Bitcoin retail spending in the West is at the same position as Cannabis was pre-legalization. Sure you can spend it, just like sure maybe you have your "dealer", but it's functionally illegal unless you're willing to report every transaction to the IRS. Only "true believers" are willing to operate in legally grey areas, especially in the Global North with access to reasonably well-working payment methods.

With the perception of Bitcoin being a tool for speculation and investment we won’t reap in more true believers. Because the true believers are here for freedom and agency, while the others are rent seeking and waiting for others to do the work.

Make Bitcoin P2P again.

Spending bitcoin like spending energy, both require balance, just like balancing protein and fat for optimal health.

The change could come in 3 phases from merchants: 1) Bitcoin accepted 2) Bitcoin preferred 3) Bitcoin only

If you take 100% of your pay in bitcoin you have no option but to spend it. Platforms like Strike make it really easy as every buy and sell is condensed into two numbers at tax time.

Use Phoenix wallet or something similar…agree: earning and spending is the best way to accumulate what others try to mimic with DCA.

I'm using @Blitz Wallet and is great. Did you already test it?

I haven’t. Too many things to do.

No problem, but when you have some time, I suggest you try. Really a great Spark/Lightning wallet.
