Ok so you 'scan read' so you mustn't have seen the part where I said:

'Outside of Nostr ... ' So thanks for letting me know about plebian.market, which I already know about ...

And you didn't actually address the question I had (re: paradox) ... The paradox is, that Bitcoin incentives you to hold rather than spend, not that you'll never spend it, but you are more than likely to hold it rather than spend it. Saving and spending, IS the paradox, because when I hold Bitcoin, I feel like saving more than spending, that's just a fact (for me at least). In fact, holding Bitcoin IS using it ... the paramount invention is the ability to invisibly store your wealth in your mind across time, without it being corrupted, when the time comes, you 'spend' it, you release it's power to someone else.

I agree with you, and want to see a future of bitcoin in use, but the point I was making (perhaps paradox was the wrong word) is that Bitcoin makes you feel like you can save for the first time, and deploy your time and energy sometime in the future ... that's all, it gives you less of a feeling of wanting to spend it, now ... I know you should.

"So, if you are lucky enough to have a shop that accepts Bitcoin and sells something you need to buy, go there." I would, there isn't

"Chiefmonkey runs an online market place." Yes I know, as I've said.

Spend and replace, replace with what? If you're holding Bitcoin, there's nothing to replace it with. Unless you have a fiat job, which means you're not living the full circle no?

Spend and replace was apparently your answer to my question, which wasn't to answer it at all ... you certainly did scan read - what is the point in doing that?

Don't respond if you're not bothered to read someones post, you're only talking to yourself.
