I don't get why people like these companies that sell you gift cards and similar stuff for Bitcoin and make you pay more than you would pay if using fiat. Is the goal to make Bitcoin look inferior?

If you buy gift cards with bitcoin it avoids using a kyc exchange the would report a sale to irs. If one had highly appreciated bitcoin one could buy a gift card as a way to try and dodge taxes. Maybe selling gift cards for bitcoin could be a way to also avoid kyc exchanges to purchase bitcoin.

@dave can you explain the words to “American Pie”?

There are three things that I believe every young person should be looking at:

1. Artificial Intelligence (A.I).

It’s quickly coming for your Job

2. Open source decentralized protocols like #Nostr and Bluesky.

It’s quickly coming after Facebook, Twitter, Google, WhatsApp, Amazon…

2. #Bitcoin | decentralized money.

It’s quickly coming after your government, banks and fiat money. Practically the next evolution of money.

I like the combo of lightning and decentralized open social network. SATs acting as postage to avoid junk mail and secure identity to avoid spoofing.

Hello fellow plebs 👋

I will be zapping 200 sats to every comment on this post. I hope I won’t regret later 😅

Let’s go ⚡️

Brand new to Nostr and experimenting with different clients. As an old man I'm moving into the bitcoin linux world as a way to exercise my brain a bit. Maybe a sign for the young to ditch bitcoin...
