Wondering where the next three largest bitcoin circular economies will be? My guess is Argentina, Uruguay and Peru.

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 10 Jul

I don't think so. Argentina for example is plagued with shitcoin tether use. For arentinians is very hard to get away from "dollar-mindset" and after so many years of shitcoinization will be hard for them.

Uruguay and Peru ? How many merchants they have that already accept BTC? A Bitcoin circular economy start with merchants not with speculation. Start with people paid in BTC.

And all this start with good education and knowledge about how to use Bitcoin. Just go on any of these places and ask on the street random people if they are willing to be paid in BTC for doing x or y work. Or go to any shop and ask "can I pay in BTC?" The majority will say they prefer USDT.

I know what you mean. There are few people who argue well (as in seeking truth rather than victory).

43 sats \ 1 reply \ @kepford 9 Jul

Its absurd to argue towards victory since it is often subjective. You can have an argument with someone and both believe you won.

56 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 9 Jul

In a good faith argument, I'm usually trying to resolve the disagreement. That means identifying the underlying source of the disagreement.

Sometimes that's an objective empirical fact or point of logic and sometimes it's a subjective preference or value. When it's the former, one of us changes their mind. When it's the later, we understand each other a little better.

Ceramic water filter used to be pretty common in Brazil when I was younger (I don't see many nowadays). If you ever come across one of those definitely try it out (it gives water a very "earthish" taste).

how to know? Is quite simple: don't speak up when you do not have any knowledge about that "something".

Nowadays many people have "opinions" on everything, without any grain of knowledge. Opinions are NOT truth or facts. Are just "feelings".

I used a speakly 30 days, my arytmetic score is a 30 points in a day. 30 points = +/- 45 minutes spend time in a lerning language. The suma is a 22.5 hours on this app. Sometimes I used a other metods for example I watch on the YouTube a Mark Tilbury chanel because I like watching films a self-motivation and building a financial cussions. I chose a Mark Tilbury films because his video is a more thematics similary to the films Pankracy on a Polish YouTube (my National language) and I understand Mark from video but not for a subtitels and audio. For this films I get a minimal used grammar in practice, vocabulary and understand language from hear. The third metod is a writing messeges by me in a English servers in Discord. Sorry, if I generate a scared in a lost motivation to the learning English because I understand than you have a hope that I learn English.

not sure I should comment on this, but why are parents putting their kids with the internet so much? #601481 online learning is fun and cool, but not sure is it a good idea for the eyes since this young age?

what I would love to do is probably spend more time with the kids in nature and show him / her how things work, e.g., how silk is being made and where cotton comes from, etc, and learning languages and problem-solving but with real-life samples, I feel digital skills can come later on, but ofc I could be wrong. 👀 this is paper parenting talk.

77 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 9 Jul

Fair point. We definitely try to balance the online learning with off line learning as well. Because the kids are homeschooled they get to try many different programs platforms but also have a lot of free time to read books and do other non screen related activities.

My daughter especially, who is only 5, only does 2 hours of online lessons a day. My son, who is 13, is definitely online a lot more.

54 sats \ 2 replies \ @Melisa 9 Jul

I agree that in the early years of their lives, children should be more connected with nature, with the environment they live in, and be active in games and physical human interactions, rather than being stuck in front of a screen, in my opinion.

However, nowadays this is becoming more and more difficult. Parents, who should be more involved with their children, are busy working long hours and have very little time to spend with their children.

Public vs Public

It is a mistake to assume what the word “public” means; there are in fact two definitions.

Common law Public: Open to everyone equally, common knowledge to all, common land with freedom and rights intact. The opposite of private.
State Public: Entering into a private corporation, under maritime law. Property rights and freedom lost. Under private contract control, yet with a loss in privacy.

Because the people behind government require your consent to act upon you, and fully realise they cannot do anything to you on common land, as this would be unlawful, they need to pull you back into the private to impose their regulations.

In short, you leave the safety of your own private dominion; you enter into the common law definition of the public, and then are tricked into entering into a pseudo-public, which is another private jurisdiction, under the control of someone else.

Entering into the “common land public”, is going public, entering into “state public”, is becoming public.

You have entered into the jurisdiction of the state.

part of: Lux's Pills - A Comprehensive Set of Truths

200 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 10 Jul

In addition to this (very good pill) I will add a distinction between types of "common law":

common law : a law common to all, lex loci aka law of the place, oral tradition based on customs, morals & ethics
Common Law : or British common law, not always friend of the people, plenty of atrocities committed under it, sometimes case law based on previous precedents
The Common Law : a codified version of common law, often found in acts of parliament and constitutions, serving as alibi, give citizens subjects an impression of common law; sometimes criminal matters in civil law jurisdiction will be subject to The Common Law, due to lack of statutes and/or their regulations.

I know that many times we do not pay attention to how we write words, but in case you want to specify clearly which common law, is good to know these details.
