During the last year that I wasn't participating in SN, the most important thing I did was to start living solely on the Bitcoin in my small coffers.
For about a year now, I've been converting every penny I had into Bitcoin. And every time I make a profit in Fiat, I immediately transfer it to SATS on Telegram's Lnp2pbot. I have also used Mostro, Robosats, and fixedfload.
It feels good to truly own your money. Once I understood government money, I understood Bitcoin, and I said that I couldn't have anything other than Bitcoin if I really wanted to get closer to my medium- and long-term goals.
Whenever I need to make payments in fiat (if I've already converted everything), I only exchange the sats necessary to cover that expense. I deposit the sats that are for the long term on-chain, and there they stay.
I also managed to do some simple jobs that will pay me directly in Bitcoin. I have met other trustworthy Bitcoiners, and on occasion we have made some deals and carried them out by paying in from person to person.
Now I'm back on SN and I want to resume my writing in these forums where you can learn a lot and perhaps participate in the philosophy of value for value when I am able to share a resource that may be valuable to another user.
how's it going? Having fun staying/getting poor(er)?
I must say thanking for posting about your real life experiences regarding Bitcoin.
Congratulations 🎊 That's the goal 🎯 to leave the fiat world behind as much as possible and enjoy the freedom that Bitcoin offers.
