@nprofile…4t9g There are definitely hippie's kids around and some sort of dedicated kids area.
At least once I saw a guy leading a duck leading it's ducklings around the site which gathered a trail of kids reminding me of the pied piper. I presume they didn't end up in the lake or whatever. 🤣
Also some thing they call Teen Base Camp which sounds so cringe I can't imagine any actual teenagers liking it but apparently they do. Probably the younger ones who can't pass at the bar I assume. I didn't try hanging out at Teen Base Camp to find out.
The Cider Bar is great. Four quid a pint. Immaculately stoned service.
Curious kids will likely see nudity and if paying attention then drug use. I don't personally think that's an issue for being a thing kids see but I'm aware some do.
I'lll ask Indigo or Clare who you should get in touch with but not tonight. Too late for text.

@nprofile…4t9g Could ask Indigo who you need to talk to if you want your band to play. Would love to see you there.
Don't think anyone gets paid much though. Certainly the folks I know that work there barely cover food and fuel 🤷‍♂️

Despite much opinion to the contrary, the government money we use is crappy.
I'm at bitfest in Manchester to find out if Bitcoin could be a better money.
It could hardly be worse.
The mood is still good, people are joking about recent devaluation rather than crying. Those who aren't all in are trying to buy more at the discount.
After an introduction by Mad Bitcoins, Joe Bryan explains the problem with government money.
He imagines an island on which two types of money are tried, with a dividing wall between them.
When economic problems hit, government can just print more money on the fiat side. Everyone now using money which is worth less. Distorting prices, inflating asset prices, making the rich (who hold assets) richer and the poor (who have to pay inflated prices) poorer. Driving wealth inequality.
On the hard money side, government must tax properly. Take in more from the rich rather than inflating to take it from the poor. Reducing wealth inequality.
On the government money side, the wealthy monitize houses, stocks, resources. Saving in money is impossible, its inflated away. So they save in assets and hording resources. Capital is misallocated. The youth can't afford houses. Poverty traps are caused. The only way out is printing more for benefits. Making it all worse. More economic crises, more printing. More government debt.
Eventually, the wall is broken. Government money people can save in the hard money instead. It reduces the value of government money further. More printing. More inflation.
Eventually, war. Funded by printed money.
The dollar is the best of a bad bunch all other government money is falling in value even faster.
I wonder, is bitcoin really this better money though? It's limited, hard, and can't be printed without energy investment.
I'm still unsure that fixing money fixes the world.

Note: "crypto" is mostly more like government money than bitcoin. It can be printed indefinitely by it's makers, does not cost it's makers to print. Crypto is usually just a scam people to get more bitcoin. Bitcoin is not crypto.
