So what does fix it in your opinion? 🧐 Or do you think the world is beyond fixing?

Personally, I'm hoping for a combination of "better money" (BTC, or perhaps a better alternative that I do not yet know of) plus "better taxes" (in many cases: higher taxes on wealth & consumption, lower taxes on labor).

That should hopefully slowly decentralize purchasing power a bit more over time to the current situation. And make a persons purchasing power more correlated to "how hard you tried to help the rest of the world with your time today" rather than "which assets you owned and how close you were to the money printer today" 🤩

The taxes part doesnt seem to be a very popular opinion on Nostr or many other BTC circles. But ah well, we'll see what happens - stay healthy & happy out there 🫶

What do you mean when you say "believe in God" / "having faith" etc? Literally thinking and/or feeling there is an almighty entity out there that has your destiny mapped out for you, so no need to worry about yourself any longer?

I was raised religiously, wouldnt say I "believe in God" in that sense (although that depends on how we define it of course) but still the older I get, the easier I find it to not worry about myself or live for myself.

Not trying to be a dick or start a religious argument here btw, just curious what it means for you when you say that 🧐

In which German city is BTC already that widely accepted? Not trying to 'dox' you or anything, just curious. I recently made my first real life purchase in BTC here in NL (2 pancakes and some drinks to go with them 😋😂) but had to actively look for a place that accepts BTC. Even contacted them before visiting, to double check whether they really did accept BTC. I guess BTC acceptance by Dutch pancake restaurants is not super high on the 'how to improve the world' list, but getting from 'store of value' to 'medium of exchange' (which I hope we will) still feels like quite a big step to me.
