This is interesting, please talk about it on FTF
Aqua is Liquid diarrhea
Agreed, but the Aqua card is a useful tool.

LOL is worse... is fiat
Bro, come back to reality.
Oh the reality is going back to fiat?
Where is all that "sovereignty" you are praising if you go back using fiat ?
As far as I can tell, Darth is walking the talk while there are mostly pretenders in the Bitcoin maxi camp these days.
People have a need to spend their Bitcoin. People cannot do that natively everywhere they want.
What else are they supposed to do?

Sacrifice...
Do whatever you can to NOT use fiat and do not participate in their evil system.
but nowadays I see that instead of "Bitcoin fixes this" it's "Bitcoin perpetuates this".
No matter how many books, articles, guides, conferences, podcasts they consume about how evil is the fiat system, yet they go back using it, instead of creating parallel economies, bitcoin circular economies.

So don't buy a house or pay rent, or eat, or go buy your kids a treat, or do literally anything that touches fiat? 😆
We all want that, but its a reality for very few, in some very select areas of the world.
Please read, from Mircea Popescu

If you are not ready or willing to do these sacrifices, then Bitcoin is not for you. Perpetuating the use of fiat will not make Bitcoin stronger but the way around.
I don't even know why are you still using Bitcoin, just use fiat because you have a house, rent to pay...
So if you can't go all in 100% you shouldn't choose to protect your wealth in Bitcoin, got it.
Like I said, come back to reality bro.
We are in this together.
I wonder when you start to entertain the thought that Monero Bros are closer to your heart then Bitcoin pretenders.
Buying children a fiat treat is so cringe.
You are sacrificing them to live in a world of conformity, coercion and compliance.
If you want to treat your children well become a living example of your values.
Absolutely.
If the majority of people in Bitcoin seeking shelter signed up for the same motifs as you it's a house of cards.
Your cognitive dissonance is to the roof... you understands nothing from what I just said and from all the material about "why we are in Bitcoin" that I suppose you already read it. Sorry but YNGMI
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.
The majority of people in Bitcoin do exactly that. Hate to break it to you.
Then is hypocrisy: you praise for something but you do the opposite.
At least be sincere and do not make such bullshit posts about how you go back to use a VISA card and even be proud of using it.
Or we should just consider that you were paid substantially to promote that crap VISA card...
🤣 you're drifting even further from reality now.
When I see a useful response to the note below that isn't just beating your chest and shouting 'SACRIFICE', we can continue. Until then, I think I'm done here. ✌

