Mutual confidence is promoted and good neighborliness cultivated. Hence men do not regard as parents only their own parents nor do they treat as children only their own children. Provision is secured for the aged till death, employment for the able bodied and the means of growing up for the young. Helpless widows and widowers, orphans and the lonely as well as the sick and disabled are well cared for. Men have their respective occupations and women their homes. They do not like to see wealth lying idle, yet they do not keep it for their own gratification. They despise indolence, yet they do not use their energies for their own benefit. In this way, selfish schemingās are repressed, and robbers, thieves and other lawless men no longer exist, and there is no need for people to shut their outer doors. This is the Great Harmony.ā https://cdn.nostr.build/i/5a73a6f02c2cd2da2f10baeb0c022fe1f2405936d4f83e3daf3135150166d265.jpg npub1aghw7r6nrz3wgx44cz2r9wteepx8yht6fau7wjhdqgqn6eyd35eqpm54zr aaron https://cdn.nostr.build/i/b0008a7b32fe10e839f5b4ae19ae25c2517c21b5775b1526e9ff7b03c18d3893.jpg npub1aghw7r6nrz3wgx44cz2r9wteepx8yht6fau7wjhdqgqn6eyd35eqpm54zr aaron haha! he luckily promoted the assumption that the government does not equal the country (people) and that the government should serve the country rather than the country serving the government npub1aghw7r6nrz3wgx44cz2r9wteepx8yht6fau7wjhdqgqn6eyd35eqpm54zr aaron here comes the š« for the bookmark button standard npub1aghw7r6nrz3wgx44cz2r9wteepx8yht6fau7wjhdqgqn6eyd35eqpm54zr aaron āFor my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen as the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perch'd on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.

It is DEFINITIVELY why I struggle/d with these concepts too. We seem to have a hard time learning about something that feels more logical although it goes against what weāre all taught and thus believe so itās hard to have these beliefs clash and have to be humble enough to admit that having these conflicting belief systems is discomforting for anyone elseā¦ including ourselves. Not an attackā¦ just a reflection. npub1aghw7r6nrz3wgx44cz2r9wteepx8yht6fau7wjhdqgqn6eyd35eqpm54zr aaron A complex subject for sure! Especially since bitcoin is - like Nostr - cross platform. You might be āspending bitcoinā that you bought on Strike for $65k (capital loss) or you might be spending bitcoin on Strike that you acquired off Strike for cheaper years ago (capital gain). There are incentives for the wallet apps to try to build tax optimized optimization software for their internal transactions, but there are also reasons why the wallets should let more optimized software empower the user to select the bitcoin that is being spent based on other economic activity (potential intrinsic desire to offset capital gains or losses from other asset classes with the same year.) Most importantly, since itās a clusterfuck currently we should be petitioning our governments to have no tax benefits/penalties on commodity losses/gains (especially on transactional level payments up to x amount equivalent in fiat) to attract money to your nation and become more prosperous going forward. npub1aghw7r6nrz3wgx44cz2r9wteepx8yht6fau7wjhdqgqn6eyd35eqpm54zr aaron ššš npub1aghw7r6nrz3wgx44cz2r9wteepx8yht6fau7wjhdqgqn6eyd35eqpm54zr aaron #CognitiveDissonance npub1aghw7r6nrz3wgx44cz2r9wteepx8yht6fau7wjhdqgqn6eyd35eqpm54zr aaron āAfter Coca-Cola president Robert Woodruff's plan to mint a 7.5 cent coin failed, Business Weekly reported Coke prices as high as 6, 7, and 10 cents, around the country.
