Purpose for 2025, make people understand that Bitcoin needs to be used as money or we are screwed.

Statist morons like Saylor that some of you worship want bitcoin to be a security or commodity (SEC) and this is very bad.

If bitcoin is a security or commodity and not money, it is subject to capital gains taxation in most countries in the world, Bitcoin will serve to support the state, and since KYC environments have become the on and off ramps the states have it all under control, we have lost the war.

Bitcoin needs to be used as money, with Lightning it can be used perfectly well and with Liquid too, although many of you criticize Liquid for being federated, it is preferable to use federated and escrow services than not using them and just doing HODL.

HODL does not help guys, Bitrefill and its cards and other similar services is the little we have or Destinia where you can pay with Bitcoin. We have been stagnant for years and we are not moving forward, if you have a commerce accept Bitcoin, it is the best thing you will do for the world and your children.

The state is winning, I hope you have it clear.

If Bitcoin is used as money, its traceability is almost impossible, Bitcoin + Lightning + Liquid + ARK + RSK + Boltz

Everything will be an amalgamation of untraceable jumps.

If bitcoin is used as money it will be very difficult for states to apply capital gains.

It is true that right now Boltz is centralized but it is opensource, it does not work with fiat and clones can be created in favorable jurisdictions or simply under Tor.

Hey I'm beginning to think you're not really pessimistic, you're just trying to motivate the team... 😆

What I want to do is to make people aware that Bitcoin must be used on a daily basis, otherwise it is useless.

Accepting bitcoin as merchants is as easy as downloading Phoenix, Breez or even any custody wallet, the end justifies the means.

No need for POS or KYC or shit like in the fiat system.

100% - and this is why I think the map is important as a tool for outreach and onboarding.

This year I am going to:

- print leaflets explaining bitcoin and how and why to accept it, eg something like https://bridge2bitcoin.com/downloads/ (I have seen templates for this somewhere, so you can compose your own, but can't find right now)

- print stickers like this https://btcmap.org/images/logo.svg

- get a clipboard lol

- go around independent businesses asking if they accept bitcoin, explaining why they might want to (and adding that they can get on this map www.btcmap.org/map and earn a sticker..)

- offer to set them up with eg wallet of satoshi there and then (and buy something)

It's going to be an absolute blast!