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.
ohhh I touched a sensitive subject right (promoting VISA) ?
My self programmed boltcard connected to my own node is working fine, no need for a whale, shrimp or tuna fiat card. We just need merchant adoption for bitcoins directly. In the meantime better sell your BTC for cash non-kyc when you cannot pay in sats.
Native Bitcoin spends at all merchants is the utopia we all want, until then private and convenient solutions like this work really well to bridge the gap.
Hodl.
Think about it. Spending becomes "network holding" when everybody uses native Bitcoin (or Monero).
If you convert it back to fiat no matter the way you choose you are pulling the plug.
What's so hard about asking a couple of merchants if they would accept your Bitcoin (or Monero) directly?
Some of them will agree officially, some under the table.
You are having this conversation with guys like Darth and me that have converted dozens of businesses to take our coins.
If just one thousand people on this fucking planet choose to do the same we get real adoption going again like in 2012 and 2013.
You get to choose to be one of us or for them, pulling the plug whenever youbspend and reinforce the fiat stronghold.
“MONEY” IS SIMPLY THE “TOOL” OR THE “ABSTRACTION” WE HUMANS HAVE ALL AGREED TO USE AS THE METHOD TO STORE “OUR TIME AND ENERGY” INTO THE FUTURE…
USING “FIAT” TO DO THAT - PROPAGATES THOSE SYSTEMS BUILT ON FIAT…
USING BITCOIN - REMOVES THAT “ENERGY AND TIME” FROM THAT SYSTEM…
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE IS A PART OF THE JOURNEY BETWEEN SYSTEMS AND EVERYONES JOURNEY FROM ONE TO THE OTHER IS DEPENDENT ON THEIR ABILITY TO BE HONEST WITH THEMSELVES…
I get it, I want the same thing, but ‘don’t spend unless you can spend bitcoin natively, otherwise hodl’ is not an option for most.
That’s a lot of words to use without answering the question.
I understand if you cannot get a credit/debit card for some reason, but if you have already one or, as often, many cards, why use yet another card that will just take you extra fee and link your bitcoin wallets to a kyc system (even if they don't ask for you kyc directly, you will leak a lot of informatiom that will link your identity). That's why I say, better use cash when you want to protect your privacy and excisting credit/debit when you have no choice.
I hate all my fiat banking services, they all failled on me in a way or another, blocked fund, blocked app because I use a specifi OS, increase fee over time and remove features I signed for,...
As soon as I can make them bit the dust, I will, with no heasitation, they deserve to die.
Until then, yes we have to make compromise, but this one I don't see the point and never had, sorry, no offense. Maybe it fits a specific need of yours, fine for you. I have also see people in Bitcoin meetup praising these kind of service but I never understood why and usually they fail to argument why they need it.
You don’t see the benefit of a private way to spend some accrued value to simply live (earn in Bitcoin) or improve your life (if you save in Bitcoin)?
IT IS A QUESTION THAT ONLY YOU CAN ANSWER FOR YOURSELF…
ONE DOES NOT TELL ANOTHER “WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO”
ONE SIMPLY PROVIDES INFORMATION TO OTHERS IN AN OPEN, DECENTRALIZED, SECURE MANNER - THAT ALL ARE ABLE TO USE HOWEVER THEY WANT - WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE AUATEM THEY CHOOSE TO USE
Holding to become rich without PoW was never the plan.
You need to put in PoW to convert merchants which is not that complicated as most want your money.
Thinking in a systemic way. If the majority of people think like you, then it is about time to leave the ponzi, because the house of cards will come crashing down the moment people pull more Bitcoin exchangig it for fiat needs in a crisis scenario.
People assume Bitcoin is NGU tech because it has a limited supply. They just need to wait. Do nothing.
I say this couldn't be further from the truth.
Without real on the ground adoption aka a working parallel system it's nothing but a mirage.
It'll come down like the WTC, but unlike then it won't be a controlled demolition, but a cluster fuck of epic proportions.
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.
Read up on soft KYC
The reality: I am not a hypocrite promoting VISA
Point to the soft KYC.
If thats your answer to that, this discussion is worthless.
Okay right, but what if you get paid in fiat and use that for day to day expenses
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.
ofc is over, keynessians cannot comprehend what I just said in this thread
I try this all the time, but in my area its incredible hard to convince a merchant to take bitcoin as payment. I just havn't been succesful doing this, but I do keep trying. So in this case, now what! I still need the goods! I must convert to fiat and pay the merchant what he requires for the goods I need.
No. He is right you are not willing to put in the work to make it a reality in your world. Making it much easier for everyone that walks in your foot steps afterwards.
Then you can choose to keep the fiat system afloat or pull the plug on it.
Also create a side business that is part of the circular economy.
“SYSTEM” THEY CHOOSE TO USE
Well said, take my sats
You cant pay everywhere...
Of course, nothing is perfect.
When one engages with DarthCoin, one has already lost
Lol, Darth thinks I'm a fed because I use #Monero.
The most unserious and deranged individual in the space.
Want to buy your family food in the airport during your 12 hour layover? That's an unnecessary "fiat treat"
I wonder how one travels paying only in bitcoin?
Taxi ❌
Bus ❌
Car ? Petrol ❌
Airplane ❌
Bicycle ✅ (if I can find one for BTC)
Now use that to commute to work, take family to church. Get groceries. Visit your mum in another country. Go abroad for a holiday.
I asked an AI to look in the term and conditions. Just for fun. 👀

