Being a Bitcoiner, Black Friday is very different. I don't shop deals anymore because in Bitcoin terms, I know the price will come down. I buy what I need and/or what I want to support and it's a much purer form of transacting.
In other words, I buy not due to external circumstances, but because of internal values. I've grown in understanding what I'm about as a result. Bitcoin really does make you a better person if you let it.
Black Friday is usually a bit of a grift anyway
Sure there are some crazy deals but 80% are just marketing BS and if I didn't need something on Thursday, I still don't need it on Friday
Fiat is just for buying more #bitcoin
Everything is really unrealized sats divided by 21 quadrillion
And we had our deals earlier this week.
I bought a lot of things I was putting off buying for a few years. All are low time preference items that should last me a lifetime
It has little to do with being a bitcoiner though. You could actually even argue that it's the same exact emotion at play, greed - wherewas before you were greedy for the best deal to save the most money, now you're greedy because you "know" Bitcoin will go up against fiat shitcoins in the future; in either case, you want more for less.
Actually, Black Friday was always irrelevant, and greed is still the same force behind all that materialistic onsumerism.
Bitcoin or no bitcoin.
You're not supposed to say this on #Nostr. :-O

Let’s make #fossfriday a thing instead
