0 sats \ 0 replies \ @KLT 13 Oct \ on: We don’t need more bitcoin merchants bitcoin
Yea I don’t get this. I have fiat bills so if I’m able to buy bitcoin and spend that instead, as the price of bitcoin rises, I save more sats.
My haircut back in January costs 35k sats, now it costs roughly 25k sats. I could pay my barber in fiat but my haircut priced in bitcoin is actually getting cheaper so I’m saving sats long term whenever I denominate all of my life expenses in sats, which of course is the much stronger currency.
It feels good to to give value to get value, knowing the merchant I’m paying has been given a money that will be worth more in the future than it is today.
oh it’s VERY difficult. I still have family and friends that can’t be bothered but the ones that have listened, thankfully get it for the most part.
I’m slowly realizing that we can’t, save everyone and just do the best we can.
I wish! The grocery store I went to was whole foods! haha. But know that I’ve orange pilled about 12 friends and family. All have weekly auto buys, some pay attention to it more, some pay attention to it less. All self custody and 1 also runs their own node!
I orange pilled my donut store and set her up on primal as well as my barber. Slowly but surely aiming to spend more sats directly!
I bought rib eye steaks, eggs, lamb and a few extra things the mrs needed to make apple pie. sats used to purchase a visa gift card, then added to apple pay. 🫡
I was a big fan of Matt so I’m trying to wrap my head around what’s going on exactly. I can’t tell if he’s slowly turning from hero to villain!
Oh yea, I’ve setup a lightning node before and it was an epic deep dive. This is way more simple without a doubt. Custodial for smaller amounts is just easier to use and deal with overall, but I’m happy to see self sovereign tools improving all around.
Not a shill as I don’t work for them but I just opened a channel via Alby Hub. Very cool so far and looking forward to being able to board friends and family onto my own lightning node.
I've been using ecash via enuts, Fedimint, and mutiny Wallet day to day for the last 2 months or so to purchase everyday items. I don't keep a lot of money on these wallets and it's been a great experience for me.
Literally load up the wallet and get the things I need. Rinse and repeat. I understand the conversation on both sides, but all I can do is put the tools to actual use and see if there's a benefit to me personally and ecash has been very useful.
Thank you man! You have a great memory! We should know in the next few weeks whether we'll be packing up for a film shoot so it's exciting and also nerve wrecking. Will keep you posted!
Mine is pretty basic, I'll read on the kindle paper white almost every night until I fall asleep. Works like a charm! I consistently don't sleep with the phone in the bedroom as well. It's a getting better sleep game changer.
Not for nothing but i just used a self hosted instance of Mutiny wallet, deposited some sats into a federation and used that ecash or eSATS to buy a cold stone ice cream gift card for my little one.
