This country is fiat. It has to change to get to where you want it to go or be.

El Salvador needs investment. Banking, wallets with micro loans, ETF's, VC's, business intermediaries, business consolidators, all these types investors would be welcomed to jumpstart the business growth in this wonderful and ready to go country.
Most businesses are microbusinesses that need microloans to help with cash flow to pay for inventory. A forward thinking business would do well here. Repayment can be daily, thru transactions, through point of sale software, or streaming payments, all are valid. Think outside the box and try it out. These business owners need your business.

I believe there is a path for every socieconomic level to have bitcoin through saving and earning bitcoin (not just buying outright) while spending fiat. There are tools available that need to be promoted to those in harsher economic situations. Education is key.

Stunning. Not sure why i'm surprised the banking industry is set up in this way.

My daughter was homeschooled for several years but is now at a life and leadership focused school that was a great fit for her. My wife still runs the homeschool association - a 1,000 family homeschool group. We are building a Bitcoin/Financial Literacy curriculum specifically for homeschool families, part of the Bitcoin Outreach and Education Group education curriculum, https://boegroup.org
Homeschool was a blessing and provided a constant education of real-world skills. It takes dedication on both the parent and student to make the most of the experience. But it is proven that homeschool kids do well in life.

what nostr extension for chrome is private, but also allows for multiple profiles for nsec?

I got sucked down a NextDoor app thread (the one website I truly despise because of ALL the complaining) when I saw some, ahem, complaining about paying $0.75 in fees for cash back at the self-checkout at Harris Teeter.
There are many thoughts running around in my head on this from it's a private business and it can do what it wants and you can vote with your wallet and go elsewhere (or just not use the service).
But then I saw some other complaints about high costs, and no employees to help bag and tote groceries for older customers.
Both of these symptoms (high prices & no employees) are a direct result of our money crisis (and it is a crisis) - we print so much freaking money and have devalued our purchasing power so much that prices go sky high, wages do not keep up, and a concept called Competency Crisis kicks in (written about by Axel Raven - X:@FinancialPhys ). It's a concept of not allowing people to live a life of quality from their earnings when working jobs that are not considered top tier jobs - the entry level jobs, the dirty jobs. Society needs these jobs filled and in time past, the pay these people received would be enough to allow them to overlook the type of job they are doing as their reward, their pay, would allow them to do other things that might be rewarding to them. Now, these folks doing these jobs are not having the commensurate reward for their work, and may have multiple jobs to keep up, or may just exit the system altogether ala shades of Atlas Shrugged. Why do a job that doesn't add to my quality of life? This is due to the financial debasement occurring breaking down the division of labor, not from companies being greedy, and not paying a 'living wage' to their employees. This topic has come up on several podcasts I've listened to lately including X:@tftc21 as well as the symptoms of the concept talked about but not named directly by X:@nataliebrunell interviewing X:@nikkiglaser . Nikki speaks of young comics today still earning the rate that was earned by comics in the 1980's. Or servers at restaurants having five roommates just to get by on server wages and tips.
I was a server as a young adult - I know how it is. Being broke, couch surfing, hoping your car doesn't breakdown when you can barely afford gas does not need to be a right of passage to adulthood.
The money is broken.
#Bitcoin fixes this.

so tech issues abound... tried to zap with Blue and it failed with some network errors, tried to zap with Zeus, it failed because the invoice expired (it had only been 30 seconds), tried again with Zeus and it worked. My point, not sure, just don't give up...

Looks like I can’t see my own posts from multiple clients (hamstr on Linux, damus on iPad) with the same keys. But I can see responses from people to those posts but without context since I can’t see the original post on a different client. This will take some getting used to…
