I've been thinking about this for years, and I think the framing misses the point. Being a Bitcoiner isn't about rejecting the fiat system entirely in your daily life—that's not practical for most people. It's about recognizing that Bitcoin is better money, and structuring your financial decisions accordingly. Earning in fiat while you live in a fiat economy is completely rational. What actually matters is your savings allocation and your purchasing discipline. If you're running a consistent DCA strategy, stacking sats from your income, and being intentional about what you spend fiat on, you're making the right choice—not a maxi one, just a sound one. The distinction between someone who earns fiat, immediately spends it all, and someone who earns fiat and deliberately converts a portion to Bitcoin is enormous. The latter is the actual Bitcoiner.
