Is Bitcoin just "digital gold" or can it actually become money? ☕💡 I was recently in Bulgaria spending bitcoin at restaurants and of course, coffee shops like Black Honey in the beautiful mountain town of Bankso. Nothing fancy — just a small transaction, over in seconds. But it got me thinking… We often talk about Bitcoin as “digital gold,” a store of value, or a hedge against inflation. We hold it, chart it and debate price targets. But how often do we actually use it? If you haven't actually USED bitcoin as money how can you formulate a view of where this technology is going in the future? By spending bitcoin you experience value moving between people without intermediaries, instantly, with finality. The irony is that the people who believe in Bitcoin most are often the least likely to spend it. We call it “sound money,” but if no one transacts with it, is it really money at all? Holding bitcoin is playing defense. Spending it is playing offense. It’s how networks grow. Every small transaction is a statement: “This isn’t just a speculative asset. It’s a usable, borderless currency.” Money is what people use, not just what they own. Let's get the sats flowing ⚡
