As Bitcoiners we know that Bitcoin is the only thing that is actually decentralized yet also as Bitcoiners we don't trust, we verify and that means battle testing our own system with adversarial thinking. What do you consider as a centraliation risk if there are any in Bitcoin and how do we mitigate those risks?

if it was the end of slavery, I already liked this post.

It was the end of a particularly horrific type of slavery. There's always more slavery to combat, though.

Curiosity: 263 years ago, in 1761, Portugal made history by becoming the first nation to abolish the slave trade within its borders (although the trade continued in its colonies). This landmark decision granted freedom to any enslaved individuals who entered Portuguese territory. It marked a significant step towards the eventual abolition of slavery.

The photo shows the original document that outlawed slavery. As for the handwriting, we still learn to write in this style in school, but then everyone develops their own unique handwriting. :)

I didn't know Portugal was first, but that was the norm for European colonial powers. Out of sight, out of mind.
