How much time do you do on active language study these days Joe and are you working on multiple langs at once or focusing on, say, Spanish at the mo?
I am trying to improve my Portuguese which sucks. My spanish is stagnating. My French is always best. Then i try random new languages coz i get a kick out of it!

Yo thanks for linking to my post. They still manage to use bitcoin lightning up in the Andes, but the internet is just crap :)
lightning does not need a lot of internet
Yep, a lot. Some people have called me out for the 'white saviour' bs. It's like, dude i'm a journalist—i like doing this all over the world and i'm not doing it for internet points or likes on fb lol.
I've lived in the ivory coast, trinidad and tobago, serbia, france, spain, mexico, south africa... i've lived in a lot of random countries and people will stil be like "how dare you make content with locals." I don't understand it but after a while you have to learn to ignore it.
I always try to speak local languages, be as respectful as possible, and try to walk in other people's shoes— and i try to avoid the stupid "white person saviour " trope but people will also be butthurt coz idk, i guess it's the internet.
I think about it a lot and sometimes worry about it but ultimately it comes down to: challenge my work, not my skin colour or where i come from. i literally can't help it or change it.
That's very kind! But for every cool shirt i wear there are 3 outfits that make me look very silly.
Also i just like colourful, loud clothing. In a space where it's mostly black and codey-chic, it probably sticks out!
I enjoy seeing how folks are using bitcoin around the world. I feel you are hastening adoption by documenting this.
Thank you!!
like 20 minutes to an hour a day. Probably a bit too much tbh.
I love it and i also find it can be a time sink. Much like twitter but you don't get annoyed / ragey with nostr! Thank God!
