I think most people concerned with monetary inflation don't realize how little most people care about monetary inflation. What they care about is consumer price inflation (the cost of butter, gasoline, meat) and asset price inflation (the cost of housing, mostly, as people need homes to live in).
Consumer price inflation and asset price inflation can be accelerated by monetary price inflation, but the normies are right to associate the sudden, disturbing jumps and falls in prices to supply/demand shocks, and _not_ to overall monetary inflation. That is why central banks fiddling with interest rates has no effect on the price of gasoline at the station; that price is taxes, fees, fracking licenses, and supply interruptions, not the national debt or the interest on 10-year bunds.

My mum lives over there, I know that place 😂
I would say that if it were legally possible, and people were informed that many people would prefer Swiss Francs, Omani Rial, or Pounds over Dollars but the main reason The Dollar wins is because of liquidity, and force.
Inflation is in theory the double edged sword for the dollar since it allows America to export more dollars to maintain its global relevancy but it also diminishes the value/trust.
Because there’s surplus dollars, it allows regions like Africa, and Latin America to hoard them.
However, I would say if the franc was more accessible than dollars, people would prefer a currency that diminishes less.
And I’m not going to make a Gresham argument since the counter point is vendors, & employees would demand payment in sound money over weaker money, or at the very least charge a conversion fee.
Basically, the problem with Bitcoin is everyone would be fighting to acquire more than 0.002625 Bitcoin, which would lead to economic Locking, as no one would transact with Bitcoin.
Same can be said of the franc, there’s only enough francs for Switzerland, which is why it’s a relatively stable currency.
Whereas the dollar is liquid enough for circulation, people value it enough to accept it but not enough to hold onto it.
That's because most people use cash money primarily as a currency (trading token) and measure, not as a savings vehicle. As long as the value of the money stays relatively stable over the course of a couple of months, it works fine as a currency. You just have to spend it within those months.
Most people and businesses scrape by, from month to month, so they just don't really give a shit about inflation unless it goes above 50% per annum or so.

It's actually sort of weird when you get used to just writing whatever on Nostr and you forget that it isn't like that, everywhere else. Everywhere else is a weird place, now.
Besides when I work on nostr, I don’t work on nostr because it’s the most technically stubborn and difficult to get to work correctly thing I’ve worked on.
Everything else just works. But the distributed nature of nostr makes it difficult to work with.
Yes, you can vibe an app in a prompt. But if you want something to work reliably, nostr always puts up a fight. In some ways it’s the opposite of what it promises.
Even the so called pro devs here cannot make something truly reliable. The moment I test it a bunch of stuff doesn’t work. And the typical response is: oh well you gotta turn this knob, pull that lever twice and then say a prayer while clapping turned away from the full moon.
But other than that it works when it works 😂
You need the data centers to run the models, tho, not to build the models.

Yeah, there is this username function that allow to use it without sharing is phone number, so you could get a separate SIM number for registering Signal and other apps that is not the same as for communicating.
But this username is not like a long term identity, it can be changed anf lost forever and possibility takeover by someone else (as I understand).
Best app without phone number, without account, without central server is Briar. There is also Threema, Simple X or even a lot of nostr based messenger app.
But the problem of any messenger app without contact discovery via phone number is that adoption stays extremely low. You must actively coordinate with each contact to decide on the app to use and share your username/session keys to start communicating.
Who is doing that anymore ? Long ago is the time of AIM, MSN messenger and ICQ where people who do such effort to continue communicating online. Now people want thing to work our of the box, suggest contacts to them and stays where they are most attracted by the most adicitve algorithm.

How did you find out what my leisure pursuits are while I’m on the Island? 😂
i love women😊, how can any man still just not want them all the time.

They've just been effectively forced to admit that they can't do it.

I’ll say it’s the second one.
4:00 minutes in of the fourth clip explains pretty well.
I think people prefer analog over digital.
And even if we lived in a society where people like digital over analog, they would collateralized tools instead, like onegold, etc.
Even if we ignore Monero, I think even conventional gold beats Bitcoin too from a SoV, and stability angle.
More people know gold, most of our history was built on it.
Bitcoin is only around for 17 years, or 0.0057% of human history, whereas gold has been around for 2,600 years, or about 1% of human history.
Most people’s opsec model doesn’t include the state, and even if it did I think they have Swiss Bank Accounts, and other mechanisms (besides Monero) to help launder funds out of the country, etc.

📰 **Nostr’s Quiet Takeover: Why Block, AI Agents, and a Flood of New NIPs Just Changed Everything**
✍️ by NM team
Nostr isn't just a Twitter clone. Block turned it into its own AI communication layer. Ten new NIPs just shipped. But here's what nobody's telling you: when AI agents coordinate on a protocol where you can't buy attention, the next six months will decide everything. Read on

Well, relay.tools got some funding, way back in the day, and that runs TheForest. And my #Imwald is a hard-fork off of Jumble.
But it gets pretty thin, beyond that. I'm alpha-testing #Cordn, for messaging, but I don't think they have funding. Amethyst/Citrine/Amber, maybe? 🤔

It’s happened plenty of times before.
Most notably in Germany after a new government took over.

Why do Africans, and Latin America use U.S. Dollars?
People use stable currencies with reliable, and predictable prices.
The Euro being an important currency of modern economic trade would be a top contender for replacing the U.S. Dollar, and inflation shocks would be absorbed more easily as it would be dispersed more globally than locally like the U.S.
For example, how Greece’s economy fell apart but countries like Germany essentially forced Austerity onto them, to keep global trade stable.

There is no scenario in which anyone needs Bitcoin.
If Hyperinflation Happened, everyone would use Yuan, Euros, Pesos, Gold, Francs, or The New Dollar.
If society collapsed people would use gold, silver, food, ammo, alcohol, medical supplies, or barter, etc.
If The United States was invaded by China, people would use The Yuan.
Hell, even in Bitcoin’s peak regulatory clarity, and adoption phase people use altcoins drastically more than Bitcoin.

“It is not necessary to use violence to suppress any uprising. Methods like Hitler’s are outdated. It is enough to create a form of collective conditioning so powerful that the mere thought of rebellion no longer crosses people’s minds.
We will broadcast massive amounts of entertainment programs on television that appeal solely to emotions or instincts. People’s minds will be occupied with useless or frivolous things.
Thinking can be blocked by constant chatter and music. We will place sexuality at the forefront of human interests. There is no better social sedative. In general, we will shape things so that the seriousness of existence disappears.
Everything of value will be ridiculed, while frivolity and superficiality will be promoted, so that public euphoria becomes the measure of human happiness and the model for freedom. This conditioning will lead to such profound integration that the only fear we need to maintain will be exclusion from the system. Any doctrine that calls this into question must be labeled as subversive and terrorist, and those who support it will then be treated as terrorists.
The ideal would be to train people from birth by restricting their innate biological abilities. After that, the conditioning would continue by drastically reducing their education and limiting it to the acquisition of vocational skills. People would be conditioned from an early age to think and want only what the system dictates.
They would be distracted with a constant stream of entertainment and consumerism so that they would never even think of questioning the system. “The perfect dictatorship would be one in which the slaves are slaves without knowing it, and yet still feel free.” Günter Anders, 1956
