What you don't spend your bitcoin? Because I USED to be in that gang when I was just stacking. But now, everytime I buy something I have to do a cost analysis calculation to know if that butter, or beef jerky is worth the amount of sats I am giving up.

Where did you get the idea that I don't spend bitcoin? I earn and spend it. I don't buy it or treat it like a stock. People buy my jerky with sats and I also spend my sats on zaps (I usually drain my zap wallet daily)

All I know is it really pisses me off when I go to spend my Bitcoin on a bill and Trump said something an hour earlier that made the price tank separating me from more sets than I wanted to.

The price of Bitcoin should be completely independent of whoever is in office. I consider it anti-state/anti-bank money, and they can keep their murdering blood-soaked mitts off of it. The real value of Bitcoin is its P2P and method of exchange. The more people who believe this and adhere to it, the better.

I mean, yes. But also that's not where the world is now. If I could pay my mortgage or buy my house in Bitcoin I would, alas, I am unable to do so. I am talking about my real cost calculation not my idealized one. I buy small niche foods and clothes and art with Bitcoin in the P2P market not 90% of my transactions.

Haha 🫡

I agree. But P2P is already fully dominated by Monero (out of necessity)

K, so people use Monero for savings? Or just as an intermediate step to use a small anonymity pool to go back to fiat?

Sure, why would I announce my savings to the whose world including government and other robber gangs.

People, not you specifically. Also, it's rhetorical. Monero is neat but has some flaws as a good monetary medium.
