Interesting signal. Am in Spain trying to sell an old gold bar I had left with a friend as don't trust attempting to fly out of the country. Wanted to swap for some coins but looks like I will probably sell for bitcoin which is fine by me. The signal is something else though. I can buy small gold bars here. I cannot find coins. Theres simply none available... zero! Also bitcoin p2p here is really usurious compared to Costa Rica. I have zero hope for Europe. Good luck is all I can say!

Is the presence of options and futures really compatible with the idea of a free market? 🤔

Weirdest attempt to orange pill last night. Literally agreeing with what I say right to last minute and then saying "its interesting to meet someone I disagree with on everything." Just could see beyond "only the state can deal with societal issues, they're too big" Statism, centralisation and dependency infrastructures are mind viruses in UK that create extreme mental model barriers. Fascinating human psychology. Even trying first principles with basic logic seems to be unconciously pushed back against. How can so many people lose faith in individual endeavour and collaboration. Bizarre

GM! After many conversations in uk, seems main concern about using bitcoin is capital gains tax. Who’s building the screw government circular economy with self custody here?
