I fully agree with you. A political class that doesn't want to give up its chair, its power. To the citizens the crumbs.. and the taxes to pay.

I know, but I can't be consistently present in October. Next month.👍

In fact, even when talking about satoshi as a group of people, male characters are always suggested.

I'm out this month, but I won't miss the participants and will give my support.👍

We can say that if our generation faces all these problems today, the boomer grandparents' generation was partly to blame. We are left with a huge public debt, skyrocketing living costs and wages that do not match the times we live in. Clearly I'm generalising, but European countries are going through this phase, my country, Italy, too.

Come on, I didn't jeopardise my privacy.😄

One should always remember this teaching. Sometimes when life or people hurt us, it'ss difficult to remain true to oneself. But it's wrong to change one's essence because of the actions of others. Perhaps it's precisely in those moments that growing up and remaining ourselves makes all the difference.

OMG, 0.83 for my country! How sad, but then again, things haven't been going well for us for too many years. I'll have to change countries sooner or later, either UK or Indonesia.. 😜

It's true that the world economy is not doing so well, especially in the West. With fiat currencies, there are always cycles of inflation, rising public debts, and policies that don't help, so house prices fly and wages stand still.

As for growing countries, I can think of a few in Asia like Vietnam and India are growing a lot: they have become important centres for technology and manufacturing, with young people pushing the economy.

Unfortunately there are still wars in the world today, we are not evolving in this respect.

However I think like you, fiat currencies certainly have something to do with these problems. That is why Bitcoin will be the long term way out of this global scenario. Bitcoin can'tt be manipulated by governments or central banks, it's a decentralised and transparent network and offers a more stable form of store of value. It takes time but everyone will figure it out sooner or later..

Fortunately, the American system has much more robust checks and balances than ancient Rome, and we all know how Caesar ended. I think that for the past 30 years in all Western countries, we’ve taken democracy for granted. But democracy is a fragile system that must be protected, especially in these times of deep inequalities. While Trump has shown authoritarian tendencies, there is still strong institutional, media, and social opposition that can limit his power. It is definitely worrying that populist and authoritarian figures like Trump are gaining ground in politics, especially in countries where democracy has never been questioned. These populist and authoritarian movements thrive when people disconnect from politics. But I have the answer: we have a short memory, or we don't study our past history!

I focus on independence, simplicity, and time. Here's my formula:

Bitcoin = (Income ÷ Expenses) + Time

Achieving financial freedom by exiting the traditional system thanks to Bitcoin, managing income and expenses wisely, and focusing on what we truly need to live well. Less is more, we don't have to jump through hoops just to survive. Above all, we gain the most precious thing: time.

Or.. those poor slaves on a leash have food and safe shelter.

Human beings have always demonstrated their inhumanity. The discouraging thing is that unfortunately this still happens today.

Fortunately, there are people working hard to improve the situation for animals, and I hope this trend continues to grow! I firmly believe that education and exposure to new behavior models can make a significant difference. Unfortunately, in places where living conditions are tough, there is often a lack of empathy towards animals. It’s a shame, because every life deserves respect and care.

Bruce Springsteen – Hungry Heart - 1980

A pop twist on Springsteen's usual rock style, but who doesn't love this song?

It has even been called one of the best pop songs since The Beatles by Lennon himself, shortly before his tragic end.
