I have to replace my roof soon. They don't take bitcoin. This is a $25k+ (25,787,818 Sat+) job. Do I:

A. Sell my savings to pay it to satisfy the roofer (15% capital gains)

B. Take a loan (interest, but 0% capital gains)?

C. Take a fiat loan (interest)?

D. Wait until a good roofer takes bitcoin as payment (hopefully my roof doesn't leak and cave in)?

None. Sell that shithole and live on rent, paying in sats.

If in 2025 you still can't live only using bitcoin as money, then I don't know why are you still in bitcoin.

Just live only with fiat. Bitcoin is not for you.

Fiat hill? I live in a nice home, in a good neighborhood, and good schools with my family. I'm a Bitcoiner but can't and won't die on a hill at the detriment of my child.

Well, these are relevant questions. If they don't accept Bitcoin, then take a loan. Pay it slowly using P2P

Pretty much this.

It never hurts to ask if they'll accept Bitcoin. If they won't, next ask if they'll accept cash.

Saving the world, one tax-resisting tradie at a time :p

Exactly!! Also, he could orange pill the roofer and bring him to the community.

The fact that you don't take reality into account shows me that you only have yourself to consider when making decisions in your life. I (and many others) don't have that option.

Where is that with "I will die on this hill" ?

Which hill was in fact?

The fiat hill?

What a expensive roof, BTW!!

Capital gains is a huge hurdle we need to overcome. I would be much more willing to you it online atleast while other companies start to accept it as payment
