We are all slaves to these platforms. Working for free while they sell our work and our data to advertisers.
At least you have earned something for your time on here. I would like to ask, how many posts over how much time?

If there were only 13 transactions, then why pay a fee? There was no competition to be in the block

That is great news. So good that he is doing things for the community. More decentralisation is a very good thing for the mining network.

I like the idea that 90% of the planet gets paid by the network rather than swapping their fiat into it.
There is a bit of a survivorship bias problem with the idea that those who use Lightning are not complaining about it. If they didn't like it, then they probably wouldn't be using it.
I agree though, almost all the people who don't use are not using it because they haven't taken the time to understand.

Appreciate it! That was the intention behind the post.
The scene is small, but productive. A few projects focused mainly around education for the youth.
Very few merchants accepting, but the guys I’ve met are deep-down the rabbit hole. Passionate bitcoiners. A few self-mining, acquiring hardware from Argentina.
Many of them new to Nostr and SN, so I think there’s plenty of potential to bootstrap and kick the Spanish-speaking community into action. Too many using crappy Telegram. Work to be done, so come on down… you’ll be welcomed!
We are going to be there end of December and early Jan. It would be good to connect. You can DM me on npub1md39ua3h2s7204a7v5p9sdxmxx9qc7m4kr3r6naeuwfznad6d7nsxpctp9

Great post. I would like to move there myself.
What is the Bitcoiner scene like?

That is only 1%. The general bitcoin public seem entirely unbothered by the situation.
Does Binance have $4bn in company funds?

The delayed effects of interest rate rises are going to be impacting over the next year. How can people and companies go on spending with this level of debt and this level of interest rates?

I am in El Salvador right now. I can't attest to the cost of living on a more permanent basis as I have only been here for two holiday.
I can tell you that it is safer than most American cities. They have done an amazing job of cleaning up the streets and imprisoning the gangs.
