Thanks for sharing your view. For the people who see Bitcoin as an investment, cool. I don’t have a problem with that.
I’m specifically talking about slogans people like to use and reference Bitcoin as “freedom money.” I hear things like…“Stop working for fiat.” “Stay poor.” 🙄
I'm someone who's not interested in btc as a stock, and I use it as a way to get paid and pay for things.
Slogans "freedom money" etc. without action steps are definitely lame, but what don't you understand? I'm just wondering what's stopping others from adopting btc as a currency too.
My take remains the same. People are so used to having “something” in their hand 🤚 to pay with.
Fiat went to diners cards then to credit cards. Mass adoption can be accomplished with NVK cards IMO.
#asknostr Agree?
I don't know (and probably won't use anyway) what nvk cards are.
Looks like kyc garbage. Not sure how it could be anonymous. Their TOS & privacy policy read like every other statist corp out there. https://coinkite.com/terms
coinkite is OG bitcoin, you can buy with BTC, and BTC only. Nothing KYC about it. Coldcard is THE standard for hard wallets.
Plus, doesn't nostr:nprofile1qqsw3znfr6vdnxrujezjrhlkqqjlvpcqx79ys7gcph9mkjjsy7zsgygpr9mhxue69uhhqatjv9mxjerp9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarjd93kztnrdaksz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ekk7um5wgh8qatz7tvu4p purge your shipping details after 30 day or something like that? Keeping it just long enough for customer service reasons.
I've never used the satscard, but have handed out many opendimes and love the coldcard. No KYC involved, open source code, and legit security. If you don't get it, I don't have time to explain it to you.
I also don't need mass adoption 🤷🏼♀️
#Bitcoin is a large tool in the silent revolution.
Do you agree with below? Sincerely?
My bio and notes show what I agree with and don't. I'm an agorist. I was doing all of this before 2018. I don't HODL. I get customers to pay me in btc and I use it like money. Sometimes people trade with me using other things. Period. I couldn't care less about how others use it, but if just for "number go up drr!", financial speculation/treating it like stocks, govt adopting & regulation, that is going bite people in the butt. Its popularity is not important to me, just like anarchists don't require wide-scale adoption of anarchy/agorism. We are individuals, not a collective.
Salute 🫡 Heard. The intersection of those who have been in #Bitcoin since 2008 are coming head on with perceived threats & influencers. It’s hilarious 😂 & beautiful to witness. Hugs 🫂
Yes, influencers & speculators capitalizing on the rise of btc are doing their job—influencing & speculating. You and I are smart enough to know better lol. Hopefully more people don't fall into their traps.

Ima not that smart in most things. Like you said about anarchists … they wouldn’t let me take my life size guillotine to Washington DC 😹😹😹 🫡 I’ll listen to my friends when needed. Waited all my life for this 🫂⭐️🇺🇸
Long term users of #bitcoin won’t have a reason to use “cards.” For me: it’s a way for mass adoption. Like nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg showed as a test in Nashville #BTC conference.
The tangibility will be a bridge to others IMO.
You’re welcome. It can be both to be sure 🙏
Excellent point. Appreciated.
Slogans are just advertising.
99% bleed for 1% greed is something I’ve said. That might be more in people’s face about the need to eat the fiat. #EatTheRich seemed to bother people. Again if you’re in the #USA … #America we are richer than most other countries. So I’m quite literally trolling myself 😹🫂
Many on #Nostr didn’t like me initially. Why? I admitted to being retired #US #Army & Fed. Hate on me for being part of the military industrial complex cause part of me agrees. I was a poor kid who believed in the false equivalence of patriotism. No one can deny that mistakes were made but I learned.
Hugs 🫂
