You've heard it a million times: "HODL forever! Never sell your #Bitcoin, just take a USD loan against it."

Sounds smart, right?

Let's peel back the layers.

These same voices preach Bitcoin's gospel while quietly propping up the very system they claim to despise.

It's time to call it out.

We all agree: Fiat is broken. Bitcoin fixes this. So why are we told to "change the world" with BTC... only to borrow more fiat against it?

So afraid to miss out on fiat gains.

By collateralizing your Bitcoin for USD loans, you're not escaping the system, you're feeding it. You're handing over your hard earned sats to banks as collateral, risking liquidation if prices dip, all while injecting more fiat into your life and extending the scam.

If we truly believe in Bitcoin's power, use it.

Spend and replace, spend it peer-to-peer. Build with it. Hold it without fiat crutches. No more half measures that prolong the scam.

Time to HODL with purpose, not excuses. #BitcoinHypocrites

Anyone with a brain can see the scam without explanation if you use it. Since day one nobody has been able to answer the question of why a permanent record must exist.

A permanent record of money? It's extremely useful, there are no lies, it's the truth.

It's not useful at all actually it's incriminating & also nobodies business how anyone spends their money.

You don't need to know which individual is behind each wallet. BTC is much better than USD.

That doesn't answer the problem of a permanent record. You are correct I don't need to know & nobody needs to know so yet why do we log it? Because one of those developers made it a business to know. Public transparency is unethical in this matter.

We need a public record of the total money supply so everyone can verify the supply.

Right but we have permanent record of transactions which is not that.
