I encourage everyone to check out the Monetary Justice website, and to share it with anybody who expresses concern about the current state of the U.S. economy.
https://monetaryjustice.org
By @npub1e87…pe6p
What’s the gist?
The site argues that financial institutions have partnered with the federal government to devise a monetary system that allows both parties to exploit the American people. While this is not news to bitcoiners who have spent countless hours learning about the monetary system, the Monetary Justice site makes it easy for anybody to grasp this concept in ten minutes or less. I think the simplicity of its message has the potential to wake up a lot of people.
It proposes a framework that essentially asserts that all modern repressive monetary systems have these five characteristics in common:
1) Currency Creation
2) Currency Inflation
3) Currency Compulsion
4) Currency Confinement
5) Currency Control
To institutionalize an exploitative monetary system, federal politicians, in cooperation with the banking sector, have codified these five repressive characteristics into law (the site lists these laws). And while each law on its own may be constitutional, taken together they are indicative of something called cumulative unconstitutionality. According to the site, “Cumulative unconstitutionality refers to the concept that a series of individually constitutional laws or policies can collectively become unconstitutional when their combined effect infringes on fundamental rights or violates constitutional principles."
The case is made that the monetary system is unjust and unconstitutional, and that Americans should neither abide nor accept it. Rather, we should use our greatest strengths to peaceably, but actively, resist and reform it. Those strengths are a federalized government with independent state governments (which are also unduly burdened by current monetary policy), and a constitution that exists to prevent the federal government from encroaching on citizens’ rights to life, liberty, property, speech, and self-governance; all of which are diminished by the U.S. federal monetary system.
The whole site right now is only about 4 pages, so the whole thing can be read in one quick pass. 100% worth it, IMO.
If you think more people should hear about this, be sure to mention it to your favorite content creators who might appreciate the suggestion.

Another question I have is this: How is it that regulations governing money (money transmitter licenses, aml, kyc, etc.) are being applied to something that is classified as property in the U.S.? I’m sure there’s a loophole that allows the federal government to have its cake and eat it too. I’m just curious what that loophole is.

Quick question for the scholars… Why were the states not able to prevent the confiscation of their residents’ gold in 1933? Trying to grok the proposed self custody law in Missouri.

The @npub1hcw…h9rq team found a way to give Lightning users the features and experience we desired. In order to provide that experience they had to make technical tradeoffs which introduced counter party and regulatory risks. But they set the bar for UX nonetheless.
The Lightning protocol needs to evolve to a point where such tradeoffs aren’t necessary, and some really smart people are working hard to make that a reality.
I’m a fan of this team. When things get sorted, I’ll gladly return. 🤜🤛

Same on both accounts. Neither are nearly good enough to allow for a proliferation of micro services. Extensions are complicated, device specific, and limit the user’s choice of browser (esp. on mobile). Nsec bunker is literally a cli tool. Haha. It’s awesome, but it isn’t going to usher in an era of easily and safely portable accounts. Imo, we don’t get micro services proliferation or main stream adoption until we solve the account portability problem in a secure and decentralized way. To me it remains the most strategically important problem to solve in terms of growing the protocol’s user base and application base. It’s no easy but to crack.

This is an awesome wallet. One of my favs. You’re doing an absolute bang up job. 🙌
Blending the parts I like about all of your options…
Redeem Ecash
Paste & redeem Ecash from your clipboard.
Check Messages
Check your Nostr messages for incoming Ecash.
Top Up
Add Ecash to your wallet via Lightning.
I kind of think making a call and being consistent with the terms “Ecash” and “Cashu tokens” will help keep things clear for the user.
For instance, if the cashu token represents Ecash, then call it Ecash. If it represents a ticket, then call it a ticket. Etc.
I don’t think icons are necessary. The redeem icon causes friction for me bc I wonder if I’m downloading something.
Whatever you do, please don’t call it “The Nostr”. 😅 “Check your The Nostr messages…” 🤣
All just opinions… 🤙🫂🫡

2023-10-24 16:54:59 UTC

Thinking about tickets on Nostr:
An Ecash based ticket might be the best option vs introducing another Kind.
1) An Ecash ticket would be private (which is very important imo)
2) It would be a bearer asset. Something you own and can transfer to others out of band. Just like a physical ticket.
Ecash for sats is awesome. I’m all about it. But Ecash can do other things Lightning can’t do, and that has me very excited about #Cashu.
The more I dig into Cashu, the more impressed and appreciative I am for the work @npub12rv…85vg and others have done. 💜 Chaumian Ecash is gonna be a big deal.

Last night we ordered dinner to go from one of our favorite family owned restaurants. I asked the cashier where they were from and she said El Salvador. I smiled really big and asked if they were going to accept Bitcoin. She smiled big back and said, “I wish!” I told her that I would pay in Bitcoin and would help her set that up if they wanted.
A little bit later I asked her, wearing my best poker face, how she felt about Bukele. She drew a deep breath and her eyes immediately teared up, “I LOVE him. He has done so many good things for El Salvador and for us here too.” I got chills.
So guys… I need a hand. I’m aware of Ibex Mercado and BTCPay server. I’ll also be looking into ZapRight. Are there other point of sale systems worth considering for a small mom and pop shop that already has a primary PoS? Which system would you recommend for a very limited budget, little to no on staff tech expertise, and probably not a lot of Bitcoin sales.

It's good that we're addressing the elephant in the room. Instead of a handful of organizations having access to our behavioral data, everyone in the world has it. Advertisers are the least of our concern. We are a very inconvenient subculture for many oppressive regimes intent on defending currency coercion rather than embracing monetary volunteerism. Our data could easily be used to create aggregate behavioral models to inform repressive strategies. That's the black pill I've been choking down for months now.
BUT... Life counts most when it is lived out loud. This is our opportunity to make our presence known with cryptographic proof that there were many of us who were on the right side of history. Nostr is the first sovereign settlement in cyber space. We have a boundless and borderless territory. We have voluntarily chosen money. We have culture. We have passionate builders and contributors. Afaic, the job is to build Zion for the awakened. The asleep have FB, Insta, X, YouTube, MSM, etc. If you want to be surrounded by them, go there. That's what they're into. But today this frontier is ours. It is purposeful. And any who find value in what it has to offer are welcome. To me, the size of the population is less important than the passion each of us brings. I'd take any one of you over 100 normies. 💜

Definitely possible. But it’s also possible that the lack of an engagement farming algo, a sense of personal ownership in what is essentially a digital settlement of infinite size, emerging economic opportunities which require cooperation, and a base level culture of good vibes could result in more civil behavior. People argue. That’s not going away and it shouldn’t. But I pop into X for five minutes and I wanna take a shower. 😂 Maybe this moment in time is lightning in a bottle and the goodness can’t scale. But it would be pretty rad if it could.
