09:38:36 <mj-xmr> Hi, I will join the meeting on Saturday.
09:44:24 <mj-xmr> (the next Sat. that is)
13:29:51 <binaryFate> gingeropolous: yep sorry. should be back on Monday
14:01:39 <msvb-lab> Reminder that today Saturday 3 July we have our thirteenth village staff meeting on #monero-events, to plan our Defcon 29 (4-8 August 2021 in Las Vegas) appearance. It's a public meeting that anyone can attend, see the agenda https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/586/
14:25:05 <gingeropolous> we've got a long way to go. https://old.reddit.com/r/Documentaries/comments/oco4ti/soldiers_in_hiding_1985_a_grim_portrait_of/h3wxxjh/
14:28:21 <nioc> oh my
14:31:13 <gingeropolous> yeah. a conversation about how tbtp waged a pointless war and poisoned millions, and then these jaded mfers can't see the writing on the wall that a revolution is at hand
15:04:12 <Lyza> things weren't exactly awesome when we were on the gold standard, but I reckon now the difference is that money has to compete in a marketplace against other monies
15:05:01 <Lyza> I guess that's always been somewhat true, but the accessibility of crypto to common people changes the game
15:53:11 <bevanoff[m]> “common people” - people that just aren’t interested in it?
16:00:37 <bevanoff[m]> or the tech-illiterate?
16:09:19 <bevanoff[m]> I’d think there’s a lot of intersection between those groups?
22:38:38 <geonic> there were no pointless wars during the gold standard?
22:42:04 <kinghat[m]> for sure the last time congress authorized a war
22:50:27 <geonic> never bought into the argument that Bitcoin (or Monero) solves wars btw.. if the implication is that it does that by starving the government and generally making money more scarce then it makes poverty worse, roads worse, education worse, healthcare worse, etc.
