When it comes to money, bitcoin is unstoppable money. Meaning, no middleman can stop you from sending money from the Philippines to the North Pole. Because: it is an open protocol. You can use any wallet (Blink, CoopPay, Muun, etc.), it will work the same way whether you are in the US or in Antartica.

When it comes to social media, nostr is unstoppable social media. Meaning, no middleman can stop you from getting your message out. Because: it is an open protocol. You can use any app (Damus, Primal, Iris, etc), it will work the same way, i.e.

If you say, "I love coops" in Damus, if you log in with your secret key in Primal, you will see the same exact message, "I love you coops" (and not, "I hate coops" or "I love corps")

These are parallels that I'm eager to move on to now that CoopPay is so close to hatching. There's this explosion of tools for freedom that I'd like to be part of cooperative education/training. I put the download links here: https://web.facebook.com/lyman.official.

I also put Keet, which is an unstoppable version of Zoom.

I also put Kantree by "digicoop," which is not unstoppable, but an example of a tech platform product that cooperatives can make.

eFishery (Indonesia) gives me a lot 1Coop Marketplace vibes.

What can't cooperatives do?

What can't bitcoin do?

When lies bring you truth.

Be a masterful, masterless rōnin.

The Philippines quietly making firsts in bitcoin.

Be broken to be reforged, from fire to flame.

Be like water.
