What are you gonna use? Are you gonna get your Bitcoin back in a bank and get a token, another fiat currency? No! We don’t want that. We want to create circular Bitcoin economies, where you produce something, and I pay you in Bitcoin… and use Bitcoin in an almost closed circle.
Because if you keep your Bitcoin in a hardware wallet and don’t do anything with it, just waiting for it to explode someday or whatever, this ain’t going nowhere. They’re even going to create more central bank currencies, tokens, shitcoins, stablecoins, and all that crap.
It needs to be said once and for all: we need to cut this nonsense and start using Bitcoin as money!
I understand the point, but I think that speech is more for people who have a lot of Bitcoin accumulated. Those who bought below $10,000 or even less.
For newbies who are just starting out, it's not practical. They just want to stack sats. Also, when buying Bitcoin you pay a premium (between 2% and 5%), so everything becomes more expensive.
Most of them prefer to spend fiat currency that depreciates with inflation, or use the credit card.
Also for the ones who want to #optout the bank system.
