kind of funny to see bitcoin take off when a central gov. buys in :) 

 I recall in the early 70s, the rise of psycho-active drugs like thorazine, enabled the hospitals to empty out the mentally ill. It was the beginning of widespread homelessness and crime as these folks weren’t really healthy. Sad. The thorazine took the edge off the more violent patients. 

 The equities markets are also predictors and currently seem to be betting on Trump.

 there are other ways to solve it, what’s lacking is political will. 

Bitcoin is not the answer, as bitcoin is worth nothing, it has no value. 

 Hi Lyn,

Not sure what you mean by:

"In other words, Nostr separates the client layer from the public domain communication protocol layer for social media, in a similar (and even more thorough) way that webmail clients separate the client layer from the SMTP public domain communication protocol layer for email.”

In what sense is it more thorough?

It’s a great read, thanks!

 lol, definitely something I would do.
