I felt very uncomfortable receiving that money. Also, it was very helpful to my family in that season. It ultimately pushed me more fully to btc, so I guess there's that.

1. That wasn’t a loan

2. If someone gives you counterfeit money that everyone else insists is legit, you sure as shit better spending fast on something that is actually scarce or valuable in some way.

3. This isn’t cowardly or hypocritical, it would be stupid not to.

4. The idiotic thing is to continue to use the dollar in any capacity aside from what is being dumped for useful/valuable goods on a very short time horizon.

Not judging...just observing.

The stimulus checks were funded by printing money--and that contributed to inflation.

Yet the only people I know who didn't accept that money are the wealthy (who didn't qualify, but of course who still had to pay for those checks through taxes and inflation).

It's hard to be critical of the government while at the same time be willing to accept its gifts when they benefit us...
