The thing I always think about with these animations is not how much better bitcoin is than gold (which is obvious) but how little $50 a week truly is. 1. The average persons life would be greatly improved if they had an extra 150k. 2. The average person spends $50 a week on absolute bullshit that does not improve their life. It just seems like an absolute waste when you think about it. View quoted note →

The only problem with DCA is that it’s really hard/annoying to do without KYC.

$50 a week is about 1 McDonald’s drive through for a family of 4 these days 👀

Something like local Bitcoin but with standing orders would be nice.

Exactly. It’s not about affording Bitcoin, it’s about priorities. $50/week feels small in the moment, but compounded over years it’s life-changing. The hardest part isn’t the math, it’s the discipline.

Wow, haven't eaten McDonalds for probably 12-13 years now. We always preferred Wendy's or Hardee's burgers. Still, seems like a $20 bill would cover 2 adults and 2-3 kids back then too... With a pair of teens now, that seems like so long ago! 😂

Crazy how much inflation has affected food prices! 12-13 years ago chipotle was $8 for a bowl, now it’s double the cost with about 1/2 the amount of food

I don’t think they have standing orders. Also it’s pretty expensive. Nonetheless it’s a cool project! 👌

Wouldn't say it's expensive, I never pay more than 1% premium which is less than common brokers like Relai and Pocket charge. The trick is just to act as maker and be patient until someone takes the offer.

How long do you usually have to wait? Do you see a pattern that people tend to accept your offer when btc price is higher than usual?

When the market is pumping they usually get taken fast, couple hours maybe. When buying the dip it sometimes can take a day or two. It helps to make the offer a range instead of a fixed size and offer multiple payment methods.
