You know you’re not the king who gets to make the rules of bitcoin living and declare others unworthy don’t you?

If the whitepaper says that bitcoin is for P2P transactions without the need of a financial institution to make it, living in a bitcoin standard is only buying products directly in bitcoin without the need of the third party to make my transactions. If you need it you are not in a bitcoin standard, but in the same old financial system that the only difference that has is that instead the number of what you see in the bank being $/€ is btc πŸ‘€ PS: I don't make the rules. image

Neither you hold the "bitcoin" you have in Strike. I understand what you say, but using Strike is the same of using a bank, and to live in a bitcoin standard is to live without the necessity of any financial institution to do your transactions, so paying things with Strike pay is the same as paying it with credit in a average bank. At the advisory level, I honestly have none, as Bitcoin has been hijacked in such a way that the system have allowed to created mini Bitcoin-only banks, and people use the services thinking they are living in a Bitcoin standard, when in reality they are using the same kind of service that Bitcoin was created to combat. When traditional banks buy Bitcoin ETFs and give people the option to denominate what they have in BTC at the bank and use credit cards directly linked to that BTC, are they really living in a Bitcoin standard? Anyway, what a clown world Bitcoin has become... It's because of things like this that I use Monero.
