⚡️👀 NEW - Apple unveils $229 iPhone Pocket described as 'a piece of cloth'

The short-strap version costs a whopping $149.95, while the long-strap variant goes for $229.95

Yes, it is but you can't be decentralized if you don't make tools for the lowest common denominator.

I'm just saying for something that's supposed to free the masses from fiat slavery it's done sure of a hell of a job at ensuring the fiat slavery status quo continues on.

The underdogs didn't win from Bitcoin/Crypto.

The people who were already on top have won.

Bitcoin was supposed to level the playing field, and remove banking barriers, and increase financial access but instead has become a CBDC-lite with Bitcoin being KYC'd at every point.

Want to buy a miner, KYC'd.

Want to join a pool, KYC'd.

Want to use a Wallet, KYC'd.

Want to Use Lightning, KYC'd.

Want to Off sell for fiat, KYC'd.

And yes, I know use BitAxe Solo Miners with a Foss Wallet, Buy KYC-Free P2P, and Use Zeus, etc., etc. but people aren't going to use the principled way, since it's implementation costs are higher.

Convenience ALWAYS WINS!

It's just easy to snap a picture of your ID than spend 10+ hours fiddling around with Linux, and potentially losing your funds.

And I'm saying Bitcoin could work but we need to develop tools with the normies in mind.

The normies are old low income ethnic minority women, all of us using Bitcoin today we're the outliers, or to use communist terms the bourgeoisie, we're not the proletariat in relative to everyone else.

If Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency users want adoption we need to start thinking like 60 year old Black women because otherwise Bitcoin/Crypto isn't going anywhere.

Most Merchants don't even understand how Bitcoin works, and they probably don't even understand how square terminals work either but are forced to learn since the alternative was not getting any money.

Bitcoin has been around since 2009 but only recently has started becoming usable for most real world stores.

You need to realize most people aren't you Darth, most people aren't earning $100,000+/year as a dev with 120+ IQs, most business are ran by people that most of their funds disappear as soon as they come in, and probably have 100 to 110 IQs.

Most merchants are probably well into their 50s, and 60s, and have been living off of fiat their whole lives.

If you want to help Bitcoin stop thinking like a 20 year old white dude, and start thinking like a Boomer, or an African, and see what would change that mindset.

People will only build the infrastructure once they see the utility for it, and Square is showing, and teaching people that Bitcoin has utility by meeting them where they're at because the alternative is no adoption.

I hate fiat rails as much as you do too but I use Flexa, and other fiat mechanisms too for Bitcoin sometimes because businesses won't fully commit unless they see the investment being worth it.

And yes Bitcoin infrastructure is cheaper, and easier but unfortunately right now most businesses have to operate on fiat.

Square changes the game though, it simplifies the process, and let's the two currencies compete, and overtime businesses will give preferential treatment to Bitcoin once they see the benefit to them.
