 The two balls used in the first ever World Cup Final, contested between Argentina and Uruguay in 1930. Only thirteen teams competed in the tournament, including just four from Europe, due to the difficulties of traveling to South America in the midst of The Great Depression. The United States would place third, recording the first hat trick and the first shutout in World Cup history along the way. https://image.nostr.build/d9adad7f4e51b031ff78d91fcb220bba1427a0e08b50b80271452e3bfa9dc3d4.jpg https://image.nostr.build/7573564d32419e125e17d9ab86466f38890cfe22df9c184831ea7d669832d506.jpg

 an interesting passage from the recent IMF paper, A Primer on Bitcoin Cross-Border Flows: Measurement and Drivers https://image.nostr.build/1298e2645a3baf2f5eaf4a94bd945d13b2ccfc7a9d6f8880f267c7940957f34a.jpg  
 even fiat money has its own type of scarcity. that is why the corruption of it is powerful enough to fuck the world, because of its perceived scarcity. only when that perception is rightly shattered, as it was with rai stones and shells and the paipermark, can we move on to the next paradigm. will it be #bitcoin ? and how will that paradigm be shattered? 
 hearing lots of grumbling about taxes (from both sides) and what they're going towards... Overton window seems to be shifting 
 Hear ye! Hear ye! Pussy is like money, all flows to the top. Yea, verily, do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
