Kkk then he can consider those sats as donation :)

He doesn't answer is he even alive??

Great idea (if it was not a scam)

WTF how do I get my 1000 sats back?

Not everybody has a lot of time and energy to put into convincing merchants exactly the way you want.

Some people give tips to waiters in Bitcoin. Some others sell Bitcoin in Robosats. Some others orange-pill financial institutions or whole countries. Some others build coinjoin apps. Some others use these prepaid cards to purchase online KYC free, which indirectly benefits the Bitcoin cause.

This is a slow, messy, and totally non-linear process.

You need to stop assuming everybody sees the path to hyperbitcoinization, let alone the world, exactly like you do.

You speak as if convincing a merchant to accept Bitcoin takes a few minutes

Visa Prepaid cards you can top up with Lightning

Yes I hope that too.

In my opinion Venezuela would have a radically better standard of living if they were both U.S.-sanctioned and hyperbitcoinized. They have a lot of farmland, access to the ocean, and an insane amount of oil and other natural resources, and while international trade is limited they still have some access to it. Their real enemies are the kleptocrats in Caracas.

I think significant trading will be done in rubles much before BTC, although central banks will slowly start including BTC in their reserves.

Do you believe a sanctioned, hyperbitcoinized country would have hyperinflation?

Is this adjusted by dollar inflation too?

Misleading. One city in Brazil, not Brazil

The downside of SN: more difficult to get into fights with random internet strangers /s

Nostr + LN, it's happening

You mean debit/credit linked to a bank? If not, a better, cheaper and more flexible option would be using one of these International Visa cards you can top up with sats and KYC-free.

One of them you can get via the app from https://thebitcoincompany.com/ , I heard it works well in Brazil. You can even add it to Apple/Android Pay

Bonus: you get sats back!

Oh this is interesting: Proof of Work https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/13.md

If you'd like to expand I'm curious, how could pubkey reuse encourage spam?

Well put. Socratic assasin, that's great. Just that sometimes there is little room for a back and forth.

I did mention how the status quo is much worse by his "burning the earth" standards because obviously a "token worth nothing" for them deserves nothing else than zero emissions.

That said if mining had zero emissions they would start with the ASICs pollute the waters narrative, and so on

Besides the "what to say" I think it's important to try to meet them where they're at, with empathy (until a certain point I guess). There a several good books about persuasion.

I like that angle, like why do you have to work for money but the government does not?

Great question. I wonder if we can compile very short sentences/questions (maybe in the form of a decision tree chart) to address the why's or the FUD

Terrible advice... that's not how you persuade anyone. HFSP is something to be used as last resort

Nice! Are you going to be using NIP-04?
