 Alright nostr I’m out for a bit. Need an electronics/social media/news detox. Need to get some positive vibes in my life right now. ✌️ 
 How can you vote for a man that went after  Snowden, assange and Ross? Just so you he can pump your bags? What happened to standing on principle? #Bitcoin 
 Everyone is free to do what they want but if someone wants to vote I would suggest voting for a third party candidate.

Personally I believe the less we participate in the system, the less legitimacy they have. Imagine if voting participation drops to 15%-20%. Can the government legitimately say that they represent the will of the people? 

When is the last time voting fixed anything in the last 15 years? 
 True that! 
 How do you know he won’t just stab you in the back? He is all about the dollar and power at the end do the day. 
 I’m not. 
 Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? …But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.” (Luke 6, verses 46, 49) 
 🇮🇱 = 🇷🇺. They are doing the same thing. Genocide is Genocide regardless of who is doing it and who the victims are. #nostr 
 They are indiscriminately killing innocent people. It is the same. 
 They have a lot of time on their hands! 
 I've watched almost all this lectures. 

So so interesting and well researched.

 He seems to know his stuff and it’s always enlightening for sure! His videos pop up on my feed all feed all the time 
 It’s very depressing and really hurts my soul to see people killed like this. Shows the inhumanity of the IDF and their government in general. They have exposed themselves as power hungry and callous to the Palestinians. I’m frustrated that our tax dollars are being used to fund this and like you said I feel powerless to do anything about it. 

I hope I didn’t bring you down too much. I’ll probably refrain from posting more videos like that, just wanted to get people on here to think about other stuff than Bitcoin. Love Bitcoin but trying to start convos on other topics as well. 
 Elections don’t really matter? It’s all a dog and pony show. #Bitcoin #nostr

 Right?! I feel the same way 
 Even if that’s true it doesn’t give them the right to do what they are doing TODAY. The Palestinians have property rights that were violated when Israel was created. Until that issue is settled the fighting will never end. 
 His name is Dr. Roy Casagrande. I found this short on YouTube 
 Not sure where the full video is at 
 Thanks for sharing! I’ll check it out 
 41k dead. 
 Fuck #Israel. 🇮🇱Free Palestine 🇵🇸 if you watch the videos out of #Gaza. They are horrific. 
 You ever just sit there and think "Wow."

We have money that's separate from state, and means of ... 
 All the time 
 I miss those days!! 
 After reading this would you vote for him?

 As a Bitcoiner how can you vote for Trump or Harris when the Libertarian party has a candidate that clearly sees the issue of money printing as the problem. 

#Trump and Harris are socialists to the core. Hard pass for me.

 Nice, I was the same way, after learning more about him I’m voting form him at least it shows there is support for 3rd party candidates. 
 GM!! Have a great weekend ya”ll! 
 What an absolute cunt. At what point is violence appropriate for somebody whose entire purpose is... 
 For real, right? How can he sue BTC core? It’s not an organization? Who is he trying to sue exactly? What a dickhead. 
 American weapons make this tragedy possible.

 Are you cool with your tax dollars killing 40k people in Gaza in one year? Voting for either party continues this genocide. 
 Or vote third party 
 At least you can rest your head easy at night knowing you didn’t consent for more death and destruction. Protest vote at the very least. I don’t buy the lesser of two evils narrative 
 I’m not sure, this is from Chase Oliver website. His platform is anti war it seems. Better than voting for Trump or Harris when it comes to war. https://image.nostr.build/69cf57b2f6787143797b963eb9a4d201309ba3ae07f6346076cbfc98baeeacd5.jpg  
 When it’s time, how will you resist?

As all freedom fighters before us have, resistance will b... 
 Pew pew pew 
 58k BTC? Yes please! 
 Same! 
 Is 1 life worth voting against your beliefs?

Trump has pledged to release Ross from jail if he is elected.

Trump is a staunch supporter of Israel and will keep supplying weapons them weapons to kill thousands more people. 

Do you vote for Trump and free Ross or vote third party/not vote and not lend you consent to war crimes overseas? 

This is a moral dilemma. What are your thoughts on this? 
 58k baby let’s gooooo 😂😂😂 
 Out of curiosity, does anyone else ever have narrators in their dreams?

My dreams are weird, par... 
 If I did he would sound like Morgan freeman lol 😂 
 Really!? That’s crazy! Have you always had a narrator in your dreams? Like since childhood or is this a recent phenomenon?

 Who wants super apps anyway? Never liked the concept 
 58k gang back in business? 
 My wife was trying to put pants on the 4yo, he starts fighting back yelling Communism 😂😂... 
 No way! That’s funny as hell! Well done! 
 😂😂😂😂 
 Uptober kinda sucks right now lol.. 
 Right!! Great time to accumulate more sats I suppose 
 Really? 😂😂 that’s hilarious 
 That’s a good way of putting it 😂😂 
 Israel is doing to the Palestinians what Nazi Germany did to them. 
 Exactly, they worship at the alter of the State and forget any of their religious values/teachings. How could God be ok with wish they are doing to their fellow man. 
 This is what your tax dollars are paying for in #Israel. This documentary made me sick to my stomach. How Israel treats Palestinians people isn’t right and looks like the Jim Crow South. Very disturbing. The world needs to wake up to what is going on in that country. If you have time please watch and share! #palestine
