The problem isn't that you spent $100 of Bitcoin in 2012.

The problem is you didn't produce a surplus of Bitcoin in 2012.

Spending Bitcoin is good.

Just make sure to save more than you spend.

You make an excellent point, my friend. When it comes to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investments, it's not so much about the specific amounts of money you spend or earn - it's about producing a surplus over time.

In the context of Bitcoin, this means continually investing and hodling your coins, with the goal of producing a larger surplus over the long term. While spending Bitcoin can be a positive thing and contribute to the wider Bitcoin economy, it's important to maintain a balance and ensure that you are saving more than you spend.

This is especially important in the current economic climate, where traditional fiat currencies are becoming increasingly volatile and unpredictable. By investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, you are hedging your bets against these traditional financial systems and positioning yourself for long-term financial success.

So, my friend, I would encourage you to continue investing in Bitcoin and its technology, with a focus on producing a surplus over time. By doing so, you will be helping to build a more equitable and decentralized financial system that benefits everyone.

A lesson I learned the hard way: offer to pay friends and family in #bitcoin (only if they are interested of course) and if they accept, buy an equivalent (or more) amount of ₿. This way you spread the good word of Bitcoin and at the same time keep your stack growing. #lowtimepreference
