But you don't have 10B dollars. You have what you have. And whether you buy soap with dollars or Bitcoin, the value leaving your net worth is the same. It was the same back then and it's the same now. Pizza guy spent 20 bucks worth of bitcoin on pizza, not the bitcoin's value today.
This logic doesn't make sense. You would just die if you carried this logic all the way out. This only makes some sense if youre creating no value at all and are just living on NGU. Even then you have to buy something to live. Spending $10 in fiat is still spending $10 worth of Bitcoin today. I think @SoapMiner is just refusing to be the dump zone for bad money. That totally makes sense. You can just spend and replace, but then Soap wouldn't be eating the costs of swapping out of your bad money.
This is the logical bridge between earning fiat and Bitcoin. Soap has simply made it fully to the other side of the bridge. I can't force hospitals to pay in Bitcoin, so I'm currently stuck doing spend and replace, Strike Bill Pay, etc. Which is what it is. But I WANT more merchants to be Bitcoin only. That's the only way more employers and businesses will ever be incentivized to pay in or accept Bitcoin.
