Very good pasta ai funghi they have Should taste even better bought with sats

There we go!

THIS is what bitcoiners should celebrate and cheer not bullshit "bitcoin strategic reserves" and fiat loans with bitcoin collateral. Every single merchant that start accepting Bitcoin is a huge dagger plunged into the banksters heart !

It is, but these things also contribute to making it more popular, so I think we're on the right track. Most people won't use it until everyone else does, so let's force it on them.

you have been fooled by fiat maxis if you think like that.

a single small merchant that start accepting bitcoin is 1000x more important and powerful than any bullshit Saylor or Mallers with billions in fiat.

Why, isn’t that the whole point of Bitcoin—for everyone to use it as they see fit? Ordinary people will never use Bitcoin, or anything else for that matter, unless they’re told to. Most of them don’t think; they just follow the crowd. If you believe they’ll figure out what Bitcoin is on their own, you’re sorely mistaken. They understand fiat money, which they use, just as little. Any state-level adoption of Bitcoin, to me, signals to these people that this thing isn’t going away. I’m not saying I like it, but that’s how it’s going to happen.

You know, local people often tell me that now that they see Bitcoin accepted all over the island, they find it interesting because they can actually use it, and it makes them curious about it. These ordinary people don't know who Saylor or Mallers are, and these individuals doesn't improve their lives. My friend, it's not the same thing, a circular Bitcoin economy where ordinary people begin to have contact for the first time, than a Saylor or Mallers leveraging Bitcoin to increase their profits. One is popular grassroots adoption of the currency and the network, by P2P trading, saving, and spending, and the other is purely speculation on price and making Fiat money through buy and sell fees. Of course we are not the same, but I don’t care that much, won’t argue, because bitcoin is for everyone, I don’t care how they use it, if someone says the work “bitcoin” for good or bad, that’s positive for me.

Bitcoin is not for the weak... only for the brave

>"Any state-level adoption of Bitcoin, to me, signals to these people that this thing isn’t going away" Bullshit. Bitcoin cannot be managed by states. The State is an illusion. Stop believing in illusions.

And how do you think these ordinary people will start using it? Will they read about it on their own, understand its potential, and realize it’s the money of the future? I wish things were that simple, but they’re not. We have to fight both those who are against Bitcoin and the ordinary people who will never understand it. They’ll use it when all their friends and acquaintances are using it, not before. There will always be speculators, but I don’t think that’s harmful. That’s my opinion, and I’m trying to see things realistically. I, too, want Bitcoin to suddenly become a global currency and for us to pay everywhere with the Lightning Network, but things are far from that simple. This is my view, and I could be wrong. Over the years, I’ve come to the conclusion that the majority of people have no idea what they’re using or why—they just want comfort and to feel good. Only a few are willing to fight and make sacrifices for a cause.

OK, I won't write anymore. You obviously understand much more. Nowhere did I say it was managed by states. As if. You're the one with the rose colored glasses, not me.

of course I understand more. read all my guides and you will understand too https://darth-coin.github.io/

If being "popular" means it stays in the wallets of the big boys and not used to remove the big boys from the system completely, then it will have failed. Everyone benefits from it being used in the market place but only a few will benefit from it being locked up and traded by those who already have more resources than they know what to do with.

this is what we need nostr:nevent1qqs0vlpzzn7qd7cle47wcdund096f2alk9pzl0k8mqydx4szttmgtlspzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsyg8tmkwzhsgrqalgdf7njttdl0jju97hjhru77z2z9d3k6wl3ffg3vpsgqqqqqqsrjn8cm
