I hate the fiat system

We've been without a vehicle for about a month now, and came time to ignore slow time preference.

I've spent the past 3 days starting a new bank account. They almost want your DNA nowadays. Insane.

I then got a loan thru Strike, no shade on nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0t25cfd , it was simple and fast. Kudos.

When I got to the dealer, my debit card was declined. The money was there, but.. declined.

I tried to get them on the phone, and had a 30 minute wait time.

I ended up driving to the closest one to get a cashier's check, and then had to pay $8 for the "service" for a cashier's check.

Their system is insane. It's slow, inefficient, and completely retarded.

Bitcoin is simple and elegant.

Let me pay in Bitcoin damnit!

Wow. It is amazing that so many folks put up with this kind of nonsense.

This is why we HODL. Simple, fast, elegant – no middlemen needed 🔥

💯

Lol. You can hodl for another 100 years without people ever accepting your precious hodl.

You create a market to spend your coins or die a Bitcoin rich, but unfree man.

That’s fucked

I tried cashing a check ones, had to go to 3 banks and then get a special exception.

I lost all interest in fiat at that time. I so agree! Just give me bitcoin!! And let us pay in bitcoin!

Alil on the pricey-er side, but it's a step in a Bitcoin direction. https://www.cryptoautos.com/

Priced in fiat lol. #btcfail

Did the same for an RV last year. Step one. Open a bank account. WTF Bitcoiners? It’s 2025

Sure you are a Bitcoiner? Buy a car with Bitcoin or Monero.

The same time you used to open a bank account is the time you need to find someone who sells va car for crypto or convert a car dealer.

You chose the self destructive way. With "Bitcoiners" like this we'll never win. Sorry bro. You need a wake up call. We already have more than enough complaints here. Don't feed into low energy vibes if you hate it so much. Be the change you want to see in the world.

after using bitcoin rails the old rails feel just that... old and broken

to a brighter future friend

We're getting there, but my low time preference is definitely tested sometimes 🤷🤣

yeah, it's going to take a while... grateful for things like strike that make connecting back a little smoother

Cash from cold storage was quicker then cash from a tradfi account. In both funding transactions the tradfi system was the slowest part. Bitcoin is so easy to move on weekends and holidays.

I fuck hate banks in general, I used part of my govt theft reimbursement this year to buy a car out right from a dealer and thankfully called my bank a day before because I was told that I needed to get their approval to use my debit card for any purchase above $8k… i got the approval thankfully 🙄 but still when I went to pay the dealer the card got declined… had to wait on the line with the bank for only 5 minutes at least for them to authorize the card to be slid through the card reader because apparently it was only authorized for chip reader prior to that and the dealership wasn’t allowed to use chip readers… fuck the fiat system

Here here! Banks are branches of the federal reserve monopoly. This is why monopolies are bad, not because they rape you (because they can and some do) but because they stifle innovation to maintain their market position. The banking system is a massive jobs program, one of the biggest alongside insurance, education, medicine, and government itself. How do you fix a system controlled by monopoly? You let them die of obsolescence, like education and medicine are dying.

What did you end up buying?
