"Low-income workers as a group are the major victims of minimum wage legislation." — Keith B. Leffler

"Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated." — Thomas Sowell

When the world goes mad, people run to narratives instead of aligning incentives—the only thing that actually holds. In a bull market, everyone looks smart. In a bear market, conviction is separated from hype. Fiat is a system of promises. It works as long as belief survives. When belief fades, they print more of it. Bitcoin is a system of rules: it doesn’t negotiate, plead, or persuade. It quietly liquidates lies over time. Nostr applies the same logic to speech: no permissions, no borrowed reputation, no centralized authorities shaping the feed. In moments like these, you don’t need “hope.” You need low time preference. Build. Learn. Save. Signal. Everything else is noise. ⚡ Value-for-Value isn’t a button. It’s natural selection. If this added value, you already know how to signal it. 🔄

“I have not failed, but found 1000 ways to not make a light bulb.” - Thomas Edison

Freedom is not declared. It is built. Fiat works because you trust it. When trust breaks, everything falls apart. Bitcoin does not ask for faith. It uses mathematics to survive imperfect humans. Censorship requires permission. That’s why it always has gatekeepers. Nostr removes permission. That’s why it’s uncomfortable. Value-for-Value is not a “feature.” It is a truth mechanism. If it delivers value, value flows. If it doesn’t, it disappears. ⚡ Signal it.
