🟠 If you’re not self-custodying your Bitcoin, using it as money, or preparing to move to a #Bitcoin-friendly jurisdiction, are you truly a Bitcoiner? 🤔
Discussion
I’m slowly starting to meet bitcoiners in the flesh in America. They don’t like to use it as money. One of them told me that I have to calculate my cost basis before I spend it. I’m not doing that.
We’re in the major city and there are only two places I can get a meal/coffee with it. And while it enjoy the food, they’re both serving unhealthy/greasy fare, so it can’t be a regular thing for me.
There are couple services that do home repair/service that take it - they have a sticker on their service trucks - but I rent so I won’t be supporting them.
The flip side is I that it’s so rewarding to provide value in the world, get paid in fait, convert to bitcoin, and buy beef, coffee from nostr:nprofile1qqswaptqf78vde8zf78272nzf5zza02rrkhyfrlpzau6mnakhdu9whsprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuumpw3ejucm0venx2ef0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcategtg, or a nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezu7n9vfjkget99e3kcmm4vshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7xc7dr0 or a nostr:nprofile1qqs8msutuusu385l6wpdzf2473d2zlh750yfayfseqwryr6mfazqvmgpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vp39eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mf0qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjctzd3jjummjvuhsepj02z subscription. As a small business owner I’m still blown away at the savings for them since they’re not paying 3% to the credit card company. A few weeks ago I calculated what I absorbed in cc fees in a year and it’s a meaningful amounts of money.
My limited understanding is the bitcoins adoption will move as…
Sore of Value -> Medium of Exchange -> Unit of Account
I think more Americans need to move into the second phase, but I’m relatively new so maybe I’m wrong.
Tonight I’ll enjoy a somewhat overpriced steak I bought with sats. I bet it’s going to taste really good 😀
Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqspv7zt4kqm0wpptmjvag9d7pre82af4qmxppujcccpp67w6lgcfjqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgkwaehxw309a3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kqpnj5xe and nostr:npub1lrj3lsskez59qu68v5fpnur7ythe7s5e4qcelclha6t6r9q5pqgsl2mzx2 for all the help getting me on this path. 🙏🏻
This. Is. The. Way.
Where did you buy the steak?

I can’t afford to get my beef from them regularly, but I wanted to support them My partner likes pork chops and I need to cook for her more often so I got those, and they’re less expensive.
…and I have to be honest that the cuts they give you in a bundle are small 😞
Searching hard in New Hampshire who has Bitcoin in their Treasury. Convinced my son .... him and his buddies (all Latinos) are getting into pickup trucks, girls who wear Daisey Dukes, pick up trucks. Especially his Brazilian buddies .. those kids are wanna be cowboys.
I told my son he should be proud to be 1/2 white trash , 1/2 Filipino.
