Replying to Qno

And what really strikes me is that bitcoin maximalists are being set up to put all - literally all - their wealth into bitcoin. The bit that got me banned was when I said we need to transact in bitcoin or it will lose its value at some point. If you can't spend it, nobody takes it, then it will be defacto worthless. Just suppose the entire structure is in fact set up for one monumental mother of all rugpulls... and they're waiting for the value to rise to, say one million, and then pull the rug. Now, wouldn't that be a pretty huge wealth transfer? We just need to take steps to make sure we are protected against that. The only solid rule in finance is and always has been do not put all eggs in one basket.

You’ve committed the cardinal sin of showing signs of independent thinking. That’s dangerous, Qno 😂

Economics is all about supply and demand. Unless you create demand for your goods and services, it doesn’t matter how low and disinflationary the supply is. Other people won’t care and will hate you.

The best way to create Bitcoin adoption is not through force or promises of generational riches. It’s better to just tip or make small payments to reward people’s time and effort. They won’t fear it if they also have some and they won’t hate you for using it first since you shared it.

Gotta spread real grassroots adoption, this is why Bitcoin really exists.

Exactly. Well since the scamdemic I've been working at about 50% of my comfortable capacity. Some of my clients lost funding and talked about affordability. So I said, look, pay me in bitcoin. If they'd bought bitcoin one month ago and paid me with it today, I could charge my full fee and they would in fact save about 45% taking into account taxes, transaction charges as well. I can even save them more if they really need it, because I'm willing to bet on the value going up. So far I haven't had a single taker, which is baffling, really, but I have at least got some people now asking questions. One guy was happy to pay me for a couple of hours time to show him how a wallet works, how to buy bitcoin etc, which is encouraging. Soon this snowball will be an avalanche, I'm sure, now bank runs seem to be picking up pace.
