Coincidence of Wants vs Coincidence of Banks
In the past, people would exchange one good for another, such as wheat for salt. The problem with this extremely siloed transaction was that both parties had to run into the coincidence that they both needed what the other had at that precise moment in time. No intermediaries and no delays, it was an analog peer-to-peer transaction where commodities were the ultimate form of money.
Money has improved since then in terms of how it’s transacted and how it moves, but it’s not even close to what it could be. Today, in order for money to move faster and more efficiently, financial institutions come together to credit and debit money for their clients. The best coincidence to move money is when both parties work with the same bank. This however is not the norm, leading to intermediation, higher costs, delays and plenty of other inefficiencies that we all have come to accept as normal.
By leveraging the Bitcoin and Lightning Network protocols, institutions can remove these inefficiencies and transform the coincidence into certainty. An institution in Europe denominated in Euros would be able to interact with an institution in Latin America denominated in Pesos as if they were one and the same. Their end users would retain the traditional fiat experience they are used to but would benefit from a better, cheaper and instant service. Finally, credit risk would be removed from the system as every transaction would be sent and settled simultaneously and instantly.

haha the story is much more complicated than that
first of all, "hell" was actually the caldera of the volcano on Tenerife, the greeks called it Tartarus, and it was the ultimate punishment for a criminal in those days, to be tossed into that hot rock soup
"angels" were the most trained and educated of a civilisation that existed across northwest africa, in the regions we know now as mauritania and morocco, and they had some hard core mind tech stuff going on, i mean like telepathy and teleportation and shit
not only that, they had gravity sussed, and by about 8000 years ago they were able to leave the planet and search the outer spirals nearby in the region of Taurus where they have colonised many places
in the period between Adam and Abraham (12-6k years ago) they had a lot of business with us humans, and they are a different subspecies, like the differences of homo erectus and homo sapiens, well, these were something else, they were taller, had white skin, red/blonde hair, and loved bbq and milk
this is where all the "burnt offerings" stuff originated, it was the usual thing to offer up to esteemed guests like the Angels
mostly, in fact, the angels were only seen looking like hobos dressed in dirty clothes and looking messy, and saying strange things that turned out later to be true, like how to survive an impending disaster
now, getting to the subject, "satan" was the leader of a rebellion that the Greeks called the Titanomachy (war of the titans) and the hebrews and middle eastern contemporaries of the humans around the region of the middle east where Adam was born originally, called it the "war in heaven" - this was a civil war in this advanced civilisation where the majority had graduated to become angels, this 1/3rd faction wanted to treat other human species as cattle (sound familiar?) and this was forbidden and a whole big war erupted over this to drive them out
the scumbags, including their leader, Chronos, or Satan or Lucifer or whatever name, and his gang of liars, cannibals and perverts fled in a clockwise direction around the continent of africa and landed in the red sea and with their superior technology and science, pretended to be gods and enslaved all the poor brown people of the region, this started around 8000 years ago, and they taught the brown people beer, growing wheat and barley, and acclimatised them to being slaves and taxing their income and making them an unwitting fodder for their bloodthirsty cult of cannibalism and rape and torture, which they used to maintain their power
gradually these individuals were forced to breed a bit with the lower sapiens and erectus and over the last 8000 years their genetics have declined but it's no coincidence that all the power brokers of modern society are mostly white, and this they use now as a fale gambit to pretend that someone other than their white toxic fallen angel genetic heritage was causing all this violence and war and bullshit
there is probably a few almost purebloods among them left but the thing was about what happened 6500 years ago in the event that was recounted as the Tower of Babel and Sodom and Gomorrah - this was a similar time as we are coming up to now, where the earth's field is crossed by the rotation of the galactic field and our planet is subjected to extremely high levels of energy input from the sun and the galaxy and there is always a massive amount of people dying of floods, earthquakes, wars, starvation, floods, cold and volcanoes, to the point where even it happened long time ago, around 75000 years ago, where only 5000 humans even survived at all (this was before the pale skinned milk drinking north africans first appeared)
that's the best i can make of all the data i have found, and continue to gather, and the main thing is that the people who built the pyramids, most of them, and the sphinx, they left behind all these writings by their favourite guy Enoch whose texts survived despite being almost purged, surviving only in central africa, and are gradually being "unsealed" as per what John the Prophet relates in Revelation, the so-called "apocrypha" or hidden scriptures
anyhow, there's more where that came from just opening up the little bit that gives you the intro

The best way to find your true self is to serve something greater than yourself.
Every morning, I reflect on where I'm currently at, knowing I'll dearly miss these times when they are over. During the day, I'm preparing for the near future by coding, testing, and playing with tech. For a developer, there is no time like when you are fully focused and excited about what you're contributing to. I honestly can't wait for deployment and release.
And then at night, when the parties start... my God. This is what Uncle has been training for his whole life. There is something genius about destroying and losing yourself without limits.
The people around me are the biggest part of the experience. It's fulfilling to work with those I genuinely respect for their skills and what they bring to the table. And when you party with people that have known you for your whole life and still love you... it impossible not to be in a good place.
Bitcoin has had a profound impact by curating my surroundings. It has both connected and disconnected me from individuals. It has given me specific goals, forcing me to do things I wouldn't otherwise do. Sometimes it was extremely challenging, as my entire being was rebelling against taking certain actions. However, upon reflection, I realized there was no choice.
Either I serve as committed, or I don't. And serving has brought me here. To moments like this, where I feel compelled to capture the enjoyment and gratitude I feel and share it as a beacon for others.
Serve Bitcoin, and it will serve you. ✊🗽

I now have 2 frens IRL who are starting their Bitcoin journey.
One is going too fast for their experience, the other is seeing all the traditional negative pointers we have learned to understand and accept.
For both of them, I am giving the same information, but delivered in very different ways.
While doing this, I am self aware enough to realise I could be seen by them and others, very much as a preacher, cult leader or a snake oil salesman.
We are in a cult and normies see this.
The realisation is that everything is a cult; politics, traditional media, the law, geographical borders, gender, age. Everything……
Choose your cult.

К сожалению, не сумел найти текст Ги Дебора с критикой концепции личного автомобиля как основного средства передвижения.
Он говорит о том, что ставка на личный автомобиль создаёт в городе места отчуждения. Короче говоря, людей не интересует маршрут, который они преодолевают на автомобиле, а потому эта территория не будет развиваться.
Отличным примером здесь оказывается Невский проспект. Шесть полос движения, запрет на парковку и узкие тротуары: городские власти сделали из главной улицы города сквозную автомобильную магистраль. В результате, на весь проспект нет ни одного знакоаого предприятия. Я слышал, что цена аренды торговых площадей на Невском проспекте не выше, чем в любом торговом комплексе в спальном районе.
