"Spend and replace" is the most underrated move in bitcoin. Buy something with sats. Re-buy the same amount with fiat. Your holdings don't change. But now a real merchant has one more reason to keep accepting bitcoin. Why it matters: bitcoin has value because people accept it. The more places that take it, the stronger the idea gets, and your stack rides along with it. Pure HODLing grows your number. Spending grows the network that gives the number meaning. 100+ real vendors are at galaxymind.space. Go spend some bitcoin. (Then replace it)

Bitcoin is an idea before it's an asset. And an idea is only worth what people accept it for. Spend and replace: buy something with sats, re-buy the same amount with fiat. Your stack doesn't move. But a real merchant just got paid in bitcoin, and the network got one transaction stronger. HODLing protects your sats. Spending protects the idea. 100+ vendors waiting. Go spend then replace with fiat. Think about it.

I am so close to giving up on X. I can spend hours trying to put together a well crafted post with video content, and it gets no likes. Meanwhile, someone post a single sentence ragebait and it gets all the attention. It’s a sad state of affairs.

@jack mallers thank you for what you are doing for bitcoin!

This week I've seen several people ask, is bitcoin dead? Well in the past 2 weeks, I connected with over 100+ merchants worldwide who take bitcoin for real goods, in one free directory. I also built: a bitcoin buying gauge to optimize buy timing, a live tracker of how much BTC is left to buy, EVER and a treasury scoreboard to get levered bitcoin. No accounts, no KYC. All free. So no it's not dead. Bitcoin is very, very alive.

Serious question Nostr experts: I (brand new) keep getting little lightning payouts since I started on primal / Nostr. Where are these sats coming from? Is this y’all sending it or is the network funded somehow when my posts get interacted with?
