Spend, don't sell.
Discussion
I prefer spending dirty fiat in a way that the merchant receives sats, but I don't have to spend out of my stack.
If nobody spends from their stack and receives to their stack then what’s the point?
I know we want the medium of exchange stage to come faster, but that will not be driven by people being willing to spend their stack. It will be driven by merchants preferring to receive payment in sats.
Until then, I would much rather offload my fiat when I purchase something than to spend from my stack. If I can do so in a way that the merchant also receives sats, all the better.
Yes. I agree. Merchants seem to be waking up faster and faster. It feels like this is going to catch on exponentially and after 5 years go by we are going to be like, "WTF just happened" That would be a good thing of course.
Exactly. They start waking up and thinking, "Why would I want to accept anything else as payment?"
This is the way💜
