Some people do believe that there is no point to living on Earth. I don’t.

The point of living is to enjoy living, and to benefit self and others.

It will be good if we can reduce suicides to zero using persuasion, reason, and kindness. Suicide should be respected as a civil and human right for all adults when it is done in private. Nonconsensual psychiatry should be outlawed. That is, psychiatric coercion, force, and confinement should be outlawed.

Psychiatry wrongly medicalizes suicide. The decision of suicide is not a medical issue. It is a personal, moral, and ethical issue and decision.

Suicide prohibitions and the ability for psychiatrists to lock up law abiding citizens for trying to engage in suicide or for indicating that they will has a chilling effect on free speech, and prevents people from being able to have open and honest conversations about suicide in private in appropriate settings. This needs to change.

Read the book Suicide Prohibition: The Shame of Medicine by psychiatrist Thomas Szasz.

Consider emailing cryptocurrency exchanges and asking them to list Manna. I sent this email to Coinex today. Perhaps Manna can be listed on many cryptocurrency exchanges eventually. Feel free to adapt this email for your own use. Cheers!

Hello,
I possess some Manna, a basic income cryptocurrency.

How can Manna be listed on Coinex? Is there an application and fee? Will Coinex ever list a coin like Manna because it is awesome and has the potential to help lots of people?

Mannabase.com and Peoplescurrency.org are websites for Manna.

I hope Coinex eventually lists Bitcoin Cash/Manna pairs.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Can Bitcoin Cash effectively be utilized as a second layer scaling solution for Bitcoin Core? It’s quite simple actually. If many merchants accept Bitcoin Cash, then you can open up a Bitcoin Cash channel (wallet) for/in which you have already exchanged your Bitcoin Core to Bitcoin Cash. If you want to settle the layers and close the scaling channels, then you can close the second layer Bitcoin Cash channel by exchanging your Bitcoin Cash for Bitcoin Core, as long as you don’t mind the fees. If you cannot tell. See? Simple and elegant. I am half joking with this. Which is deployed more already Lightning channels or Bitcoin Cash channels? I’m using some metaphors here, if you cannot tell.
