Yes, big time. But it's still illegal to transact with it locally.

Thanks!

This is interesting

Nice one 👌

The problem remains the same. Nobody in the community has any sats.

Beautiful!

Building a circular bitcoin economy demands at first access to buy bitcoin. One of the main challenges I see today hindering bitcoin mainstream adoption is the lack of an international on-ramp. Some people are lucky, others are not. I come from a place where bitcoin is illegal to obtain through fiat rails. Bank transfers to exchanges? Blocked. Buy with credit cards? Blocked. P2P? Depends on your luck. I'm one of those lucky ones who has an international bank account that I can use to buy bitcoin. Others don't. How can we fix this?

I think of it as someone who ran away from a storm and looks back at it with disbelief (and in this case disgust).

This is an interesting dialogue between Jeff Booth and Carlo. Highly recommended to watch. https://youtu.be/FKzxGbaDZD4?si=kZLQXHp3Z3xivGNr

Has anyone tried clawdbot? Just came from a trip to the X sphere and it seems that AI world is on fire. Oh and Moltbook. Crazy sci-fi stuff.

All roads lead to hyperbitcoinization.

Following this train of thought.. What if people realise that paper gold/silver is a problem and demand physical delivery? What if there are "delays" and the price gets away from them? What if the price really gets away from them to the degree that average buyers cannot buy the usual mint sizes? What if they discover that other "coin" that is time-tested, highly divisible, stores their value, sovereign and can immediately be used as a medium of exchange? Nobody's ready for this..

Nostr users like swimming in the blood bath it seems 😂👍 Amazing upbeat atmosphere here

Continuing to read the files. It's a nasty, nasty world out there...

Who are the those "founders"?

Oh wow..
