For a freer society with free individuals working voluntarily. Developer, technology, business, cooperatives, networker, etc. Based in Portugal. https://linktree.com/citizenpedro #europe #portugal #spain I also like Switzerland and think it has by far one of the most voluntaryist systems in the world. The medium is the message. Long live #nostr. Feel free to send messages :)

We're beginning to have the greatest opportunity for freedom that we've ever had as a whole in the history of humanity. We have never been as connected as this. We have never had as many tools as this. We have never been as close to the truth as this, as a whole. But it's going to be shaky. Just hang in there. Keep calm and carry on. We're going to get there. #bitcoin #nostr

The only democracy in the world is Switzerland. All the other countries are a joke dominated by the political class, parties, etc... We've been living on lies upon lies since forever. The people with power convince everyone of everything by repeating lies. The greatest lie was that you live in a democracy. #nostr #bitcoin #democracy

Your attention is the most fundamental thing you have. The reason why Nostr is fundamental is that it will allow you to define exactly where do you want to spend your attention on. The model is top-down everywhere, where the already established eat everything. This will change with Nostr, with much more flexible, fine-tunable, configurations and models for discovering what you're looking for. We will discover exactly who and what we're looking for AND we will discover to lead, not to follow. The following, follower dynamic will change with Nostr. #nostr #bitcoin

The world is polarized, divided and collapsing because there are no political system in any nation-states (in any but one) that are joining the best of the left and the best of the right, in other words, creating actual solutions that work for EVERYONE from the bottom-up, precisely defined by the PEOPLE with orderly referendums, solutions that promote meritocracy and that actually work for everyone in way or the other, that can be paid, are economical, low debt, long-term, etc... Trump won't do what you want him to do, Kamala even less. Milei will reach a point where he will be wrong. Bukele probably already is getting there. Because they simply don't have the mechanisms. There are no mechanisms for them to represent both the short and long term. How can the people tell Trump what you think is important in short and long term? With protests? Screaming more? Screaming less? There are no mechanisms to serve the people, especially in the long term. How can they precisely know what the people want? What's measuring and defining that? There's nothing measuring that with precision, process and order. We need better leaders (and culture) too sure but most of all we need BETTER systems. And that system until now IS the Swiss model. The Swiss model has been working perfectly since 1848. Switzerland is the richest country in the world per capita. Neutral, peaceful, not even part of Nato. The Swiss model: - People vote on about 16 referendums 3 times per year. All kinds of referendums. Stuff like taxes (they often reject tax raises, taxes are very low in Switzerland), if they should build a new statue at a municipal level, public transit, what can be taught in school, everything, etc, etc. - People's Veto Power: In Switzerland the people can reject ANY law at the federal, cantonal and municipal level. On a federal level they need 50k signatures for that law to go to referendum. Which is nothing compared to the population. The US doesn't have the People Veto Power at the federal level. Switzerland does. If the US had this veto power, there would be no wars for example, because wars would be vetoed by the people. - Federalism: In Switzerland the cantons have independent constitutions with independent courts, education, and police. - Open Lists (Panachage): Voters can choose candidates from any party in elections. - People's Initiatives: Citizens propose laws with 100,000 signatures, leading to a referendum at any level. Meaning anybody can create new laws. - Constitutional Referendums: All constitutional changes require a public referendum. The US has not nothing like this. - Public Recalls: Elected officials can be removed through recall elections. Check out this video if you want to know more about this system: This is the most voluntaryist and libertarian system created. - Corporate Tax Rates: Switzerland offers highly competitive corporate tax rates as low as 11.9%, making it an attractive location for businesses seeking tax efficiency. - Low Income Tax: Personal income tax can be as low as 10% in cantons like Zug, benefiting individuals with average salaries. - Personal Income Tax: Swiss personal income tax rates range between 22% to 45%, varying by canton. - Value-Added Tax (VAT): Switzerland has one of the lowest VAT rates in Europe at 7.7%, benefiting consumers and businesses. #bitcoin #nostr #politics #democracy #libertarian #voluntaryism

Bitcoin is one of the very few real things in the world. People will see that with time. In 30 years we're going to have a much more real world because of it. Keep calm and carry on. #bitcoin #nostr

Bitcoin is about a cultural change into a non-fiat world. It's a cultural change, the medium is the message, the fact that you use Bitcoin is the message. It means you are more real and you're more open for business than fiat based people. It means I can talk to you, propose you ideas, and know that you'll look at them with your rational mind and not your ideological/oversocialized persona. You'll be more gradual, more nuanced, because you have more time to think, you're looking at it with a time frame of decades. A little bit here today might be a lot in 40 years. Fiat people are solely worried if their party/ideology/overall group will keep getting elected in order to keep the printing/system going. By the way, oversocialization means being "assimilated too far into society". Check out if you want to look at an entrepreneurs network. Why not build Bitcoin-focused tokenized/collaborative/open businesses? i.e be more open with business, etc View article → #bitcoin #nostr #entrepreneurship
