The Bitcoin Standard is not something that happens overnight. One can not just exchange fiat for bitcoin and claiming to live Bitcoin standard. The economy needs to support it so you can get paid by bitcoin and use it for the living expenses.

I don’t care how you label it. I spend Bitcoin for everything and you don’t. There are solutions for this, and it’s just a matter of will and effort. If you’re waiting for the system to change on its own to accommodate your improved version of it, I have news for you. It won’t. The economy won’t support a choice made by a fringe group unless there is a strong incentive. Change comes from action, not slogans. By creating real monetary demand through actual usage, you and others like you will drive that change.
On the flip side, people like Saylor will help Bitcoin become an inert asset that no longer serves its primary function as money, slowly pushing it toward irrelevance.
You sell bitcoin and I don't.
I'm not waiting anything, I focus on my craft and save in bitcoin.
If bitcoin works, systems will inevitably adjust for it. Economic order is foundational so it takes time and there should be no need for rushing.
Saylor is doing more harm than good nowadays when he tries to prevent others funding development and maintaining Bitcoin, he also doesn't seem to care P2P cash but instead digital gold aspect of it. He doesn't spend their bitcoin like you do.
I say this and then I’m opting out of this conversation. Bitcoin is a system, but it’s people who make it work. If every node runner abandoned the software tomorrow and the network collapsed, would that mean Bitcoin failed, or that people failed Bitcoin?
Economy doesn’t exist in a vacuum - every outcome is a result of human action. There’s no inevitability. The idea that “everything is good for Bitcoin” has become a meme, and a misleading one at that.
Saving in Bitcoin while actively supporting the fiat system is also a valid choice, one with real consequences for Bitcoin’s future. Your actions shape the Bitcoin economy just as much as anyone else’s. If more people continue down this path, the so-called Bitcoin revolution may remain nothing more than a dream.
