Just recalled this btw. This was a total pirate radio transmission in my youth. Then came the open air raves and then the club scene (Acid etc) followed by fixed address setups with a dash of Frankie Knuckles / Ministry of Sound stuff. Man I feel old now…

Definitely an element of clique-ness. Americans dominate, but 💯 the Canadians are pretty cool. Less self-centred. Needs more Brits as well as other nations here. As more of an outsider looking in, the take is very US-centric, almost as if they don’t realise there are others on this planet. A generalisation though of course.

When the politicians latch on to a programme or film, it certainly becomes a moral panic. The post office debacle is another example - took a television production to raise more awareness and for actual political action to happen. Sad. Personally, I also blame elements of social media for the breakdown of society especially with how it affects children and young adults. I could be biased but childhood definitely felt more innocent and wholesome before the advent of the internet and social media - a desire to be noticed and to become famous etc just seems to have escalated.

Yep it’s always the useful idiots. And is why propaganda works so well. They will shift their savings into EU SIU stocks and shares savings vehicles on the promise of better returns (which might be true) but they won’t realise they will be indirectly funding the European Commission and the Council of the European Union. I hope they see through it all and shift their savings into Bitcoin instead.

Pay has been shit for so long in so many jobs it’s an utter joke now. What’s the national UK average these days? I think it’s changed only by a few thousand pounds in the last 20 years or so when it should be 3x more if it were to match the cost of living/rent/house prices etc. Bonkers.

A lot of “the vision” is described in the pdf below:
I like to think of it all as the EU trying to emulate the US and its economy (i.e. a United States of Europe). But it’s not going to work well - too many differences between the countries in the EU).

No worries. Been following this since its public consultation. Gut feeling is that it’s going to be a mess to implement across each country (local
nuances in tax regs etc). But wouldn’t be surprised if the EU CBDC, coming in October 2025, is used to implement the SIU under the banner of “convenience”.

No, savings that sit in a bog-standard savings account do very little other than fund banks so they can make money (fractional reserve shenanigans etc) while you make virtually no interest and have no say where and how your money is being used. The context here is being lost somewhat. What this is, is the EU’s attempt at getting savers to invest their savings into stocks and shares of EU companies and startups etc supposedly to help growth and improve returns for the consumer compared to leaving their money sitting in a savings account. Very much like a Stocks and Shares ISA we have in the UK as well as pension products (or like a 401k in the US). The EU citizen will have the choice to save in these products or not and perhaps which stocks/shares their money enters. I say better to buy Bitcoin instead in order to retain ultimate control over your money.

💯 - it’s also a great way to reach and teach the masses. It has a psychological effect too. Once people see merchants listing bitcoin as an option it’s like a subconscious affirmation that it’s here to stay and accepted. And when the Amazons and Apples of this world list paying with bitcoin/lightning as an option, it’s confirmation that it’s real and safe - almost like a stamp of approval for the previous naysayers. Needs to happen.

If the client itself disables likes then yes that’s a restriction. But if a user decides to turn likes off or on for their own notes, surely that’s their choice. The reader can still reply, zap, etc.
