500 Would you give this economic model for a small UBI for all citizens a read please. It’s not an income replacement, rather an enhancement for all. Something to smooth over the transition AI is going to cause. Your critical eye would be welcome. Cheers. WTF

2.7k Well, since you asked, I listen to everything at 2.5x to 3x+, depending on who is talking. You guys are a 2.5-2.75x. Guy Swann is more like 3x+. Some audiobooks are as low as 2x.
But its not pleasant listening below 2x anymore.

500 My Canadian tradfi bank is now offering e-transfer to 73 countries. I only tested sending to the US and for 100$ CAD fees were waved and exchange was within 1% of posted. Have we broken the Western Union model?

500 Could we answer the incentivization question something like this; every fiat dollar you save increases the wealth of a far richer class of nepo baby, birthvlottery winner, and every sat you stack increases the value of someone else’s stack and your own equally.

500 Shower thought: not knowing what’s under the hood requires trust, trust of institutions is in the shitter, crypto is the Wild West of shitcoinery, Bitcoin fosters trust, average users and freedom tech freaks will gravitate towards the trusted protocol, in time Bitcoin wins. Keep on keeping on.

500 Have you done a deep dive into the Bitcoin Whole Life product offered my Meanwhile.bm ? You were talking about tiertiary Bitcoin products. How about life insurance? Paid for in Bitcoin, paid out in Bitcoin, loans can be taken against your policy in BTC. Hmmm :-)
