I heard Bitcoiners are leaving El Salvador for Costs Rica because El Salvador is not really Bitcoin country and supposedly Costa Rica is the new Bitcoin country. Canada, is more Bitcoin country then both of those. I can travel all around Canada using my Bitcoin credit card. I haven't watched your video but will soon
Love this video, great to see how it brings communities together. My favorite line "how about you just delete some banking apps" 😁 Have a great weekend, looking forward to the next one.
Pretty please do me a big favour and share this video with someone. I would really appreciate it! Why?!! I hear you shout. Well if you stopped shouting I’ll explain 😜 Because the youtube algo (a wicked, pseudo-God) is not showing the video to people despite that people who watch the vid tend to watch it all the way through. Usually that means youtube hadn’t found the right people to show it to… yet. So by sending it with someone who will watch it it helps me out and helps the algo learn who to show it to. And no, before you ask.. I’m not paid per view (well, I am technically but my youtube earnings are like £40 a month lol 💀 ) I want more people to ditch fiat for bitcoin in turn sucking power from our warmongering pseudo-states. This video is a real world example that will help more merchants get on board with bitcoin. Thank you or simply thank you for reading 💜 View quoted note →
Sorry but I stopped watching at min 6 when you and Gabi start talking about taking a fiat loan backed by BTC. That is not at all a bitcoin circular economy, is literally going back to fiat and also perpetuating the fiat existence. Gabi needs more education in this matter. image
Sr, It was not me who talked about a loan backed by bitcoin. I sustain that if I need cash and the price is very low , I will take a loan instead of selling btc, but I never said I would use it as collateral. It was Joe who used what I said for an advertisement and actually I was not very happy about it.
Hahaha fair. It was a joke I turned into an advert because Xapo sponsored the video. I have to make money somehow sad they’ve helped me out in the past
Apologies Gabi, I used your passing joke as a segue to the Xapo segment. darth has construed that you are in some way in on this, but it’s not the case at all!
@DarthCoin ₿⚡️Sir, you're making several assumptions: 1. You're assuming I don't know this information. Is this some kind of prejudice? 2. You're assuming that when I talk about a loan, it's with a bank. I'm not creditworthy in my country; I don't have a credit card or a credit history. I have friends. How is taking out a loan the same as selling Bitcoin? In my case, they're different things. If I sell Bitcoin to pay suppliers at half the price I received it for, I'm defunding my business. If I take out a loan to keep working until the price recovers and then reuse those funds without defunding myself, it's not the same. If you like theories, you've probably studied the characteristics of good money, and one of them is that it's widely accepted. Well, that's not the case with Bitcoin, and I'm part of a movement to expand its use, but we're not there yet. So I still have to use fiat currency to pay suppliers, and I'm not going to bankrupt my business by selling cheap BTC instead of getting some liquidity another way. Yes, fuck banks and death to the Fiat and the whole 9 yards, sounds good, but I live in the real world where the Fiat still rules. Saludos ✌️

Gabi, DarthCoin is known in this community for having a very strict set of rules about bitcoin! He often has a good point, but also he puts it very aggressively so people are caught by surprise and people may feel attacked. My recommendation is to read what DarthCoin has to say, filter out all the swear words and attacks and then think about it :)
