Yep (pic is not from our phone - but we had the same model and same trendy pale yellow 70's style colouring).
All the numbers in our suburb where 4 or 5 digit.
Also had the big heavy physical printed paper phone books with everyone's address and number laying next to it 😄

In Germany that was still pretty much the standard until the mid-90s.
One of the beauties I grew up with.

Would love to read!
Your podcast back in the day brought some regular inspiration.
Our farming operation set off this month as well.

This seems guaranteed once the flywheel goes into the other direction.

Highly agreed.
People would like to see everything just "going their way" without doing any work for it to make it to bring it about.
It is a comforting thought... but also not a very realistic one.
If you want to move the world closer to the direction of your liking, you must put in the work.
And with that said:
It will always be a small minority who are active players and shape the world around us, have an impact rather than remaining on the passenger seat of life.
It's those we must connect with and focus on rather than some blurry vision of "mass adoption" (which is mostly driven by NGU fantasies).
We have 2024.
Everybody has heard about Bitcoin by now and if they're still not on board, they might just not be the people who are ready & well-qualified to be part of an impactful minority.

Enjoy Frankfurt & its local cuisine, the local Bitcoin meetup @BTCFFM still going strong there.
They got to get a bit more active on here though :-)

The difference of life in Germany vs South East Asia in a single note.
Do you do things how "they ought to be" (high on ideology)
...or do you do things that work in reality to get the results desired (high on pragmatism).
And somehow the pragmatists always seem so much happier than the ideologues ( constant mental pain from the gap between the world in their mind vs the world right in front of them).

If history shows us anything, then that the 51% moderates will anyway fall in line rather quick with whatever narrative is the prevailing one at any given time.
And the fight for the control of the narrative are between small groups of the organized few.

The non-autist part of the population (the majority) operates on emotions and feelings, not rationality, logic and facts.
Failing to "sell" one's ideas might not make them less valid, but certainly less impactful.

There are still gems of content on Twitter/X, but they are basically invisible.
Even though I go to their timeline ~once a week to check out some of their latest thoughts, they will never show in my TL.
From my usage it should be pretty clear that I like to see more of their stuff, alas... they won't ever show up unless I specifically go to their profile.
"The Algo will just show you more of what you already like!" - yeah, no.
If 50% of my time on that app is spend on specific profiles and they never show up on the general TL... - seems off.
The "monetizers" otoh adjust their poasting behaviour all to chime in on the "current thing" of the day.
The psychological warfare & mind control tools are certainly becoming much more refined and subtile.

"And so Baby Boomers had like a 3.5 worker-to-retiree ratio to support in their peak earnings years, while Millennials will have more like a 2.5 worker-to-retiree ratio or less to deal with. " //
I certainly vividly remember how, in our later high school years, during the "Social Studies" class, we were presented with very similar formulas for the German social security system.
The math simply did not seem to check out.
It just didn't make sense "what the adults were trying to tell us".
It did not square.
When a few of us inquired about it, the teacher didn’t have any satisfying answers. (Well, duh—he’d been on the Ponzi train long enough to know that it would work out for *him* as long as a sufficient number of people kept paying into the system for the next 20-30 years.)
We were presented with all these rosy words and theories about how great Germany is because "everybody is taken care of."
But when you looked at the cold, hard numbers, it seemed evident that a cold, hard stop would follow - and that our generation would bear the brunt.
That specific day never got out of my head.
A severe seed of doubt had been planted.

Looking to compile a short list of paid/private relays to recommend.
Nostr without the use of paid relays is painfully slow - which makes the initial experience quite off-putting to most.
Which relays do you utilize and why?
#relay #paidrelay

And on that note:
If you are seriously into Nostr and are based in #Saigon and/or #Vietnam - feel free to reach out, looking to gather the community here further.

Vietnam's uptake on Nostr has been slow compared to e.g. neighbouring Thailand - but I am starting to become increasingly bullish that we'll get out of the starting blocks within the next year.
We'll look to do our part.

Hopeful sign.
A talk of Saylor on Bitcoin who has thought long & deep about the matter is certainly of much more value to the audience.
