Your realism is refreshing, but the system is designed to keep you shackled to fiat, courtesy of Powell and Yellen.

There are ways. I buy Bitrefill Visa cards with Bitcoin and pay my bills and buy groceries online that way. I'm sure you can also find services that you can use bitcoin to pay for utilities and rent/mortgage.

Absolutely. I have ways of paying bills with Bitcoin liquidation. But again, that is subject to price fluctuation. And that's the whole point. If I were just paying in sats peer-to-peer the price really doesn't change that much because we have unit bias but when it gets liquidated to dollars in one way or another via bitrefill or other services it creates a need to watch the price action and pick your time to pay bills wisely. I feel like we're saying very similar things, but I am much more cognizant of the dollar price now after getting onto a Bitcoin standard than I used to be when I was just using it to save my money.

Sure, we do the same things, but where we differ is that I feel like comparing the rates of BTC to USD will just make people have a bad time. Freedom money has its price and its downsides, but also its rewards. I think the rewards are higher. I also refuse to pay attention to whatever news and mainstream economists are saying, and don't have time anyway because I stay busy irl with my businesses, side gigs, and volunteer projects. This is my last comment. I bc don't wanna fkn talk about bitcoin all day.

If you're more cognizant of the fiat price, you're not on a Bitcoin standard, you're on a fiat standard.

And you don't know what you're talking about.
