If you think the left is unreachable on sound money, you haven’t internalized that the left doesn’t know the term or problem framing. So make it accessible. Especially if you’re pro-Bitcoin. Dignity of work? No dignity of work if the value of that work can be eroded by a “printer.” Seeding the capital for Abundance? It’s hard capital already and easy for anyone to acquire in any amount. Addressing wealth inequality? Cantillon’s yelling at you to talk about this. Not everyone shares classical liberal, libertarian, or cypherpunk priorities and values. Fortunately, sound money is actually better for everybody, and speaks to liberal, conservative, progressive, centrist, and institutionalist values, concerns, and priorities, too. We ought to do better making those cases as well.

World Champions—well done, Spain! 🇪🇸 Bien jugado, chavales.

!GOOOOOOOOOOOOOL ESPAÑA! 🇪🇸

Ted Lasso at the World Cup halftime is on my top 10 for this year already.

So I’m seeing the second one having come through now on my Wallet of Satoshi, but Nostr is still showing none, despite being connected. I may have it hooked up wrong?

¡Vamos, chaval! 🇪🇸

But it just *was* football season, Ben. That was football. 👀⚽️

This may be controversial, and I’m biased having lived there, but… Let’s go Spain! 🇪🇸 Any of my fellow nostriches watching the World Cup?

Cool. 😁

Arguing the value of sound money and Bitcoin with liberals and progressives isn’t actually that hard. You just have to put the conversation in their language—what do they *actually* most care about? How does sound money or Bitcoin achieve that?

Just checked—I think I got it? At least, there are sats in my wallet I didn’t put there! (Unless someone else zapped me.) My first zap, too! Thanks, Beau!

There is no dignity of work if the value of that work disappears after you’ve earned it. https://open.substack.com/pub/thecommonwealthperspective/p/sound-money-and-the-dignity-of-work

I want to complain.

There is no dignity of work without sound money. The Nostr crowd really doesn’t need reminding of this, but this might help you when talking to someone on the left. (Take it from a former progressive of the social democratic / liberal variety.) https://open.substack.com/pub/thecommonwealthperspective/p/sound-money-and-the-dignity-of-work

And if I want people to zap each other for saying smart, good things… should I…

I think I’m just naïve enough to believe I can make a difference. And that’s why I will.

But… but…

Oh, I know. But I’m Zillennial. It’s what I played with the neighbors 🤷‍♂️

I heard the Super Smash Bros music start in my head and now it won’t go away. I blame you. 😂
