The craftmans will benefit first and hard. I'm obviously bias but there's a reason I took this path. I put my work where my words are.

I want to understand where the seemingly arbitrary time frames come from.

"It's been 15 years. We should have completely fixed everything by now..."

Who says 15 years is long enough? I just don't get why right now is the time that certain things should be reality. The current rails predate many humans on the planet. Fiat predates all of us. Gold predates some civilizations as a money.

YouTube predates Bitcoin. Lol I remember YT not existing and I'm only 31. Most people didn't carry cell phones when I was a child. But yes, we should have already completely fixed money and broken governments with Bitcoin. In 15 years. What we have right now is astonishing for such a short period.

Can I get some boosts on that or do I need to pay a million sats to have the Oh privilege to be boosted by an influencer?

I'd like to encourage more people to take on a Bitcoin craft and be serious about it.

We few want Bitcoin. The vast majority of people want dollars. There won’t be a Bitcoin circular economy for a long, long time, because US Dollar stablecoins will facilitate the existing circular economy.

Glad it’s the quality handmade products that are getting the spotlight first, not the big companies trying to produce as much cheap stuff as possible to oversaturate the market.

This is a solid take. Thanks for sharing ⚡️🤙🏻

For Bitcoins to circulate in the economy you need the money to become worthless.

For goods & services that only accept Bitcoins you need to pay Bitcoins.

Nostr helps with this.

I'm going to try to start my Big idea. It will need to be excellent and it will help create the circular economy. No one seems to have modeled what consumption and trade looks like when money is programmable digital and decentralized. I'm going to have to build it aren't I... Ok... Here we go.

I agree to some degree however if someone busts their ass and puts out an amazing product and no one wants to spend sats for it because they’ve been told Bitcoin is primarily a store of value and number go up forever— then that bright new merchant will fade out pretty quickly. Lots of good businesses have accepted BTC for a time but then when no one was buying they either stopped accepting Bitcoin or moved on completely. It’s a double edged sword.

Producers of quality products *should* accept Bitcoin, but conversely bitcoiners must *demand* to spend Bitcoin for quality products. Currently that’s not really the case. Once that happens, the market will open up and then producers with the absolute top of the line products will suddenly be competing for people to buy their products with Bitcoin.

But until people *demand* to spend sats, there is simply no incentive for most to put in the proof of work required.

We still struggle with the problem of taxable events.

It doesn’t seem that people think about this enough.

Or maybe I don’t see it correctly.

I raise regenerative grslass fed lamb and my cash purchases out pace my bitcoin purchases 10x even though my lamb is eaten by people who historically say they don't like lamb

I also buy things I need with bitcoin when possible, like high quality fish or meat at https://onlinevis.nl

This is the way.

There are no shortcuts.

If you're not getting paid in Bitcoin them you didn't offer enough value to make it worth it.

Zaps are the same. Provide the value and the zaps will follow.

I love this take.

Becoming a seller who accepts Bitcoin has been a huge hurdle. Although I’ve been selling milkweed seeds since 2013. It has taken me the past four years to integrate bitcoin payments into my site. Weather it’s my ignorance of tech or lack of perseverance. It was only with past winter that I got BTC Pay to work on my Wix site at www.growmilkweedplants.com Nobody has used the payment, yet. But with no spread on the kraken price quote. The day will come. I know this.

Well said. Create the buyers. I like that 👍🏼

This! 💯

I think you're spot on here.

I also think it's up to us as bitcoiners to do our part to get things rolling. I started accepting bitcoin at my business last year. Not much success, even with a good discount, but I'm not giving up. I wrote a post about it:

I'm sure there at least or two people in this thread of yours that run their own business and can do a similar thing as I've done.

Great summary. We'll get there eventually. Build know, you can make it better later. Once it's better, the Bitcoin will flow.

“This myth where you can just start selling stuff for bitcoin and people will line up to encourage you is... yeah a myth. Trust me after 2 years I know. You are gonna have to be excellent for real. There's no shortcut.”

🔥🔥

Excellence is the bar for sats. As it should be.
