An "ideal" society is a catch 22. It's impossible because what is ideal for one is not for another.
An ideal society for Fidel Castro was him in charge and the rest of his people living in poverty. Ideal is subjective.
There are as many worlds as there are minds.
I suppose an ideal society in a general sense would be one in which people could choose freedom and live as they desire, which is only possible through decentralization. No one person should play God and decide how others should live, but this is always the case as long as this is possible. it's human nature to be imperialist.
This is why it's important to support truly decentralized projects. That can which be found on https://defiprime.com/, https://www.virieproject.com/, for ex.

How to spend Bitcoin? Just as you would spend any other currency, to buy goods and services.
Decentralized markets such as the Virie Market https://www.virieproject.com/) make it possible for the average Joe to buy goods and services with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies legally.
Once people realize that transactions are cheaper, faster, and more secure with DEFI, it'll catch on and make life a hell of a lot better for billions of people. Bank accounts are no longer necessary. No discrimination.

Do you want to live a shorter life where you do what you like or a longer life and deprive yourself of everything?
Just like anything, the poison is in the quantity. I like having a cookie every now and then, but if I had 20-40 per day, this would be just as deadly as smoking that many cigarettes.
1 or 2-3 cookies per day with an otherwise healthy lifestyle and diet probably wouldn't be that detrimental. Hell, it might even be good for mental health because you don't feel like you are denying yourself all of life's simple pleasures. Same thing with tobacco.
There is even a doctor who wrote about the health benefits of tobacco in moderation. (less than 5 cigarettes per day or choose cigars and pipes over cigarettes since you're not inhaling paper and added chemicals)

Most notorious cigar smokers usually do alright with regards to health and longevity - Winston Churchill, Michael Jordan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Fidel Castro, the list goes on. Michael Jordan was said to have a cigar before every home game lol.

Spirituality. This is why so many people can be convinced to stay inside from a disease with a terrifying 99% survival rate.
Organized religions stifle true spirituality, attempting to give human explanations to concepts that we will never be able to fully grasp (such as infinity). They're better than making fleeting pleasures the point of existence, however. Either way, hedonism has become the new religion and everyone is so afraid of death that they never really live.
There is a difference between simply surviving and living. Between being a human insect and a God among men.

Some people are so detached from reality that they don't think we're entirely dependent on a fully functioning economy to survive.

60 years ago, there were doctors promoting cigarettes in the name of science.
The results of "scientific studies" depend almost entirely on whoever is funding them.
This is apart of this massive Psy-OP and is used to keep us in fear. The actual virus is the people orchestrating this.
It's important to focus on what we can do and not dwell on negativity.
They can be defunded. (We help fund these people.) Stop taking out loans and buying things on credit, participate in decentralized finance (https://www.virieproject.com/), decentralized social media (https://www.bitchute.com/) (https://www.minds.com/) ditch consuming what you don't need, move to the countryside, prevent health problems by living and eating properly so you're not dependent on the pharmaceutical industry. https://decentpropaganda.com/

Re: Coinbase Called Out on Twitter for Working with IRS and DEA
It doesn't make sense to handle your decentralizedcurrencies on centralized exchanges. They are required to comply with local governments if they want to stay in business, and they will do everything they possibly can to stifle truly decentralized finance.

"It's only when you've lost everything that you're free to do anything."
Whether this is good or bad depends on your perspective. As always, those with an accurate perception of reality and who are willing to adapt accordingly will be fine.
Ecommerce is going to be huge, especially thanks to defi. Over a billion unbanked people can finally participate in the economy.

Re: Why do people not understand that a man is a part of nature?
We are just as natural as a blade of grass. All of our deepest desires, thoughts, emotions, etc. are those that thousands of ancestors bestowed upon us to survive. Our stream of consciousness is sort of a conversation with the universe. Even the ability to think such thoughts is a miracle and a gift.
Few appreciate just how limited our conscious understanding is.

JcPenny and Hertz are the fake "big companies". Jeff Bezos will certainly not be the first trillionaire, just the first on paper.
Businesses that win out in any situation (wars, economic depressions, etc.) are the businesses that are actually essential and will remain untouched until there is a new system. That would be centralized banking and all of the corporations that central bankers own or have influence over=the mainstream media and silicon valley.

