There is a saying that goes "HE WHO LOOKS TO A GOOD TREE, FIND A GOOD SHADE". So I always seek to learn from people who I think are good at what they do. On my very short trip down the rabbit hole I have read a lot of information produced by many good Bitcoiners. Today, like every day I was reading a post about the 8 important rules of Bitcoin adoption, made by @DarthCoin, #735878, on a post by Parman on X. I was also reading about the dilemma of Bitcoin adoption, a post made by @CarlBMenger, #201172, where the need to spend Bitcoin for the adoption of the same is exposed, with all the logic in the world, without that contradicting Parman's Rule #4.
But in all this reading I have a doubt: IS THERE ANY LOGIC IN SOMEONE WHO SEEKS THE FREEDOM OF BITCOIN AND CONSIDERS HIMSELF A BITCOINER USING FIAT CRAP TO BUY ANOTHER SHITCOIN, WHATEVER IT MAY BE?
I don't see much logic in it, I don't even see much logic in some BITCOINER playing the stock market using Bitcoin and in that way violating rule #4.
But well, that's my doubt, I'm not judging anyone. Everyone is free to do whatever they want. Maybe I'm wrong in my reasoning. But being a Bitcoiner with Shitcoins is a bit incongruous.
Bitcoin is bitcoin. All the other coins, call them what you will, have never lived up to bitcoin. That is why it still reigns today.

My question arises from this research on Bhutan. If they have Bitcoin mining, WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY HAVE ETH OR THE OTHER CRAP THEY HAVE IN THEIR PORTFOLIO FOR?
"In addition to Bitcoin, the Kingdom of Bhutan also owns around $1.5 million dollars in Ethereum, the second most important cryptocurrency in the market, and smaller amounts in other cryptoassets, such as The Sandbox (SAND) and Polygon (MATIC). "
But that is not just Bhutan's portfolio, in the end they do not define themselves as Bitcoiners, they are just accumulating real money, but it is that MANY "BITCOINERS" have similar portfolios.
DOES THAT MAKE ANY LOGIC?

I can see some business owners accepting shitcoins, and then offering a discount for bitcoin lightning transactions.

If you shitcoin never advertise that you are using a shitcoin. Get wrecked. Loose some of your energy and make sure that whatever you spend in fiat to acquire Bitcoin you never spend more on schemes, shitcoins or any other nonsense. I wasted thousands of USD on stupid shit that if I had just learned about the boss (Bitcoin) I would not have to work so hard today. So be it.
So that's what happened to me. I wasted a lot of time and energy trying to game the system and get rich when I would have made a hell of a lot more value in my life had I focused on the real currency that all the others wanted to usurp.
To put it bluntly in 2013 I ran Bitcoin Core and gave up because I thought I could just hack the shit and get coins. Nope. In 2017 a friend asked me to investigate Bitcoin with him and I said, "No, It's a waste of time.... Bla Bla Bla and why would anyone pay $300 for a bitcoin? Then in 2019 I got a shitcoin via Keebase and I thought that I should investigate this. I did and I wasted a lot of time. in 2020 I started reading Bitcoin books and I still tried to get easy ways to acquire bitcoin and I lost more. Finally at the end of 2020 I became a Maxi.
I'm still an idiot but I'm not shitcoining.
