Recent Notes

Sold plenty of my pottery at the Crafted Clay Market here in Perth/Australia last Sunday and offered payment with Cash, Bitcoin and Card.
No one wanted to pay with bitcoin 😭, I would have loved to try that.
Hopefully next time.

Danke! Leider ist das Angst machen und verbreiten zu einem Manipulationsmedium geworden oder war es ja vielleicht schon immer.
Es funktioniert zum großen Teil leider auch heute noch.

I wonder if anyone has thought about using a blockchain system like bitcoin to give people an easier way to vote in a direct democracy.
I do not know much about the programming of blockchain or bitcoin but I am watching a lot of what happens politically in the world. I am following Australian and European politics especially German politics.
The recent gain of the AFD in Sachsen Anhalt pushes to more direct democracy.
In my opinion the political system is changing and people want more accountability from politicians and decision makers and there is s lot of talk about direct democracy like they have in Switzerland. In Australia we have referendums every now and then but beside that the one way of change people have is voting every few years which I think is not enough influence.
Imho we need more ways to proclaim our choice we need power from the bottom up not centralised and top down. So could bitcoin and blockchain be a way to implement this?
The problem is that holding these referendums is always very expensive.
If we in the future could use the crypto technology like blockchain where every transaction is visible and kept for future reference could we not use this system for public voting.
Nowadays everyone has a phone or computer so to vote via phone on any subject would be possible except people should be only able to vote once on any subject and well maybe only citizens of that country.
Unless we vote as one for the whole planet. There is some advantage in this system I just haven’t thought it through enough. I just posted this because someone else might have thought in the same direction and all the bit-coiners here see it more clear, if so then please enlighten me.

Whow, that sounds great, I also read a lot, and you are absolutely right.
Since there is so much information out there maybe I should protect my time and myself from overload.

I believe that if more people see that bitcoin can be used as currency like in this movie and also in several of your episodes on your podcast the more they want to learn about it and the more interest it creates.
When I started to be interested in it I asked my german whatsapp friends (i went to school with) if they have investigated bitcoin.
We are like 10 in this group and no one had used it and some even said that I should stay with etf’s because with bitcoin people will just get scammed out of their money. Obviously that also happens a lot but it also shows that people do not understand bitcoin and that it really is a new technology where you are responsible for keeping your coins safe.
I remember you talking to a woman from afrika who said that women cannot inherit any property and she educated women in bitcoin and some of them have their first real money which they save.
This kind of journalism is so great and shows what bitcoin can really do and what it is made for.
Empowering the individual and that is why I love it snd why I love your podcast so much. The energy is different and it was very visible or feel able in the bitcoin jungle movie.
Thank you for what you are doing!❤️
