So you are for the profits only? who cares about freedom or privacy, or whatever else ?

I must admit, I respect that. At least you're honest

I got into bitcoin because i liked that it could send money without any central authority. I also liked that it can be done pseudonymously. Thats about it. I didn’t know anything about monetary theory and i wasn’t using it as an investment vehicle.

I was giving 1 bitcoin away to everyone i knew, since it was only like $1 at the time.

I didn’t get into bitcoin for its privacy properties. I got into it because it was cool. I also realized there will not be 1000s of coins that people will be transacting in, only one coin will win, and it will be bitcoin.

So how's "transacting" in Bitcoin working out these days.

I’ve transacted in XMR and BTC. I’ve completed way more transactions on lightning than using Monero. I use a self-custodial lightning node. It’s not difficult at all.

Cool. What did you sell or buy? What's the name of the shop? What are the prices like?

I send receive zaps on NOSTR daily. I’ve bought hardware and services using bitcoin—too many to list. But a few are, cryptocloaks, mullvad, and NOSTR.build.

Using Bitcoin to buy more Bitcoin stuff lol. #fullcircle

Was hoping for food, transport, housing ... ya know, the works.

Ah, you want to show up when the revolution is over. I hate to break it to you, but this is going to go on for much, much longer. Get in the trenches or GFY.
