I still can't buy lumber with bitcoin in my area. Should I then not build for my family?
Your problem is you sometimes get fixated on bitcoin as if its the end goal. Bitcoin is a tool, a means to an end. We need bitcoin to improve our lives. But if bitcoin cant buy my lumber today or my steak today, then I'll need to get creative.
The end goal is eating that steak and building a house where my family can be safe. Bitcoin today can help me do that by preserving my value across time. It is not yet ready to fully take the place of the fiat currency that is asked for when I buy those goods.
That's just reality.
If your approach is "then dont build" or "the dont eat", we just strictly disagree on that point. Difference between us is, i'm not out here trying to force an approach on you. You are, and I dont think thats helpful.
The reality: I am not a hypocrite promoting VISA
If thats your answer to that, this discussion is worthless.
ofc is over, keynessians cannot comprehend what I just said in this thread
Darth, saying people dont understand you is the easy out. Maybe.. just maybe. You're not making sense. 🤯
Nope he's right. Bitcoin is only freedom money when used in a parallel economy. Using it as a commodity to use as collateral in a debt based fiat economy weakens the parallel economy and ensures bitcoin never gets real adoption. We feel strongly about p2p digital cash as did Satoshi. What do you believe in?
I'll bet you satoshi also used fiat currency, even months and years after creating bitcoin. How do you explain that? Why did he not march forward and refuse to participate in a fiat world and stand firmly on his ideologist principles and refuse to trade in anything that had to do with fiat.
Or maybe you're right 😂 maybe he did! So he couldn't buy food and died of starvation!!!! 😵 this is my theory going forward. AND DARTH IS HIS DESCENDANT!

No. He is right you are not willing to put in the work to make it a reality in your world. Making it much easier for everyone that walks in your foot steps afterwards.
Lol. You have no idea what paths I've carved out to make things easier for everyone that has walked my path.

If nobody ever asks for Bitcoin or Monero payment options how are busy sellers meant to learn about it?
God gave you a mouth to ask questions. Use it and stop pretending there is no one willing to sell you lumber for Bitcoin or Monero.
I can attest that there are people once you ask them.
