there are plenty of people who think we should not spend bitcoin
the cool part is we can spend it without their permission
Discussion
They are what we call shitcoiners.
What else would you do with it? Sit on it like a dragon treasure until you die?
Are they not like us And they can never be us.
It’s generally considered kinda weird to tell people what to do with their money
yes
Every cuckbuck spent is sats not bought.
They say that because they want people to have as much Bitcoin as possible, not as some ploy to control or suppress them.
money is for saving and spending
"don't spend your bitcoin"
Fuck you, I'ma do it anyway
indeed

Send notes like you have never been to an hyperinflated country.
imagine having the best internet money and not using it
🤔
Right
I mean… we all know it’s going to spent, it’s just whether it’s spent now or later
The best part is we only use it for things we VALUE
Easy there Tony Hawk this ain’t the x-games
This was meant for nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs kick flip video
Not spending fulfills SOV but…
Spending spreads adoption, fosters circular economies, trades value, enhances MOE, and the system of non-control.
You can just send bitcoin

you can just zap on nostr ! Without permission ⚡
You’ve said it before, but I will say it again: if you aren’t spending in bitcoin, you have too much fiat. This is very well said nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx
if you aren't spending your bitcoin, your grand children call you LEGEND.
Last time I checked, we can whatever we want with our money. So what if I would rather save it?
that’s the other cool part

Money is for savings and spending 🫡
That just makes me want to spend my sats even more! Not in stupid shit, but doing my daily expenses and dump fiat
Pretty neat
That’s what makes nostr so cool. Before nostr, I think I bought 1 shirt with bitcoin. Now I’m zapping my favorite thinkers on the daily.
largest bitcoin circular economy in the world
So happy to be a part of it. Thanks for always beating the drum that we should be on nostr. Took me a while to try it but I’m glad you didn’t stop shilling.
Happy to participate in it 🫡
🤝
Or not is cool too. It’s gonna happen so it’s all good
every zap is a ‘fuck you’ to those people
Freedom 😎

I happen to have written a piece on this topic yesterday
My favorite opinion is the one that doesn't matter to me at all.
I just can't, for the life of me understand their position. Just spend the Bitcoin, and instantly buy some more with the fiat you were going to use anyway. What am I missing? Is it the 1%-2% slippage?
Buying and storing is using plus its easier to do taxes.
just reminder "everyone's a scammer"
they want your bitcoin.
We joke about a million dollar pizza, and hyperbitcoinization has not even occurred yet. I praise Laszlo for his entrepreneurial use of a new technology, but I do not wish for myself or others to be a Laszlo.
financial advice:
only sell what you can afford to LOSE
the LEGEND parts is we can just HODL never sell without their permission

Our money is ours alone. Everyone other than my wife can go fuck themselves. I'll spend and stack as I please. That's the point of the thing.
It reveals that they think of Bitcoin just as one of the potential investments out there. They don't get that Money isn't an investment.
You're absolutely right.
Celebrating the truth of this statement by installing knots on the start9 server I just bought for btc (which I immediately replaced ofc). Got a nice discount for using btc, too.
The network does not ask for their permission to validate your transactions. HODL or spend? You decide, not them.
Hell yeah.
I’m not one of those people! I say don’t sell ALL of your Bitcoin. If you buy it on something that you absolutely NEED, why the heck not? I will never feel bad about buying shelter or knowledge.
Nor should you. I imagine the point is that as a Free Market community, we are coming together to find ways to expand our transacting to strengthen and secure the protocol. My intention is to find someone who wants Bitcoin in exchange for their investment property. And an independent grocer who accepts Bitcoin. And so on and so on until all my daily needs can be met by trading my Bitcoin for the goods and services I need. And until I earn in Bitcoin, I’ll keep swapping my fiat over to cover what I spend. Win win 🥇
Very well said nostr:nprofile1qqsqz0hu2enqxhhya60a0kegtwg0zlx5fx36tfn4k9vd56xj2zvg57qpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqm49qa9 These are my thoughts EXACTLY!
And I agree with you! Never sell / trade all your 🥞
👊
And I can't understand that. They compare bitcoin to gold and think they will only use it to store value. They will take loan and spend fiat. That may work in the short term, but if we all do it that way, then fiat wins. The ultimate goal is for fiat to disappear, so we need to use Bitcoin constantly.
You have to accept both usages of Bitcoin :
- yes, it is a money for everyday transactions
- and also yes, it is a store of value, actually the best humanity ever had, better than gold.
Some people will use it as money only, or store of value only, and others will use it in both ways.
If Bitcoin is not a good store of value, it’s not a good medium of exchange. If it’s only a store of value, it’s not money. If Bitcoin is not money, it fails in the long run even more than gold did, because scarcity is not why Bitcoin has value in the first place.
Yes, scarcity is just one of the properties of Bitcoin.
bitcoin transactions are also important for the network’s long term security and societal value 💪
Be more Lazslo, simple as. If no you, then who?
Two years ago, I did not think I should spend my Bitcoin.
Today, I’m focusing my mental capacity on how to spend it on
E V E R Y T H I N G I need in daily life.

Oops
Might have just zapped you
Great sentiment
Bitcoin is just money. Money is for spending
Ofc the choice of what to spend it on is totally up to you
Value is in the eye of the beholder
Turns out I still need the wife's permission 😂
Good Morning Nostr!!!
You can just use Bitcoin as money.
Hoarding without permission
Permissionless spending on permission marketplaces 🫡

On whatever tf we want too
⚡️⚡️⚡️
...and even on cars 😍
if only there were an escrow account that collected 1% of 1% of each transaction and allocated an even annual split back to all its members!
This is a scarcity mindset, which shouldn't be conflated with Bitcoin's scarcity. I know I produce more than I consume, so spending Bitcoin isn't a concern for me. I have savings and it increases over time, whether I spend or not. I figure the bulk of these people are leveraged to the hilt, have a small stack, or produce little economic value. That's generally consistent with those who have a scarcity mindset. There are exceptions, but they aren't the ones telling me how to use my money.

Amen.
Does zapping on Nostr count as spending my bitcoin

It's just a matter of being in a bitcoin standard or not 🤷♂️ who for need still has Fiat obviously spends Fiat and keeps ₿. Who is lucky enough to be in a standard ₿ obvious who spends ₿ 👌😉
