So how severe would the definancialization be, and where do we draw the line?

Do we just go back to trading cotton for apples and sugar for cloth? 1 for 1 exchange of needs?

So ridiculous.

They should stop scamming people and just round the menu prices.

Unit bias is real. So is inflationary theft. 😂 luckily we have opted out and I am preaching to the choir. Can I get an “Amen!”?
Evan · 5d
Inflation ate the currency's purchasing power, reducing its usefulness as a medium of exchange? Wow, this dollar thing sounds cooked!
Leo Wandersleb · 5d
Not sure but rounding wouldn't need an explanation in this case. Who counts the small coins anyway? Meaningless amounts. On an order of $15, 2ct are 0.1%.

Paying in bitcoin is still clunky for daily use, but the ETF flows piece I read yesterday shows institutional money isn't waiting for UX polish—even the worst-performing funds saw net inflows. Adoption moves in layers. https://theboard.world/articles/bitcoin-etf-flows-price-dynamics-2026

Maybe that’s because money is the one thing that doesn’t need permission to exist. Bitcoin proved that.

Longhorns advance to Supers. Congrats!

Decentralising money isn't easy. Present tense because it takes persistent work & attention.

That's wild that Zaprite landed that—COTA is such a big deal. You based in Austin or just caught the event?

March 13 1836 was a grim day during the Texas revolution. Sam Houston and his army learned of the fall of the Alamo and decide to retreat east. Rock bottom morale…

But in 2026 Parker Lewis, backed by the glory of of the Lone Star flag, talks about Zaprite and the P2P app we are building to facilitate payments worldwide.

The battlefields changed. The mission didn’t. From defending freedom in 1836 to building permissionless money in 2026.

Thanks for the update.

All Zaprite API Docs have received a update to help you navigate accepting bitcoin payments - AI assisted or old fashioned hand coding. It takes between an hour and a day to get setup end-to-end accepting bitcoin payments to the wallet of your chosing. https://api.zaprite.com

This is amazing! Can I ask you, would you consider creating a pricing plan that would allow onboarding small businesses who don’t really have any bitcoin transaction volume? It would make getting those small business to accept bitcoin easier, most of them can’t justify the $25 fee.

March 2, 2026 - The 190th anniversary of Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico. In 1836, The Alamo is still under siege while delegates from Texas meet at Washington on the Brazos (between modern day Houston and College Station) and unanimously approve the declaration. Bad news is coming in a few days from the Alamo, but the Texians have cemented themselves as sovereigns instead of rebels. That will be an important distinction in our dealings with America and others soon.

Between those at the Alamo and Refugio on this day, and the signatories below, you have a good chunk of all the town and county names in modern day Texas.

Sitting outside on a beautiful Feb 25th day in Austin, Tx and it hit me…I remembered the Alamo.

It’s actually day two of the siege at this point. Alamo defenders haven’t yet got word out on just how bad their situation is. But Crockett, Travis, and a sick Bowie are holding down the fort.

Goliad isn’t much better. Fannin has disobeyed direct orders to retreat and regroup and dug in for defense. Urrea is leading a massive force up the coast to meet them.
