One of the pushbacks I receive most about adopting Bitcoin is “Bitcoin will be shutdown by governments” Clearly we know they can’t “shut it down”; however, they CAN slow adoption with closing fiat on/off ramps. These are coming from people who know the money system is broken and are very in tune with the current state of government and economy. How do you respond to people who say this as a reason why they won’t consider Bitcoin?

Is it a coincidence that Bitcoin was created at the start of the 4th turning?

I might write a new book called “Bitcoin Dad, Fiat Dad” a modernized version of Robert Kiyosaki “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” book. What do you think?

Are there any times in history that experienced civil unrest when economic and political conditions were similar to what they are today? When I have conversations with those in their 70s, they say they have never seen the world as fucked up as it is right now and am curious if information just didn’t travel as fast, or are we truly experiencing a 4th turning. If we are, what are you doing to prepare aside from adopting a Bitcoin standard? Thoughts?

How to you inform someone about the importance of Bitcoin without sounding like the world is going to collapse?

Pricing goods and services in Bitcoin might be one of the most overlooked and important things to understand about money. When you measure things using a currency that losing value, your gains aren’t what you think they are. https://pricedinbitcoin21.com/landing

Since everyone is ditching Twitter for NOSTR, do you think all the SPAM bots will start saying “Zap me later” with a link to Telegram instead of “Thank me later” on Twitter? #[0]

What app is everyone using to create all these cool art posts I’m seeing?

Just received an email from Bittrex that they are ceasing operations in the US. (I used them once) Also saw Luke Gromen post that his local bank is not allowing on/off-ramp for exchanges. There are only a few banks left standing that provide these services. Things could get interesting real quick.

Anyone run into a problem running Electrs on Umbrel? It occasionally gets stuck on “Waiting for Bitcoin Node to finish syncing...” Restarting Electrs brings it back to 100% synced; however, when I try to query an address using Mempool, Electrs goes back to waiting to finish syncing. Thoughts?

Is it weird that I find joy listening to symphony orchestra mix on Spotify while watching new Bitcoin blocks being born on my Bitcoin node using Mempool? If not, I think we just became best friends.
