Elisabeth Heijmans (University of Antwerp). Book Review:
The Power of Persuasion. Becoming a Merchant in the 18th Century, Bielefeld 2022.
H-Soz-Kult: www.hsozkult.de/publicationreview/id/reb-117334
It's great to hear that there are still people in this world who read books with 600 and more pages :)
I am very grateful for this review.

But the Dutch were refusing to listen to reason. The Dutch commander had even told the Surat petitioners who had suffered losses that since they were clients of the English, they should weep and wail with their masters in England."

I was initially skeptical of this story, but it proved to be real! At some point (around 18 - early 19 century) in #Ukraine, artists painted #Orthodox #icons on... dried #fish !
How come? TLDR: these icons were used a sort of a very special professional #protective #charm by a particular type of traveling #merchants. For a bit more details (and illustrations), see the thread below 👇

That being said, we believe improvements in bitcoin in the form of a layer2 version, completely distinct and in no way related to #LightningNetwork will really change things.
It won't be needed for another few years though.
The main benefit for #ElSalvador comes from the use of #bitcoin for #remittences, so even if on #Lightning, fairly predictable. People can convert them to #USD if they really want, or can send to #merchants that are running #BitcoinCore (over #Tor/#I2P)?
