I know that's how many of the better off think, but the basic thesis is we are all here together and history says it doesn't end well when inequality gets out of hand.

You know better than me about conflict.org, I understand there was often decades of violent outbursts leading up to the oppressive regimes being ousted by people power coming together peacefully in huge numbers.

He won't be getting any of my energy!

The current direction of travel does not need to either continue or end badly. https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/polands-solidarity-movement-1980-1989/ Will It require hard and brave decisions from plebs, sure, but just look at the recent history... Portugal,, Phillipines, Poland, all threw out authoritarianism in the 70's and 80's. I remember Lech Walensca, an electrician, leading the Polish people out of the dark. "by the end of the 1970s, people’s self-organization and a broad coalition of workers, intellectuals, students, members of the Catholic church and peasants became a potent force for change in Polish society. " Key point... "Their mass nonviolent mobilization was characterized by the establishment of a covert parallel polis alongside the existing authoritarian system in order to liberate society from the control of the ruling party without overtly challenging its dominance." Statistically, it only needs 3.5% of a population to provoke fundamental change. It would appear that bitcoin is on track to usher in change – once it is adopted as a true parallel alternative. But only when the bitcoin economy hits 3.5% of global trade can we expect an awakening. As long as exchanges and banks are in the middle, no way will it be taken seriously.

Poverty is both a physical and a psychological oppression – a hand‑cuff, a head‑cuff, the same debilitating sensation. Inflation is widening global poverty. Who is responsible for inflation? Putin, broken supply chains, wars, viruses? The list of distracting “BS” goes on, pulling our attention toward fleeting (though sometimes genuinely impactful) glitches. Those glitches are used to distract from the chronic glitch: governments—more precisely, the civil service and corporate lobbyists behind them—continually flood the economy with more money. Good people in public‑sector jobs end up doing harmful things because they are forced to follow the rules of a terrible system that only knows how to grow. To grow, the state takes more. Oppression is baked into the pie. For the majority, poverty has become a given at this stage of the cycle, a system that transfers everyone’s energy and wealth creation to a tiny elite. When will both the benefactors and the losers realize that this cannot continue? No one can afford to shrug off the obvious direction of travel. If a corporation relies on 99 % of its customers to generate its billions, and one day it discovers that its system has left 80 % of those customers mired in poverty… We are all in this together. We all have to pressure government to rein in the momentum that is ruining society. Communities have to come together, individuals are too easy to pick off, to make examples of. We have to vote with our wallets and buy local, and vigorously challenge the next tax rise or service rate increase. It's absolutely ridiculous that the most successful societies in history are on their knees because leaders don't read history books. And we have finally found the hardest form of money, an anti-inflation money, the first of its kind since the Big Bang. History won't judge our leaders or the citizens kindly if we ignore this incredible get-out-of-jail card aka Bitcoin. Will we change systems or continue to sleepwalk into a brick wall? I'm one of millions who see the chance BTC offers, and I don't want to be part of an historically consistent human failure!

Spain’s “Strong Economy”: The Monetary Illusion 👉 Nostr The euro-only path 2022-2024 left the average Spanish household with 12 % less food, whereas converting the same €1 600 into Bitcoin would have given roughly €6 000–€7 000 extra food-budget value by the end of 2024.
