I spoke to a mother today who really believes in Bitcoin. She runs events for Bitcoiners with her daughter, but she is super frustrated because, "Bitcoiners don't spend their bitcoin." She pours her heart out into her events, but she never even breaks even. She has become disheartened in this space and even thinks Bitcoin could fail because it is not being used as a medium of exchange. We should remember that @jack said the same exact thing not too long ago. This mother did recognize Jack and @cashapp's recent efforts to push Bitcoin as a MoE for merchants, and she is hopeful on that front. But I completely understand her concern.

I also spoke recently to a Bitcoin film maker. He poured his heart and soul into a Bitcoin documentary and had high hopes of it going mainstream. He was left in utter disappointment when he came to the realization that his film was not catching on. He told me, "Bitcoiners just aren't sharing it with anyone." How tragic is that?

Bitcoiners really need to put more effort into supporting other Bitcoiners, because no one else will! Normies won't give a shit until they have to! Bitcoiners need to step up!! Share posts from Bitcoin artists and creators. Shop products made by Bitcoiners. Help other Bitcoiners. Build things together. PAY BITCOINERS WHO OFFER VALUE FOR YOU. Stop expecting Bitcoiners to show up and work for free (I'm looking at you, conference organizers...)!!

Thanks for reading my rant. I hope ya'll can share this for visibility. Bitcoiners are cool, but we gotta help each other or we'll be alone forever.

Perhaps would be different if people earned in bitcoin. I can somehow understand pleb stacking 0.4 btc for years with hard earned fiat as hedge against inflation not wanting to spend on 30% dips. it also takes belief in Bitcoin to do so. But if they earned in Bitcoin, perhaps another story. It’s hard to be a manager(9-5 Corp jobs prod line like) & innovator(all of you guys inventing 557th bitcoin wallet) at the same time too. Diffusion of innovation is not 5 years process.

Senior, you are picking up decent amount of heavy metals on you feet walking barefoot that probably outweighs the benefits.

Basic act of personal readiness to act for Deity, as well as our self-identification with its directions of spiritual acts. The ultimate Beings life is not and object exactly in the same sense as a person is not an object. Absolute Being is not there to support and complement us on our weaknesses and needs, all of which acts would require Absolute Being to become an object. It is the readiness to act on the part of human being himself that opens up the possibility for us to also “know” Being of What-Is-Trough-Itself. The human heart/self is the only place of the becoming of God accessible to us, but it is a true part of this transcendent process itself.
