500 Good morning sir, in regards to El Salvador, I had a fantastic teacher who warned me, “Numbers are suspect.” Anyone can manipulate numbers to their end. Citing a 1% adoption “nationwide” throws shade on the 8-10% (totally making this number up) of adoption within the geographical limits of the developing circular economies. In your opinion which of those two is not significant?

500 Could we answer the incentivization question something like this; every fiat dollar you save increases the wealth of a far richer class of nepo baby, birthvlottery winner, and every sat you stack increases the value of someone else’s stack and your own equally.

500 Shower thought: not knowing what’s under the hood requires trust, trust of institutions is in the shitter, crypto is the Wild West of shitcoinery, Bitcoin fosters trust, average users and freedom tech freaks will gravitate towards the trusted protocol, in time Bitcoin wins. Keep on keeping on.

500 When we were in Mexico for a while we saw farm growing pepper plants, and amongst the plants were these leantos of 2 flat boards creating an A-frame. They were just tall enough for a chicken to get out of the blazing sun while it Waited for the next juicy bug to come along and try to eat the pepper plant leaves.

500 Would you give this economic model for a small UBI for all citizens a read please. It’s not an income replacement, rather an enhancement for all. Something to smooth over the transition AI is going to cause. Your critical eye would be welcome. Cheers. WTF
