his wrong take is because he supposedly "live on bitcoin" but using gift cards bought with BTC.
THAT IS NOT LIVING ON BITCOIN. You are just faking it. You are always going back to fiat by using those methods (or the so called "bitcoin VISA debit cards).Living on Bitcoin is when you are surrounded by people, merchants accepting directly your sats and most of them do not go back and sell them for fiat.
A merchant that will sell all his sats back for fiat it not counts as "bitcoin merchant", just another speculator, fiat lover. If you as bitcoiner, convince a merchant to take your sats but they stills ell back those sats for fiat, it is YOUR fault not explaining it well.
It is all about to create that circular economy AROUND YOU.
I agree with this Sir Darth.
In my humble opinion just 'buying the giftcards' may be a way to trade sats for a giftcard... but it is preferable to actually spend the bitcoin directly on goods and services.
