Today, I've got two articles that struck me as fairly interesting:
Credit Tightens as the Money Supply Falls for Ten Months In a Row "With negative growth now falling near or below –10 percent for the sixth month in a row, money-supply contraction is the largest we've seen since the Great Depression."
Thinking outside the State "Modern minds are so oriented toward state power that people often fail to understand there is a better way. Instead of 'thinking outside the box,' we should think outside the state."

Getting people to think outside of the state as the article describes is even more difficult than getting them to adopt Bitcoin. Fortunately technologies like Bitcon and Nostr inject some freedom into their lives and hopefully get them thinking along those lines.

If the state made shoes, instead of roads, everyone would ask us "Who will make our shoes?"
The lack of imagination when it comes to thinking about a stateless society is really astonishing. Even more so when it's put side-by-side with the technological marvels accomplished by the private sector that are part of our everyday lives.

I am with you. Just saying inertia and indoctrination are hard to break.
