Reinforcing, shocking, encouraging conversation. Second citizenship. Kanada, as currently iterated, NOT a model to follow, yet heating up guinea pig we are here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYHkJL5r8Q0

A beautiful and amazing story full of courage and transformation. Ana was born twice into a monetary reset (once physically in the former Soviet Union as it collapsed/disintegrated, and then again when she moved to the USA at the time of the 2008 crash) which made her eventually, but more quickly than most (probably because of here own, her parents' and her grandparents' experience with currency evaporating in value overnight), see the value, premise behind, and need for, Bitcoin. Her story and journey reveals the importance of spirit and energy, and not dismissing it. As but one example, Anastasia cured herself of a growth on her arm by working through her issues and forgiving others through 7 days of writing it out, journaling using Susan Hay's method. I was pleasantly surprised and inspired of what can happen in the medical system of other countries, cultures and paradigms, like in this story where the nurse at the orphanage she was living at was the one who told her that the growth was a result of her anger, negativity or past trauma... and that it could be reversed and transformed. Probably more likely to happen via a nurse than a doctor wouldn't you say?! Ana turned out great with the help of an orphanage in Russia, where she spent about 12 years of her life--as this was a way she (and her sister) could be guaranteed food as well as other opporunities (e.g.: to walk around and see new things in the Siberian city in which the orphanage was located and to be able to use e-mail at a time when the internet was hardly available, at least to the public!). All of this was contrary--at least to me--to my preconceived ideas of what an orphanage is all about: my conception was that such a place and institution was largely negative. Opportunities and another exponential change occured when she was adopted by a family in the USA where her young brother--that she had only seen twice before--was already living and where she took on the great challenge of learning English. There seems to be a lot that can be learned of the degenerative and limiting experiences of people who lived during the former Soviet Union or other people who were under the boot of communism, socialism. There is much we can gain from the wisdom and the crappy experience of these folks so that we might be able to leap-frog or dampen our particular government's characteristics or desire to be like these communist systems. Efrat, thank you for setting up this beautiful interview, conversation, and for sharing it to the world.

The beauty about sledding "snowmobiling" is that the existing path of snow and ice is enough to travel on. If it is a proper analogy, it is an additive rather than subtractive technology in that you do not have to plow or snowblow the road you are riding on as is the case with most vehicles. As long as there is enough snow or ice, you have your road. It is also--within reason--possible to choose your own route: you are the cowboy or outlaw of the snowy, white 'wastes' in which you travel in a grey zone in and out of officialdom: going on the marked/allowed trails and forging your own path. The winter landscape is your pallette.

There are also some people who download it and listen to it OFFline on VLC or another media player. It would be nice if Fountain, , or some other team could still allow people to listen OFFline while also leaving open the potential to earn sats from listening--maybe in a similar way to how Lightning works in that one can still do transactions without having to be online (as in connected to layer 1 Bitcoin).

Fuck you Walker. https://www.fountain.fm/episode/fZAu5hKJ7vgcOhGIUeui provides a unique perspective given his bridging of Africa and UK and provides a glimpse of the power of federations with other tech stacks.
