I really liked this video as a money primer for normies. It does briefly mention Bitcoin but isn't explicitly pro bitcoin. You won't feel propagandized to when you watch this video.
Anyone have any good candidates for escaping?
sigh.... There's a reason this image resonates so much

Doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me? Some of these guys probably just want to show their discontent with the party, exert their influence, and/or angle for concessions

imo, we've already crossed the peak of inflated expectations but haven't yet crossed the trough of disillusionment.
LLMs are amazing for certain tasks, and they're gonna be world changing, but it's not some existential threat, nor will it solve all the world's problems, as some would seem to believe
Yes this is what I would recommend as well. It's very clear and engaging and a nice introduction to the economic way of thought. Dispels a lot of common misconceptions that people have about economics
but how will they stop individuals from holding their own private keys and using the bitcoin network directly?
I don't know when, but im more interested in how they will attack self custody and whether or not the attack would be successful
If you want the freedom to starve yourself, others shouldn't pay for your medical care if you pass out and a hospital tries to revive you
I personally don't think we can ever have an entirely free market for health care because most people are not morally willing to let people who can't afford health care die (or even suffer, much) because they can't afford it
Sorry to hear you're going through this.
After reading through their FAQ, I am convinced that even though we might want to support a bitcoin circular economy, this isn't the way to do it. These are basically services that offer a bitcoin layer on top of the traditional financial system, that's why you're running into the issues you're running into. That isn't what we want to support. We want to support a bitcoin-as-foundation circular economy, with at most some horizontal piping between the bitcoin and fiat systems
I'd follow @optimism's advice. Just do the KYC, get your money out, then never use their service again and let people know your experience.
Freedom is bad when people are bad.
Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other
Is that even real or is it just outrage porn material? I don't trust the authenticity of anything on the internet these days.
Personally i've never been to a gender reveal party and I think it's a bit of a silly idea, but not something I'd rebel against as long as people stay classy and don't go overboard with it.
