394 sats \ 3 replies \ @elvismercury 11 Jun \ on: Debt, Leverage and Fiat Come to Bitcoin bitcoin
However, this year was a bit of a flip of the script. Rather than promoting HODLing or stacking sats forever, Mallers promoted spending bitcoin and even taking loans against them… debt… because the reality is, as you become an adult, there are things in life Bitcoin can’t buy. There are real moments, real bills quoted and accepted only in USD. This realization helps us understand the simple line Jack quoted:
“Money is a means, it’s not an end.” – Jack Mallers
I think this is progress. The sooner we can throw the stereotypical btc bro narratives onto the shitheap, the better off we'll be, and the bigger chance btc will have to impact the world in truth, not just through religious catechisms.
Reality is a competitive advantage.

What... are the stereotypical btc bro narratives? People into Bitcoin aren't necessairly 'bros'. I am not in fact a bro

I wasn't implying that they are or that you are, any more than stereotypes of anything reflect all the participants. But they often exert undue influence, as here.
