My favorite quote in The Sandman of Neil Gaiman is from Hob Gadling, a mortal who became immortal after meeting Dream: "I've never seen someone lead a perfect life. The best any of us can do is enjoy what little time we have. And try not to ruin it for anyone else. And whatever mistakes you've made, or you think you've made... Maybe it's not too late to fix them." #TheSandman #Netlix #series

I tried that a while back, but couldn't get it to work from Thailand. I heard of it on Shapeshift. Same with Relai, BTW, another Swiss service. Simply never worked for me.

Thai baht. Thailand currency.

International banking sucks. So much so that I decided to use to convert from THB to BTC to EUR, instead of just making a transfer Unfortunately, the experience wasn't great today. I easily converted THB to BTC, using the same seller as usual. But after, I had to cancel 2 trades: - First one because the buyer pretended to have sent the money, and tried to send me to a third party platform, to "accept" the funds... - Second one because the seller wouldn't honor their own rate from HodlHodl, trying to haggle a better deal for themselves... I guess I should have been more careful picking up an offer. I mostly looked at the price. But their success rate was not in the 90s. And they'd made very few trades. I'm still learning. But I wasted so much time on this. And I haven't managed to convert from BTC to EUR, yet. Plus, the price of Bitcoin is falling down, so I may lose on that, too, and not even get the amount I planned for in the first place. On to the next. #banking #banksucks #bitcoin #hodlhodl #cross-border

Putain.

Yesterday, I finished reading Hidden Repression by The foreword by hit me hard! My 2 favorite quotes: "[W]e've created a world that requires people to literally gamble on where to place their money to avoid it losing its purchasing power, and then we wonder why our world looks the way it does." "The rule of law doesn't protect citizens from the manipulation of money." Then, Alex's text was easy to read. But it was quite short (or it felt like it, as I read it quickly). The content mostly enraged me, and I couldn't sleep afterward. I'm still reeling from the experience. What's most astonishing to me is that the IMF and WB are getting away with such a shocking and disturbing behavior, under the guise of benevolence or security. It's all just a facade for neocolonial exploitation. And most people in the West are completely oblivious to it. Why aren't more people talking about this? Why aren't we demanding change? The final chapter felt slightly off to me. I understand the intention was likely to conclude on a hopeful note, and to introduce Bitcoin as the peaceful solution. But it felt somewhat disconnected from the previous chapters. And it makes me hesitant to share the book with skeptical friends and family. They'll probably dismiss the book's important messages because of it. But all in all, great book, and highly recommended. #bookstr #bitcoin #hiddenrepression #imf #worldbank
