So what do you mean that you're "out here spending"?
If Bitcoin is to become a "medium of exchange" we have to use it, right? What good is the HODL forever, never touch your bitcoin, put it in a shoebox forever never do anything with it mentality?
I don't know any Bitcoiners in person... and the concept of "spending Bitcoin" is a totally alien concept to 99% of the people I've dealt with.
There's no shortage of BS-people and suitcoiners and degens and "crypto-traders" but there are very few real Bitcoiners using their Bitcoin.

But if no one is accepting it and it's alien to everyone - who are you sending all these transactions to that you just showcased you're spending?

I only did 1 transaction today thus far (across every thinkable MoE), which was to repay a friend that picked up a bottle of wine for me, and I did it over LN. LN doesn't help you gaining visibility into my transactions, which is exactly why I use that: so that you cannot see where I am, or even that I am. It's none of your damn business, or that of anyone, also not the spooks in the back.

I know. Lightning is amazing. I keep asking the cab/uber driver if they "take Lightning" and I haven't found even one who knows what the hell I'm talking about.
I hope we'll get there eventually one day.
