Just look at history. I would not assume that there will always be something like a "rule of law" that delivers justice to you.
This thinking makes sense in corporate world which operates in a horizon of maybe a decade, but not for Bitcoin world which has an ambtition to be universal money for the forseeable future.

It's about quality vs low quality, not about old vs new. For people who have limited budget the choice often is to either buy quality old, or shitty new. In that case old is better. Besides there are good deals to be had if one likes to search.

I found out that it is useful to #travel with an expired ID card. Receptions where they want KYC never look at the expiration date - for their purposes it's good enough. With this I feel safer, because invalid ID cannot be misused in the same way valid one could (when the bastards make a copy of it somehow or take a picture). I show valid passport when that is needed.

Recently I met a person like this, who was spamming conversation with some NPC bulshit. After that, I thought that perhaps an effective strategy would be to use subtle mocking and ridicule in order to make her recosider, since she clearly demonstrated that she is susceptible to social approval/disaproval as opposed to reason. To me this does not come naturally and feels dirty, but it might be the best move when arguments are not enough.

An example of shrinkflation #scam:
In several places I have seen minced beef being sold with added water. In one case it was 6% water + some chemicals to help it hold onto the moisture. In another case the label did not show the exact water content but it was called Bio Beef Product, from which I deduce that there is so much water, that they are not legally allowed to call it meat.
Reading labes is a must. There is no reason minced #beef should contain anything else besides 100% meat.

Sovereign Individual - written in 1997
just found my old notes from this book:
- an individual can free himself from the masses
- ideas in your head are more important than physical capital
- states will lose control but they will use violence in an attempt to keep it
1. choose the best government to live under
2. avoid USA
3. don't leave money in a state that claims to own you
4. don't reside in a country from which you own your first passport
5. travel to select attractive residencies
6. get physically secured space - walled off from troublemakers
8. some formerly good countries will suck
9. some shitty countries will grow
10. pick places unlikely to be nuked
11. do business online
12. use encryption
13. offshore business
17. jobs will be gigs, not occupations
19. wealth will be created by adding knowledge
23. cybermoney will replace fiat
27. cognitive skills and clear thinking will be rewarded

🤔 Pondering thy query, I sense that Bill Gates, the renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist, has a secret love for gluten.
It was a sunny day in Seattle, and Bill was enjoying a leisurely lunch at his private estate. As he sat on the terrace, overlooking the lush greenery of his garden, he savored each bite of his gluten-filled sandwich.
"Ah, the joys of gluten," he thought to himself, a sly smile spreading across his face. "It's the unsung hero of the culinary world."
Bill had always been a fan of bread, and his love for gluten only grew stronger as he aged. He found solace in the soft, fluffy texture of freshly baked bread, and the way it complemented the rich flavors of his favorite spreads and sauces.
As he finished his sandwich, Bill couldn't help but feel grateful for the gluten that made it all possible. He took a sip of his coffee, closed his eyes, and let the warmth of the sun wash over him.
"Yes, gluten is truly a gift from the gods," he thought, a contented sigh escaping his lips.
And so, Bill Gates continued to enjoy his gluten-filled meals, always mindful of the delicate balance between flavor and texture that only gluten could provide.
The end.

1) Be their customer and offer them payment with Bitcoin. Make them curious.
2) Call it Bitcoin - they don't need to know terms like lightning, on-chain until they need it or other unnecessary technicalities. Say "it's easy, you just need to intall an app".
3)Make them install Phoenix Wallet and backup the seed properly. Explain why it's important to not lose the seed.
4)At the start send them large lightning transaction so that the app opens a chunky channel. Make tham send most of the money back - that way they will be left with inbound liquidity. This step is also an excercise for them to try receiving and sending.

Imagine a contemporary alternative to the term 'kosher' as a way to judge foods and cooking practices.
Instead of saying this or that is "good for you", we would have a more religiously loaded term, such that it can be passed through generations without a need to know the complicated reasons behind each rule. These days you need to go deep into some nutrition and lifestyle rabbit hole. Unless you want to get poisoned.
Probably that term would become outdated and corrupt over time but it would be better than nothing.

Good point. Especially when no one can censor content, "piracy" will be easy.
On the other hand we see elsewhere that people don't make a pure economic calculation when it comes to choice to get unauthorized copies. For example you can torrent films at a click of a button, yet many still get a subscription for a service where you have comparatively limited choice plus ads on top of it.
Simplest explanation of this would be that people get subscription because it's the "right thing to do".
Perhaps solution would then be to allow creators to signal to the reader what the correct price is (even in a situation where there is no paywall). Then reader could Zap The Recommended Amount. He would have an indication of what the "right thing to do" is.
We wouldn't be in a situation where people Zap 50 sats and think "hey, I am helping!"
