GREAT POST!
I often listen the Tokyo Citadel podcast.
I wonder why people in Japan do not start their own Bitcoin circular economy. Out of any other system.
You talk about heavily KYC stuff, but why don't you create small communities, that treade each others directly in BTC.
For example like https://farmfoodmap.org/ or https://btcmap.org
STEP OUT OF THE FIAT SYSTEM, don't try to trick it or evade it.
Simply refuse to use fiat. I know is hard to believe it, but it require indeed a lot of convincing work with people.
We are WARRIORS (like old samourais)... we are NEVER SURRENDER
Thanks Darth. We are trying with circular economy, and it's a big focus of the group. One of our members worked with BTCMAP to update a number of the locations. Unfortunately, as you can see, it's rather limited at the moment. One thing we started is tokyocafe21.com which is a bitcoin only web store using BTCPay server. We have a group member who roasts coffee beans and sells those through the site. It's a small start, but my dream is to expand into having a farmer sell through the site things like meat, honey, vegetables, fruits. You are right that we need to opt out of the fiat system. The true power of Bitcoin is that it allows plebs to transact with one another without rent seeking parasites extracting the lion's share of the productivity. If anyone is Japan based and is interested in selling goods or services through the site please reach out and let us know.
