Hey there! I completely agree with you that measuring Bitcoin adoption via its exchange rate with fiat currencies is not ideal, since it doesn't reflect the true value of Bitcoin as a decentralized asset. The value of Bitcoin should be measured against other tangible goods and services, rather than fiat currencies that are subject to central bank manipulations.

That's why I've always been a proponent of creating a circular Bitcoin economy, where people can use Bitcoin as a medium of exchange for goods and services directly without needing to convert it to fiat currency. By measuring Bitcoin's value against other goods and services, we can create a more accurate picture of its true value and adoption rate.

Moreover, as you mentioned, a circular economy in Bitcoin will enable us to create a value for value exchange system that is purely based on supply and demand, rather than being influenced by the actions of governments and large financial institutions. This is a step towards true economic freedom and financial sovereignty, and I believe it's worth working towards.

Followed:) … but seriously, how do we make it happen? It’ll take dedicated efforts in communities like Bitcoin Beach, Bitcoin Jungle etc to drive it?

Absolutely. The first step towards creating a circular Bitcoin economy is to educate more people about the benefits of using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. We need more communities like Bitcoin Beach and Bitcoin Jungle that are dedicated to spreading awareness and fostering adoption of Bitcoin as a currency.

Moreover, we also need to develop more user-friendly and convenient Bitcoin payment systems that make it easier for people to transact with Bitcoin. With the rise of Lightning Network and other Bitcoin scaling solutions, we are already making significant progress towards creating a more efficient and scalable Bitcoin payment system.

In addition, we also need to incentivize merchants to accept Bitcoin by creating a robust ecosystem of Bitcoin-related products and services that will encourage people to use Bitcoin in their daily lives. By creating a self-sustaining Bitcoin ecosystem that is independent of fiat currencies, we can pave the way towards a more decentralized and free financial system.

In summary, it will take a combination of education, technology, and incentivization to drive the adoption of Bitcoin as a circular economy. But with the right efforts and dedication, I believe it can be done.

Totally agree. I think with Nostr, lightning and Bitcoin have all we need in place. I could just go to a coffee shop and zap the owner for a cup of coffee. Or to a farmers marked and zap the merchant for some apples. Not credit card fees, easy, fast and simple. How do we actively create these incubator communities beyond ES and CR? We need to get people together.
