That this needs being said says there is still ALOT of work to be done…

But I never sell because I use my paycheck for bills and essentials, then spend the rest on coin. What am I allegedly doing wrong?
The “alleged” issue: Using fiat continues its dominance. Nothing changes. Using Bitcoin changes everything.
You can pay your bills and essentials with bitcoin now. Not hard.
I hear that, but buying a home and building a family before my debts are paid and I have to sign a mortgage locks me into being a debt slave, where I'm still trading my time for fiat. I know, work for Bitcoin. That isn't as easy to do as it sounds.
Meanwhile I can use Strike or whatever that converts in the transaction but NES doesn't take Bitcoin natively for payment. I'd have to convert then keep up with everything come tax season. So I'd be paying a premium to halfway spend in coin, while missing out on deflation. From where I'm standing, saving in coin>spending coin.
You got to do what you got to do.
Bitcoin is not a one size fits all.
There is no “right way.”
And I hope it's clear, I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm trying to see the light.
