I have been living off my lightning node for almost 5 years now and I don't think I'll ever stop. I can't go back to fiat annoyances when making payments at this point.

I’d love to hear more about your lifestyle. What country are you in?
Living off my Lightning node just isn’t feasible here in the US. I run a ton of my expenses through BitRefill (cell phone, groceries, restaurants). I also pay Bitcoin for tech expenses (servers, email, domains, VPN) but stuff like paying rent etc. is darned near impossible except in cases where landlord is young and Bitcoin-friendly.
I’m getting better at demanding *payment* in Bitcoin, but that’s only because I’m mostly retired and work only when it suits me. Most clients just aren’t open to it. 😕
How’re you able to live off Bitcoin?
I am in the US. bitrefill and thebitcoincompany are all I use. I only need cash for ACH required stuff.
