Temu fuckin joggers.

The World of Temu joggers is waiting and hoping for Bitcoiners to fail. And the medium of exchange attack vector is the way to do it.

Wouldn’t it be great for joggers if we have egg on our face from claiming Bitcoin is pristine money but it’s so pristine that we don’t use it ?

“You can’t use it for anything!”

God they love that one. It’s their favorite gotcha. And they’re gonna be right.

They don’t mean store of value.

They don’t understand you are already using it flawlessly as a savings technology.

They mean Temu fucking joggers. They need to see their temu joggers are for sale in Bitcoin.

Until that is happening, the medium of surface area for jogger attack is growing by the minute with each jogger transaction.

As clear as I can possibly be and because it is worth repeating:

This is real. There is a very real threat to the flawless store of value use case and it is the lack of critical mass for the medium of exchange use case.

The joggers are not coming. They are in your houses already. And they are comfortable as fuck.

Temu jogger enthusiasts are 99.9% of the World in this example. And until you’ve seen absolutely zero reaction to jogger faces after SHOWING THEM IN PERSON THAT BEST SHIT YOU OWN IS FROM BITCOINERS, then you will dismiss this very real threat.

The assumption I got wrong on medium of exchange was if I just showed people incredible products purchased in Bitcoin then they’d finally get it.

Terminals accepting stable coins and digital dollars are here. The only thing propping up US Treasuries is Tether. Do you think Temu joggers give a flying fuck about anything else than more Temu joggers? They literally needed their pants to be easier. They were wearing adult pants and then said “ya know what!? I’ve had enough buttoning for a lifetime.”

We must create the flywheels for critical mass here ourselves or joggers are gonna jog on our graves.

We must create the flywheels today. Go buy some shit in sats today. Please. It’s not so scary I promise.

Joggers are gonna be incentivized by stable coins and the US to get more joggers. The businesses that run online or physical terminals in fiat world cannot wait to contribute to shutting up Bitcoiners.

This is how they easily do it.

If you don’t get this then when you lose to the Temu jogger crowd please kindly do not complain to the Bitcoin companies doing the most important work here to win. Don’t complain to those supporting them in sats about their messaging to spend sats.

Do you understand how crazy it is that you might be the source of the flywheel because you bought some fuckin soap in Bitcoin? And that you’re just not doing it?

Not only can you use it but Bitcoin business are making the most incredibly high quality products.

So let’s not be in situation where we have to explain that we could have proven Temu joggers wrong we just didn’t.

That’s not only how they win but how we become punchlines forever.

Buy shit in sats from incredible Bitcoin founders or be ok with the risk to store of value.

Be ok with making the Temu joggers look smart.

What are Temu joggers?

😂

?

Congratulations 🤝

LLMs are the best, here’s the context for those that liked this message and need it:

What is this saying?

This piece is a Bitcoin advocacy rant, stylized with humor and cultural commentary, aimed at critiquing consumerist habits—embodied by “Temu joggers”—while emphasizing a serious concern: Bitcoin’s viability as a store of value is threatened if it fails to become a medium of exchange.

Let’s break it down:

⸝

Who or what are “Temu joggers”?

“Temu joggers” are a metaphor for:

• Hyper-consumerist behavior, especially cheap, disposable purchases made via platforms like Temu.

• People who prioritize comfort, convenience, and consumption over principles like decentralization or monetary sovereignty.

• A stand-in for the masses who say Bitcoin can’t be “real money” because you can’t use it to buy “real things”—like joggers (pants).

They aren’t just hypothetical critics—they’re painted as the overwhelming majority of society: people who just want cheap stuff fast, and will adopt whatever payment system (fiat, stablecoins, CBDCs) makes that easier.

⸝

What is the main message?

1. Bitcoin’s store-of-value use case is not enough

While Bitcoiners often say “just HODL” (hold long term as a savings technology), the piece warns that this won’t be sustainable if it’s not also used for spending. If no one buys goods with Bitcoin, critics will eventually be right when they claim it’s useless.

2. Medium of exchange is a battleground

The threat is clear: if Bitcoin isn’t being spent, and stablecoins/digital dollars dominate transactions, Bitcoin becomes irrelevant in everyday life, making it easier for skeptics (joggers) to mock or ignore it.

3. Consumer behavior matters

Every time someone chooses to buy more cheap crap in fiat instead of supporting a Bitcoin-native business, they empower the fiat system and delay Bitcoin adoption.

4. The call to action:

Start the “flywheel” of Bitcoin circular economies. Buy something with sats. Support Bitcoin-native companies. Be the change—literally. Otherwise, the consumerism army wins by default.

⸝

Why is this emotionally charged?

• It’s urgent, using strong language and sarcasm to shake the reader out of complacency.

• It portrays Bitcoiners as having a mission—to build an alternative economy—and failure as a moral and existential defeat.

• It satirizes how the world chose “easier pants” (joggers) over real change, yet asks Bitcoiners to lead by example—even if it starts with buying soap.

Why spend it if you think it's going to go up.

Because we gotta pay the bills just like everyone else.

Why hold anything else if you know it's the Apex asset?

Yeah totally if I knew it was the apex asset I'd totally hold that and nothing else.

Too bad it isn't.

What is?

Absolutely! GAWD I hate temu

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Is the J in Jogger ?

Silent?

Use the Scandinavian pronunciation

Shifting the goal posts: Bitcoin's purpose just shrunk from buying anything to just buying "high quality" stuff. Next step: "Oh well it actually has no purpose at all".

If there is any risk to the store of value, I doubt it's in hodling. Stop telling me what I should do with my money. Especially stop trying to make me spend sats out of fear.

I do spend sats. Economically it's insane. But supporting anyone, who accepts sats for goods and services, is important for me. But bitcoin is inevitable. If we don't screw it on the protocol level, that is. But I think that the timing of the critical mass depends on how quickly fiat dies, not on how much sats I spend. I accept, that it might happen long after I'm gone.

Do whatever the fk you want with your money.

This is talking about the incentive structure that exists for spending Bitcoin. Build whatever world you want. Your money is your vote.

Additionally, Bitcoin IS NOT inevitable. It is impreritive

Yes it is.

> Do you understand how crazy it is that you might be the source of the flywheel because you bought some fuckin soap in Bitcoin? And that you’re just not doing it?

That's not how it works. Cointards have no skills and are entitled to someone else "doing it" whatever needs doing to make that magic number go up.

This post really triggered you eh?

On a tear 😂

Is the medium of exchange attack vector in the room with us now?

I always go for more sats

Never better world?
