I’m slowly starting to meet bitcoiners in the flesh in America. They don’t like to use it as money. One of them told me that I have to calculate my cost basis before I spend it. I’m not doing that.

We’re in the major city and there are only two places I can get a meal/coffee with it. And while it enjoy the food, they’re both serving unhealthy/greasy fare, so it can’t be a regular thing for me.

There are couple services that do home repair/service that take it - they have a sticker on their service trucks - but I rent so I won’t be supporting them.

The flip side is I that it’s so rewarding to provide value in the world, get paid in fait, convert to bitcoin, and buy beef, coffee from nostr:nprofile1qqswaptqf78vde8zf78272nzf5zza02rrkhyfrlpzau6mnakhdu9whsprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuumpw3ejucm0venx2ef0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcategtg, or a nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezu7n9vfjkget99e3kcmm4vshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7xc7dr0 or a nostr:nprofile1qqs8msutuusu385l6wpdzf2473d2zlh750yfayfseqwryr6mfazqvmgpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vp39eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mf0qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjctzd3jjummjvuhsepj02z subscription. As a small business owner I’m still blown away at the savings for them since they’re not paying 3% to the credit card company. A few weeks ago I calculated what I absorbed in cc fees in a year and it’s a meaningful amounts of money.

My limited understanding is the bitcoins adoption will move as…

Sore of Value -> Medium of Exchange -> Unit of Account

I think more Americans need to move into the second phase, but I’m relatively new so maybe I’m wrong.

Tonight I’ll enjoy a somewhat overpriced steak I bought with sats. I bet it’s going to taste really good 😀
