Today has been a very instructive day for me. Thanks to @undisciplined I have had access to economic information that has opened my eyes even more about how the government monopoly on the creation and management of money harms society, how money is imposed, even with death threats, and a phrase has left its mark on me:
"When money stops working, everything becomes political and a farce."
Nothing better said. The knowledge I have acquired today thanks to these magnificent suggestions has provided tools and arguments to help others learn about and adopt Bitcoin not only as a means of payment, but rather as a means of freeing themselves from the slavery to which we are subjected.
reply
I’m glad you liked that line so much. It’s a nice way to convey the important philosophical point that society can either be organized voluntarily (functional money) or coercively (politics). There is no third way, and we know which of the two is preferable.
reply
Both articles have been very helpful to me. Thank you.
I have shared them with interested friends and will use them for my purpose of educating about Bitcoin and the need for its adoption.

People will say they don't use XYZ because it doesn't do ABC but it's often more simple than that. We usually aren't single feature customers. More often, the source of defections are along the lines of:
  1. lack of value
  2. contradictory habits
  3. peer pressure/influence
I'm sure there are others, but (3) is maybe the most difficult to solve for because it's largely unconscious and we are motivated to deny it as a "thing."

How did it go yesterday? VERY well. I enjoyed the break from work and took advantage of it to study and share on SN.
Today the work week started, so I'll be a bit busy at work, but what will happen when it's over? The answer is simple: Study and share on SN.
We'll see the news that predominate and the hottest debates. But we're sure to learn a lot from everyone's comments.

@Undisciplined reminded me that I have been experimenting with living in Bitcoin for two years ( still a baby compared with darthcoin ), and wow, how time flies! what I can share more is not only about earning and paying things in sats, it's also about getting the knowledge and needing less from outside - the point is you can choose services but not depend on it, but now most people are default relying on everything outside because buying with one click is so much easier, but the reality is even you are willing to pay you are not necessarily getting the solution that's good for you.
Fiat world teaches us to make more money then you can offer the "best" of everything, while it is about learning how things actually work, go natural / less human intervention in the Bitcoin world.

That's very wise. It's probably more of a character issue than intelligence.

Defund the Police

Various groups and movements have called for the “defunding of the police”, and are promoted heavily by many main stream media outlets and publications.
However this is an orchestrated propaganda psyop set up to manipulate the general public to move in the opposite direction.
A “psyop” is short for the phrase Psychological Operation or Warfare, which is the term given to the action of government’s influencing the perceptions and attitudes of an individual or group, often foreign but become increasingly domestic.
Based on the ill-conceived and incorrect assumption that the police deal in law, and are there to “protect the people”; most individuals consider defunding the police a bad idea.
Usually based on the left-right divide, people who are unable to critically think and cannot see the deception are easily persuaded to go against the opposing side.
This results in the refunding of the police, which often includes them being granted more “powers” given to them by government.
Note: the amount of political power is dependent on the number of brainwashed slaves.
The truth is the police have no authority, nor does the government, but people with a slave mentality have just given away theirs.
Note: it should also be noted that from the earliest conception of the police, they have been working with organised crime. The “criminals” create the “problem”; the police are there to “solve” the “problem”.
The police, courts, lawyers and “criminals” are all working together against you for money.
It is a scam and a racket, design to generate billions in revenue while simultaneously suppressing the poor and weak, referred to as the “citizen” or “slave to the system”.
If you think you are safe by giving away your sovereignty, rights and authority to another, you never will be.

A friend thinks the "defund the police" movement is actually the federal government's incentives acting to disarm local LEOs so that we move to a federal police force and can't defend ourselves from oligarch overreach.

This reminded me of the day I almost started running away from undercover cops. They stopped their car next to me, stepped out and looked at me in a way I knew they were trouble. It was also in a part of town known for more crime. I started walking faster and crossed a corner and almost started running but then I heard "Police! Stop!" from behind and I indeed stopped. They wanted to search my bag and I didn't resist because I didn't want any trouble, had nothing to hide and was still trusting authority. I should have at least asked for their ID though.
But how could a civilian recognize a fake ID from a real one anyway if they have never seen one before?
Also, anyone can shout "Police! Stop!".
