 Had casual chit chat with a retired couple at a lunch spot. 

They were Canadians and moved to Mexico two years ago. They would have moved to the US if it wasn’t for “all the Trump supporters and all the confederate flags seen around” 😂 

I’ve been to the US many times and never seen either. 

I just smiled, nodded, and left soon after. 
 I get that you’re likely to see them in some corners of the country, but you can’t judge an entire nation based on that. It’s a very ignorant take imh 
 I bet they’ve seen one in a random place and made the call: ALL Americans are bigots and I can’t live there. 🙄 
 I don’t know enough about it tbh, but I do know it’s often misunderstood. 
 Exactly! If we all had that same thought process, we wouldn’t get very far in life. 
 I can’t help but laugh at those ridiculous opinions. 
 Am I the only one with a man who thinks more about Bitcoin than the Roman Empire? 
 I hope the same for other bitcoin ladies 😆 
 Yesss! 🙌 This is what I wanted to hear. Keep up the DCAing, fam 🧡

 That’s always the case 😅 
 What started on a basketball court with a bitcoin t-shirt, lead to a cafe owner deciding to accept bitcoin, which eventually turned into a weekly #Bitcoin  meetup spot. 

I love this community 🧡 https://image.nostr.build/1512ccc18e7e523850354caaa1f05c939dfdbfc52a3b6b492c6c1b374b13a013.png  
 Literally. Some of the guys play ball weekly! 😄 
 My dad is wearing a Bitcoin shirt and hat on the cruise ship he just got on. Lol. 

Orange pillin... 
 Your dad sounds based! Reminds me of my FIL. 

Good job on orange pilling him! 
 👋 hi 
 Hi pretty lady! 👋 
 Bitcoin is a great way to get called an idiot and a genius by your friends and family on a predic... 
 😂😂😂😂 this couldn’t be more accurate 
 Anyone here that has experience sending money to Argentina via Strike? 
 I’d much rather use sats too, but I don’t know how the receiver could then convert them without an exchange. No place to use them locally either. 
 Trying to figure it out 
 We’re both dealing with victims of inflation, I see. 
 Thank you! Seems like Bitso, from what I can see. Will keep looking! 
 I feel sorry for the people who don’t have bitcoiner friends to hang out on a regular basis. 

I hang out with them more often than with my normie friends 😅 
 Gotta find a local meetup or at least attend a conference. It’s worth it! 
 Plebs gotta stay close with fellow plebs 🧡 
 Find a local meetup or maybe even start one! Or attend a conference! It’s worth it 😊 
 Find a local meetup or maybe even start one! Or attend a conference! Hanging out with normies too much isn’t healthy 😆
