in the Karoo.

Currency failures are sweeping the globe at an alarming rate. In August alone, we witnessed the North Korean Kwon collapse, Iran's real lose 99% of its value, and multiple countries hacking zeros off their denominations in desperate attempts to mask hyperinflation. These aren't isolated incidents—they're symptoms of a fundamental breakdown in the fiat system. https://fountain.fm/episode/HcjqYmPVm73EBIzIVkdc
