What makes you the most optimistic right now? Whether that's Bitcoin or something else, I'm curious what makes you excited in the world right now?
Mine is the new attention to the fragility if our power grids, discovering mushrooms that can eat plastic, UFO disclosure stuff, and Kratom shaking up the industry of painkillers & opiates - potentially hundreds of thousands or millions of people could be saved by using Kratom to quit/replace/ween off opiates to detox more easily.
Psychedelic drug research makes me optimistic for the next 2 decades in regards to mental health approaches/treatments.
Bitcoin, obviously.. everything is exciting with Bitcoin. But Nostr coming along at breakneck speed with more clients & functions is massively optimistic for communication technology and human freedom.
Keet, Holepunch, "web5" technologies is insanely interesting, still learning what I can.
And lastly, the fact that the fiat currency scam is becoming more mainstream - I hear the words "fiat currency" a LOT now even among normal people, let alone all the politicians making that distinction.
