Since the so-called ceasefire came into effect in Gaza on October 10,
Israel has been consolidating its control of over 50% of Gaza and
—according to new research by Forensic Architecture
—physically altering the geography of the land.
Through a combination of the construction of military infrastructure alongside the destruction of existing buildings,
Israel appears to be laying the groundwork to establish a permanent presence in the majority of the Gaza Strip.

Thinking about giving to folk in #Gaza; quite complicated feelings. Firstly, we do *have* to give, and give personally, because conventional charities are not effectively getting relief to Gaza -- presumably because they are being blocked by #Israel -- and because our governments are doing nothing.

In a groundhog day loop of explaining why this hierarchical model cannot effectively be represented in the unified flat format they're trying to push. You can absolutely represent it in a flattened way, but it requires breaking out the child components into their own collection.
We end, once again, with the telling pause of disinterest and multitasking, followed by a distracted "mmm hmm" and promises to circle back on it later.

The conference is over now. I likely wouldn't have come for just a bitcoin thing, but I am very interested in redecentralizing the web, so it's attachment to the nostr day pulled me in.
Everyone I met was friendly and interesting and seems much more interested in making a better money system than in making money for themselves.
Our government and bank money systems are dysfunctional in all kinds of ways which are often less visible than they should be too people using them, especially to those in Europe and America who benefit from the way those systems exploit the global south.
I'm not convinced that fixing that would end wars and fix broken government as some seem to think, but I am sure our money is the source of many problems.
There are many bright, well meaning, and intelligent people building to improve bitcoin in fascinating ways with the hope of having a parallel system to transition to. With lots of work still to be done.
Can it work?
I'm sure I don't know, and I'm sure even if it's a better system it'll come with it's own unfairness and cruelty. Money will continue to be a source of suck and worry.
I'm told that the bigger conferences are often full of shitcoin scammers and suit wearing banksters who are in fact all in it too get rich and rip people off, but I found none of that here.
Here there is a real community of people trying to make the world a better place and improve the lives of their neighbours and governance of their countries.
And in the end building community is the most radical and effective way to change the world regardless of the problems of it's money system.
I had a great time. Thanks to those organising it.
