I'm almost always driving when listening. On side note I actually had to use Tether today to pay a lawyer in Argentina.

I appreciate you calling out the cheap tricks of journalism: bias, gPT, subtle (or not so subtle) pursuation…the traditional media is hypnotizing the masses.

Is there any monetary uses for OP Returns ? I know everyone always brings up JPEGs but, could Knots be filtering out non-spamy transactions too ?

@npub1rxysxnjkh… Nathan did an excellent job with this interview. Simply cannot have enough reminders of the corruption and evil of the Covid regime

The quantum threat is the biggest obstacle between my dad and the orange pill. I’m sadly not intelligent enough to ease his concerns. What say you about the QC uncertainty?

    Wow how fast two hours can pass :D interesting to hear how @npub1gdu7w6l6w… got into Bitcoin and how his perspective and position towards it changed. I would not go in line with everyone being stupid not understanding things right away, it’s what people grew up with and were told. But overall definitely time well spend! Could even shared with friends and family to help them grasp the benefits that come with hard money
