Bitcoin does present a possible solution to the monetary woes of Argentina.

Mileis election signals a growing awareness that central bankers are just scammers and getting off the gold standard was one of the biggest mistakes humanity ever made.

It still works for me, It's a PDF though so maybe something with your browser settings.

Did you read the report I linked?

For anyone who is interested here is a report from Fidelity that provides a fairly concise analysis of Bitcoin and it's value proposition.

I encourage everyone to take the time to read at least the first few pages, I think you'll be surprised by what you find.

I'm glad you put the effort in, it's the only way humanity can improve upon itself.

I agree with what you've said and think this graphic agrees with you as well. I don't believe it implies that violence should be used against the intolerant but rather that action should be taken to remedy intolerance.

However I do see what you mean, as it's phrasing doesn't preclude violence either and could be further refined to highlight that point.

There's a lot of technical answers being proposed but you really need to keep in mind your target audience. Do they actually care how it works at all, or are they less technically minded.

Take the email comparison, it makes an excellent example for people who know how email works but most people don't know so it's not helpful as a comparison to them.

For the layman it's probably best to stick to a simple description, such as: The Fediverse is community organized social media, it works the same as Reddit/Twitter but it's not owned by any company. There are a few extra steps when you first sign up, but it's well worth it for the extra control you get.

So far I've found it too be great. Currently using Wallet of Satoshi, which was super easy to set up. Payments are pretty much instant and haven't had any problems at all.

For now I'm just using it to throw people some sats on nostr for good content, but I'm sure my usage will grow as adoption continues.

In February of 2013, theymos, a mod for /r/Bitcoin, requested submissions for an advertisement for the subreddit. That day, mavensbot submitted a MSPaint illustration of a wizard with the caption, "Bitcoin Magic Internet Money".

"Skull of Satoshi" (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Void_Sloth to c/bitcoin
 

The Skull of Satoshi created by art activist Benjamin Von Wong.

This phenomenal sculpture was quickly adopted by the bitcoin community taking on new meaning, and becoming an inspiration for those who aim to make the world a better place through the use of sound money.
