I'll be keeping track of this vs paying bills normally then converting left over to Bitcoin to see which would allow for more Sats stacked.

Balancing that option as well. Probably will going into the bear market. As much exposure as possible going up, change strategy on the way down.

Guess I'll live and learn. As for now, I'm tired of supporting the US Dollar.

I'm 100% Bitcoin. No fiat. Actually, more precisely, negative fiat.

Paid our mortgage with #Bitcoin today. Officially living on a #BitcoinStandard.

Thank you to the following plebs for taking part in today’s #lightning deal to celebrate #Bitcoin’s 16th birthday! 🎉

I always throw these things out not expecting much but almost all 21 slots were taken. We did that thing! Peer-to-peer. Bullish af on us. Satoshi would be proud. 🧡🤙

NOTE: I’ve already sent all of you a regular DM so please check and let me know if you didn’t get it. From there we can further coordinate the order fulfillment. nostr:note10jgxda93w7a09g2exua23t3jz72jzhp2dsh8e2ma60xsrdh9mpxsqy8wmu

Thanks, nostr:nprofile1qqs2zqnq524z7zfdsh3vpwpwjh4vt7xxp6sec68y3xr3ndvve23ru0spr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvu3k7uyz! One of my first peer-to-peer Sat transactions. Quite excited for my mousepad, going to use it at work to discreetly sniff out fellow Bitcoiners.

Happy birthday, Bitcoin.

Good day to also remember and be grateful for J.R.R. Tolkein, born January 3, 1892.

My new alarm clock says it's December 32nd. Sorry everyone, New Years is cancelled.

Sure:

1. Receive paycheck and deposit it into a traditional checking account that will act as a clearing account. Sell your paycheck for Bitcoin using Strike. If you are paid via direct deposit from your employer, you can have them do that deposit directly to Strike.

2. Use credit cards (Chase in my case) for all living expenses possible. Groceries, gas, dining, etc.

3. Use Strike bill-pay to authorize one time payments to any lenders or utility companies that do not accept credit cards.

4. Pay off the entire credit card balance using Strike's bill pay service, so you aren't leveraged. This way you're shorting the US Dollar by running a negative balance in it every month, and reset the balance to $0.00 at the end of the month. Builds credit in their system, while providing cash back rewards that can be used to stack more Sats.

5. Once you've got enough Sats in Strike's custody that you're uncomfortable, either send some Sats to cold storage or start buying Bitcoin directly to cold storage using Bitcoin Well.

6. Rinse and repeat by month.

Adjust the above flow to meet your individual household needs. :)

Good morning everyone.

I started my Bitcoin journey in 2023, with the support of my wife. After a little over a year and a half in this space, I've came to the conclusion we needed to be all in. Today we officially began our journey of living on a Bitcoin standard thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0t25cfd and Strike for replacing our checking/short term savings (with acceptable counter party risk). Also thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqsza56ed667de7q6mu6uxspetg7gzadqtkeug3plserzcj2nz6vc7qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszv44jd for providing a long term savings solution by allowing us to have Sats sent directly to cold storage upon selling our fiat (without counterpart risk). Finally to Chase, that will continue to allow us to run negative Fiat and short the old system.

I was expecting a lot of anxiety about the financial change, but I am honestly so much more at peace with this. Fiat systems are evil time theft mechanisms, opt out. #Bitcoin

Special thanks to all the Bitcoin community as a whole, but also a special thanks to the Bitcoiners that gave me the confidence to do this for my family. You guys should know that you are effecting change in the world. You certainly changed our lives.