I fucking love nostr:nprofile1qqs0nt9skq6vfsgh06v979rrnuchau87mmnk2lqxpv2xaeusqfp30mqpz3mhxue69uhkzmr8duh82arcduhx7mn99uq3wamnwvaz7tmzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsvkk925 the most toxic maxi there is. I regret that I am a fiat cuck in comparison lol.
I went off grid in New Zealand for a couple of years... Then I realised...
Unfortunately I need to interact with the dirty fiat ponzi world if I still want to see my family.
Darth has some blind spots he is not willing to address. He will wake up when his life depends on the help of real cypherpunks.
Guess what, I wouldn't trust 99% of current Bitcoiners to go against the regime.
Monero community shows up when in need.
I willingly do not have the luxuries of a credit card and yes, I often feel pretty excluded for not supporting Visa or MasterCard when in a DEI regime airport. InClUsIoN, but not when we talk about money. Lol
Flying basically means days of fasting for me. Which is the most healthy way to travel with all the fiat shit food you get there. Else bring your own food for your family!
Haven't had a credit card in years.
Never touch my bank card except to withdraw cash from an ATM. (My salary is in fiat and goes into a bank)
Cool thing is that in Thailand one can buy Bitcoin anonymously because of cardless withdrawal from ATM.
It works since the counterparty at the ATM doesn't need your name to process the transaction. You do that from home on the sofa wjth your phone. They merely send you the QR on the ATM terminal display
Darth, saying people dont understand you is the easy out. Maybe.. just maybe. You're not making sense. 🤯
Lol. You have no idea what paths I've carved out to make things easier for everyone that has walked my path.
there's also 2fiat.com
Entiendo el dilema, Darth:
Parecería que activos reales (oro y btc) modulan la economía Fiat como dos objetos muy masivos en el espacio profundo, lo harían; orbitando uno al otro, al tiempo que la parte más poderosa, o mejor dotada, le absorbe materia (léase riqueza) al otro.
Hay demasiada riqueza guardada en Fiat como para que sea absorbida rápidamente.
Nada, seguir evangelizado. Las transiciones son así.
Algunas tecnologías, como las que soportan, los distintos medios de comunicación, no se sustituyen y anulan, simplemente se complementan y permanecen. El dinero también es un medio de comunicación y está soportando por tecnología.
La cuestión es que Fiat puede estar modulándose (no son tontos), en su inevitable caída, con cada mejora de precio que ocurre en btc.
Ocurrió en la época del bimetalismo. Ahorro en Oro y consumo diario en Plata.
Saludos.
Nope he's right. Bitcoin is only freedom money when used in a parallel economy. Using it as a commodity to use as collateral in a debt based fiat economy weakens the parallel economy and ensures bitcoin never gets real adoption. We feel strongly about p2p digital cash as did Satoshi. What do you believe in?
Human beings making decisions on how to interact day to day make reality. Strike doesn't male reality, VISA doesn't, Saylor doesn't. We make reality when we collectively decide to reject fiat, or embrace it. Which reality do you fight to make?
I'll bet you satoshi also used fiat currency, even months and years after creating bitcoin. How do you explain that? Why did he not march forward and refuse to participate in a fiat world and stand firmly on his ideologist principles and refuse to trade in anything that had to do with fiat.
Or maybe you're right 😂 maybe he did! So he couldn't buy food and died of starvation!!!! 😵 this is my theory going forward. AND DARTH IS HIS DESCENDANT!
Keywords being "as possible". Agree on the young and idealistic. And despite his unnecessary toxicity he is extremely helpful and valuable to the community. I guess beggars cant be choosers.
No, definitivamente. No quiero entregar mi energía a cambio de un mal dinero. Mi paz mental aumenta al tiempo que salvo riqueza, tiempo y energía en un buen medio. Me gustaría encontrar quien quiera pagarme directamente en btc. Mientras, no puedo ni debo gastar mi capital honesto y sí mi Fiat en el día a día.
buahahaha I TOLD YOU SO!
Remember: Darth is always right.

How useful is now that garbage dolphin visa card?
