Imagine being able to help people all around the world with zaps. No currency exchange, no government restrictions, no barriers. Just helping people in need instantly. Donations that are actually directly sent to who needs it.

If y’all are interested in that sort of thing you should check out DonorSee. Similar idea in mind, give people the ability to see the need and more immediately render the resources. No plans to integrate w NOSTR/BTC yet as far as I’m aware, but at the least an interesting project to learn from. The creator just recently passed but he wrote a book about the story behind it called “If the Poor Were Next Door” https://apps.apple.com/us/app/donorsee/id1093861994

I lost all my contacts on Twitter and took a long break from social networks. They would not even recognize me here because I am using my real identity. But in order for us to organize the first one, we had to teach by phone landline how to use mercadopago to some people who never touched a computer. For explaining zats, LN, BTC, and how to convert that into pesos...that's going to be fucking hard. Unless some president in the future declares bitcoin as legal tender in this country, which won't happen ever because the government feeds on everyone like a big parasite with the FIAT infection in all of our lives. I don't see how they would ever make it easier for the people to become financially free and use btc and ln without so many barriers.

Please report all cross border payments to your local government overlords. Build back better
You make great points. The path to freedom is a hard one. What I posted may only be a pipe dream, but I’m hoping there are ways we can make it real for everyone. There’s so many people that deserve direct help, charities are so corrupt and it barely ever gets in the hands of the people who need it.

Blindly believing tools can fix humanity as a sort of magic wand is childish. Back to your dream I can remember you nobody prevents to donate with cash to the most trusted person in need you know nearby. Direct transaction, immediate possibility to assess results. The more layers the more opaque and ultimately uncontrollable the process. Helping becomes just another way to tap and forget.

This relates to a thought I have from a long time. NGOs should be banned. Only service oriented companies. What is your service? We plant trees. We feed x amount of poor children. Furthermore, we should be able to hire companies to do good stuff in the world around us.
All the special treatment NGOs receive "because they are doing good" is all bullshit. Companies can do good as well. It all comes from communist thinking: "capitalism and companies are bad, so we need NGOs". No we don't. Fuck NGOs.
