Maybe the same ones who would give his sats to a "Cashu operator"?

This new swap exchange option shows how deep is corrupted the whole spectrum. People don't want to be free, they only want to get rich in fiat. FOREVER SLAVES. Seriously now, who the fuck is so insane to give his sats for a scamcoin like tether ? https://i.postimg.cc/WzjgQtKp/da Show more

How do you achieve the privacy of cashu any other way? There is a custody risk, sure. But everything in life us about choosing tradeoffs.

I agree. It's not a wishlist, just estimates for expected events.

Efficiency beats brute force, my friend. The Roman Empire has fallen but only after 100 years it became public. The legacy system has failed, Bitcoin works. https://blossom.primal.net/4974eae5ead344a28290a7dcb51554211c282f7230d4bae80c4e8282aab4b9f6.jpg

Can confirm this. Especially people who are neutral or tending to left politics are really turned off because to them it seems that Bitcoin is a right wing project. „Most people have either no opin...

> to them it seems that Bitcoin is a right wing project

The problem is much broader than that. I've been trying to explain Bitcoin to adults and children for some years already, and I've noticed that for people to understand Bitcoin, they must first have to understand the problems Bitcoin solves.

Because of the indoctrination people have been subjected for all their lives, undestanding that somebody taking 60%+ of what you earn is a bad thing may sound like a "right wing", but it's not. Your government taking 60%+ of what you earn is plain slavery, and you have to understand that prior to understanding Bitcoin, or you'll get the usual "yeah, but with Bitcoin you can avoid paying taxes, and that's wrong".

So yeah, it's very difficult to explain or understand.

I think the first problem of the current system is that it’s built on credit, which favors the Haves and disadvantages the have nots. Taxes are diametrical the rich pay the least.

I was thinking on this phrase: "the single best advice you can give friends interested in bitcoin is to download a nostr app so they can feel it first hand".

I think it's freaking wrong. But also I cannot believe what the Bitcoin scene as turned into, so what do I know... I just don't understand anything by now.

A cult of ngu slaves and wannabes in most cases. Most big bag holders don’t really care and not in touch with reality. Gone are the days where we did not want any banks or governments to join … but now they beg for them to come and pump their bags... Good old days of Andreas Antonopoulos and top...

I tried to argue in favor of the broader "Show, don't tell" argument and not that specific advice. However, it's a good way to show a practical and quick use that many people can understand right away.

Perhaps that is not relevant to most people, but sending money abroad, buying online privately, or sending/receiving from your contacts could be. Depends on who you are talking to but Bitcoin can help...

Bitcoin? Of course...

Telling people to install a new app, that's a chat app, where people only chat about nostr and cashu ("what's cashu? Is it Bitcoin?") to tell them that they can send and receive money pressing icons, where the people that you want to send the money to need to also need to install a chat app and "create an identity" -vs- "Just install Phoenix/Zeus and use the Send/Receive buttons".

What you tell people depends on the context and what their needs are, why are you assuming that's my advice? For people that make their living by producing content online the Bitcoin integration in nostr and the properties of nostr are relevant, for others it's not. The point is that you show them...
