There's no CD here. You don't get to tell people how to use or interact with Bitcoin. Your utopia sounds wonderful. It's a world I want to live in and help prosper, but until then, myself and the other people that live in the real world will continue to use and promote useful tools that help us use our Bitcoin to improve our lives and those of our families.

You don't live in the real world. Just like everybody else you live in YOUR made up dreamworld that gets formed by your believes. If you don't take care of your believes they will get crafted by outside forces that may or may not have your best interests at heart.

I still can't buy lumber with bitcoin in my area. Should I then not build for my family? Your problem is you sometimes get fixated on bitcoin as if its the end goal. Bitcoin is a tool, a means to an end. We need bitcoin to improve our lives. But if bitcoin cant buy my lumber today or my steak today, then I'll need to get creative. The end goal is eating that steak and building a house where my family can be safe. Bitcoin today can help me do that by preserving my value across time. It is not yet ready to fully take the place of the fiat currency that is asked for when I buy those goods. That's just reality. If your approach is "then dont build" or "the dont eat", we just strictly disagree on that point. Difference between us is, i'm not out here trying to force an approach on you. You are, and I dont think thats helpful.

If nobody ever asks for Bitcoin or Monero payment options how are busy sellers meant to learn about it? God gave you a mouth to ask questions. Use it and stop pretending there is no one willing to sell you lumber for Bitcoin or Monero. I can attest that there are people once you ask them.
