In addition to providing a means to pay bills with sats, Bitcoiners need to be creating and providing strategic guidance on how to manage cash flow when operating on a sat standard and using credit cards. Obviously, people should always be spending within their means regardless of their unit of account. But when paying bills with sats, people will need to be conscious of where they are in the cycle, large known expenditures (e.g. tax, surgery, etc.), and ensuring they can continue stacking. Overall, this concept does provide a good on ramp to bitcoin, especially when you explain to people that their purchasing power increases through every cycle.

A significant portion of capital inflow into Bitcoin in the coming bull market will come from #realestate investors. Here's why šŸ‘‡

1. Bitcoin is primarily seen as an alternative to gold (market cap: $10 -12 T) due to its limited supply and excellent monetary properties. In fact, however, bitcoin is a competitor to the world's most used store of value, #realestate ($330 T).

2. If you think about it, Bitcoin's characteristics reflect many of the value propositions of real estate, in addition to inherently safer custody, easier maintenance, and, most importantly, the ability to liquidate or move your wealth in times of crisis.

3. ā‰ˆ 67% of the world’s net wealth is currently stored in real estate. Given bitcoin’s vastly superior properties as a store of value, it has the potential to absorb a significant portion of the monetary premium that real estate carries as a store of value.

4. We can already observe this dynamic. While the bitcoin price is attractive due to its long-term price trend, real estate is in crisis. Driven by high interest rates and lower demand. This encourages real estate investors to buy bitcoin (see attached article).

5. I expect this trend to continue. Real estate investors understand the advantages of scarce assets in an inflationary environment. Once they realize the advantages of BTC over RE as a store of value, billions, even trillions in value will flow into #Bitcoin.

I’ve had discussions with River and Swan this week and both stated they are seeing a lot of inflow from #realestate investors.

I am glad to hear nostr:npub1g0587hzzckcncxfm78n0996qe2s58nspy29wf02tqcj5sdzcpj4q6j40hv saying what I have been saying all along in many pf my #nostr posts and articles with 0 interest from the (n)ostriches who seem happy to bury their heads in the sand dreaming of fabulous #bitcoin riches. I hope at least that she will get your attention because even nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx had one of those ā€œaha staring into space looksā€ in his face for about 1 hour listening to what too few of us understand is being prepared.

Are you in #bitcoin because it is financial freedom and decentralized money or to let it be co-opted by the fiat masters?

- Blackrock and the Davosian criminal-psicopaths are not your friend.

- Milei is not your libertarian hero, he is one of their puppets

- Musk is not a freedom of speech hero, the opposite

- Bitcoin privacy and fungibility are going down the toilet

- CBDCs/Tokeninzed money is coming and that will be a global digital prison for humanity

Watch and wake up.

You’d be better off reading The Great Taking by David Webb. Self custody your bitcoin. Everything else will come down to real world action taken by those with the necessary will and commitment to a higher purpose. Personally, running off to some third world country isn’t a plan, it’s putting off the inevitable conflict.

I see. I’m trying to get up to speed on these issues, but I’m not from the tech world so my focus is on understanding the business/individual’s use case. In my own line of work (commercial real estate) I’m trying to get owners to put BTC on their balance sheet a la MSTR, so for me high-volume payments aren’t an issue as I’m using it as a store of value asset on the balance sheet. As a bitcoiner, I do want to see this develop into a system that permits me to buy my groceries and stuff in a way that makes sense. The ecash is fascinating because I have a sense it could be used within a cooperative model as a form of payment between different members, with the coop being formed around a central stockpile of BTC or a LN node or something. This is where my lack of technical understanding comes into play.

It’s seems that at some level, a service provider needs to exist to facilitate the scaling needed for a payment network. Does that mean it’s back to third party banking system?

There is subset of people who have a purity test that you must pass, and if you don’t you’re not worthy or something. I’ve notified that these people seem to prioritize privacy as an end in and of itself. Ultimate think this will become a dead end. The ends of Bitcoin do not culminate in privacy.

Peter, I think you’re an alright guy. I don’t get the hate. If people have this much hate, I wonder if they are truly in it for the bitcoin or if there is some underlying ideological issue at play.

nostr:npub10vlhsqm4qar0g42p8g3plqyktmktd8hnprew45w638xzezgja95qapsp42 perfectly sums things up. Store of value is king, everything else is downstream. The biggest buck in the SoV game right now is #realestate and taking it down requires ZERO new stuff; just 1) BTC, 2) strong custody solutions, and 3) sound business policies. With those, the entire fiat monetary premium in #realestate can be transmuted to BTC (see nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z and nostr:npub1v5k43t905yz6lpr4crlgq2d99e7ahsehk27eex9mz7s3rhzvmesqum8rd9 ), transforming the physical structures from financial instruments themselves to equipment on the balance sheet of a real estate operating company. Owners still get a dividend and protect their wealth over a 5-10 year period (typical deal length in commercial RE). I think this is the most logical objective for all hodlers: climb the store of value ladder as fast as possible. No funky tokens, no changes to the protocol, just the 3 things mentioned above. nostr:note1x52nxhckfawf0jlrys9l7hny80y20w2uqglsxpd8syvysm9ezp0stw4978

Oops, you just called Christianity "soft-commie gobbledygook".

From Summa Theologiae:

> Things which are of human right cannot derogate from natural right or Divine right. Now according to the natural order established by Divine Providence, inferior things are ordained for the purpose of succoring man's needs by their means. Wherefore the division and appropriation of things which are based on human law, do not preclude the fact that man's needs have to be remedied by means of these very things. Hence whatever certain people have in superabundance is due, by natural law, to the purpose of succoring the poor. For this reason Ambrose [Loc. cit., Article 2, Objection 3] says, and his words are embodied in the Decretals (Dist. xlvii, can. Sicut ii): "It is the hungry man's bread that you withhold, the naked man's cloak that you store away, the money that you bury in the earth is the price of the poor man's ransom and freedom."

> Since, however, there are many who are in need, while it is impossible for all to be succored by means of the same thing, each one is entrusted with the stewardship of his own things, so that out of them he may come to the aid of those who are in need. Nevertheless, if the need be so manifest and urgent, that it is evident that the present need must be remedied by whatever means be at hand (for instance when a person is in some imminent danger, and there is no other possible remedy), then it is lawful for a man to succor his own need by means of another's property, by taking it either openly or secretly: nor is this properly speaking theft or robbery.

Repeating a mantra doesn't make things true. "It is true because I can repeat what Authority said."

This is called "Prescriptivism".

The only prescription I give is to understand the roots of the most common prescriptions.

Once you understand the underlying logic behind them you become your own Authority.

No. I said we should act Christian. There is nothing un-Christian in the concept of property rights. To say they don’t exist leads to incoherence. Don’t tangle that up with our obligations to act charitably to the poor and needy.
