i don't need a discount to spend bitcoin. i spend bitcoin as often as i can. why? i believe that im helping to facilitate the revolution that we so often speak about by actively using bitcoin. if i tell the world that bitcoin is better money and then don't use it, i would be a hypocrite.

if you're afraid of spending your bitcoin because you want to HODL, then there is an extremely easy fix for this. it's called 'spend and replace'.

if you were going to spend cash for an item, but the vendor accepts bitcoin, spend the bitcoin, and then immediately use the cash you were going to spend to buy back the sats that you just spent. easy.

Yeah, me too. But in my own field-testing, the novelty wears off quickly that I am paying a premium using Bitcoin.

what's the premium? the sats spent for the transaction? those few sats are worth it for me.

Vast majority needs to see NGU first.

The few sats spent for sending a transaction to the merchant are negligible.

"use the cash you were going to spend to buy back the sats that you just spent" - It is this step that usually involves paying a premium.

fees are minimal on strike. that's what i use. and i don't worry about the small fluctuations from spend to replace.

That's fine. You do you. I'm just answering your question where the premium is; and, it's not just the few sats spent for the transaction.