.... JcPenny and Hertz are 'fake big companies' ugh?
Hertz - 30,000 locations (obviously small places, as you don't need much to rent cars out of) and 38,000 employees
JcPenny - 1100 department stores and 95,000 employees
I wouldn't consider these small-medium size companies by any stretch of the imagination. And yes, while these companies weren't destroyed solely by the Coronavirus, it truly did put the last nail in the coffin for these companies.
Will they maybe come out of bankruptcy protection with the ability to survive? Maybe. But they still are in such a bad financial situation right now that they need protections right now to try to get out of this mess that they're in.
Yeah.
It's all relative. Sure, they are huge compared to mom and pop stores. They made good money, but that is pocket change to the entities that have complete control over the population-governments and their business partners. (Rothschilds, Rockefellers, et al.) Their business models are unbeatable -Taxation, interest, and government monopolies (not free market monopolies).
.... Here some the conspiracies about the new world order and the Rothschild and everything else....
Sigh if you would've told me that Amazon is much bigger and they're doing great or something about Walmart or whatever I would've taken this seriously, but this is just textbook conspiracy BS.
People on Reddit breaking down this conspiracy - https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/3qnbcu/eli5_is_the_rothschilds_networth_an_actual_thing/
People on Reddit are not a reliable source of information. A lot of accounts are created and used to sway public opinion. (Lobbyists hire people to promote ideologies). These families own the Federal Reserve. It is a privately owned banking institution and has been for over 100 years. It prints money for the government and charges interest. No one can compete with such a business model.
The term "conspiracy theory" was created by the CIA after JFK's death in order to make everyone that questions the mainstream narrative appear insane.
"If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution by morning.” -President Andrew Jackson
The only thing that gives any type of currency real value is belief. People currently believe that fiat holds value, so it does.
The only form of currency that has obvious value is other products and services. (e.g. exchanging one product or service for another product or service.)

Re: Bitcoin may be the solution to Africa's broken financial system.
African peer-to-peer transaction are now at $12 million per week. (https://www.usefultulips.org/combined_Sub%20Saharan%20Africa_Page.html)
There needs to be easier ways in which people can actually make peer-to-peer transactions to buy ALL goods and services in everyday life in order for it be THE solution.

This is why we use listing companies like Bitquick (https://www.bitquick.co/) or LocalBitcoins (https://localbitcoins.com/)... so that the exchanging is done in private, yet is protected by escrow from the listing company.
https://www.virieproject.com/ lets you actually buy and sell goods and services in private with a built-in escrow system.
It's definitely possible to live without banks if there were widely accepted, agreed-upon methods of exchanging value.
Decentralized free markets (which does actually exist --->https://www.virieproject.com/) gives anyone from anywhere the ability to exchange anything for any currency.
However, this requires widespread education. Most are living in a state of ignorant bliss and don't actually realize how little freedom they have due to banking institutions.
It's now possible to live without a horse and carriage. Soon it will be possible to live without banks.

Small businesses are doomed. If they're not closed, they're being broken into. Wealth is being funnelled towards monopolies in a world economy that is anything but free. (If you want to work for a monopolistic organization, have fun selling your soul.)
If there is any hope of individual entrepreneurs making an honest living in this new era, they need:
1. TO SELL THEIR GOODS AND SERVICES ONLINE
2. Easy to use Decentralized platforms that let everyone with an internet exchange goods and services for any currency (such as the Virie Market-https://www.virieproject.com/) without centralized intervention. Basically an international, decentralized Craigslist with a built-in payment system that lets you use crypto, fiat or goods and services as payment (no bank accounts necessary-still billions of unbanked)
3. Inform themselves of the needs of people in other countries. Beggars are not choosers and this is great for business. You have something valuable that people elsewhere don't have.
Any other suggestions?

... Do you folks really think that looters are just looting small businesses? Come on. Big and small businesses alike are being hurt by this, and their insurance is going to pay out. Everyone in these areas are going to feel it with their preimums going up.
How are people going to earn a living after Covid? - Most likely in the same way they did before hand -- Working for an employer and earning a wage. Whether they're working from home are going to office doesn't really matter.
For the people that lost their jobs and now know what financial instability feels like -- in addition to their regular job if they're able to get it back, they're most likely going to save more and have a side hustle.
Nothing will really change in the long term in a macro scale though, at least in terms of wages and earning.
The actual big businesses are not being hurt-->Online retail, Silicon Valley, and banking.
People will not work for employers as much if employers can no longer pay wages. The money has to come from somewhere, and there will come a time where only the monopolies will be able to pay liveable wages.
The "side hustles" that satisfy basic necessities will become the main hustles for the most part.
its difficult even for the big businesses today because the government is asking them to provide transportation support to their employees too. small businesses may really die and we're all going to start fresh to adopt the new ways and we'll all fall to online selling. the restaurants who wants to open will also be competing to online sellers, quite odd but this is now happening on facebook.
so where is this decentralized Craigslist because i wanna sell my big johnson there in the personal ad.

Jeff Bezos is on the path to become a trillionaire thanks to Covid.. but Amazon is way too limiting. Can't buy or sell what you want, where you want, for how much you want (high moderation and third party commissions), so there is definitely going to be a reset! Jeff himself mentioned that Amazon will probably go bankrupt one day.
Decentralized marketplace is https://www.virieproject.com/
I think this goes back to the decentralized free market.
On a free market, you are always getting the best possible deal due to the presence of competition. If you are not innovating and improving the price, you will not get any sales because someone else will beat your value proposition.
Cheap flights are hard to find because there are few other options. Barrier to entry is too high, but what if anyone had the ability to buy and sell things as long as they had an internet connection?
Global wealth goes up and more people are fed.
