Using a 3rd party to convert your bitcoin to dollars and send DOLLARS to your counterparty achieves nothing other than enriching that company with fees and hidden spreads. Hence LARPing vs doing that service yourself.
Do not be so weak that a mere picture of the sith makes you crumble to your knees.
Yes agree with that. I posted the link for all those crying that they can't use their sats to pay rent.
btw, I don't want you to bend the knee before me... I don't care. I care only about bitcoin use in this fucked up world.
you can just use fiat payment rails
that sounds even worse... is total fiat mindset. You literally keep alive the fiat system.

These services ARE FIAT, with a wrapper on top. You cannot get around that.
Store of value and STANDARD of value/contract are what bring adoption for the most part.

Yes are fiat services. I agree with that.
Are the same as I do for many years:
- I have a friend that wants bitcoins
- I gave him bitcoins and in exchange he's paying some of my fiat bills.
I am happy that that he gets rid of his fiat and remain with my BTC.
That means I use "bad rails of fiat"? No, not at all, is even better because my friend take my BTC.
Same with these "services", they remain with part of my BTC. So is still a win and a start of bitcoin circular economy.

If they want to keep some of the bitcoin, they will probably not use these tools. Maybe some of them keep part in bitcoin, but most autoconvert 100% to fiat.
