Hey Bitcoiner.... Your incentives are still broken...
685 sats \ 23 comments \ @thecommoner 30 Nov bitcoin
If you spent/spend, a boat load of FIAT or Sats on "stuff"..... your incentives are still broken :(
If you think "black friday" or "holiday sales" are a good time to spend? your incentives are still broken :(
If you are a "Bitcoin" company and you are advertising your "black friday/holiday sales"..... your incentives are still broken....
I don't know much about much....but I know that the above mindset....the above systems....the above thinking.... it is all based in/on the FIAT system(s).
I do know - there are a "shit-load" of "Bitcoiners" that are trying to make Bitcoin fit into the "world-view" they developed over their lifetimes within the old FIAT system and (while they may work or even be "successful" with that model?) it is a model based on "theft" and extraction rather than abundance and cooperation.
Again - I am not the brightest bulb in the box...(likely I am not even in the box)... but please, please, please....
If you have read this post - and you find yourself caught up in the old FIAT mindset.... just think about my words for 5, 10, maybe 15 minutes....play out the future in your mind....try to see what parts of your future life are being built upon the crumbling foundations of the past systems and do everything in your power to change them....
You may find you can simply swap some of those old systems/foundations out for new ones....
You may find - you have to tear down the entire thing and build anew....
Whatever the case - I beg, I plead.... please do the work, your future depends on it

Colleague asked if I'm "ready" for black Friday, which is hilarious in itself. I just said I'm broke because I spend all my extra cash on Bitcoin. She laughed because thought I was a joking.

Some of these companies accept Bitcoin. If you get a discount and spend Bitcoin for something you need, that's a win. You don't have to save every goddamn sat. Bitcoin is money; if money isn't for spending then it isn't money.
Even if you spend in fiat on something you need, the discount can be applied to buying sats.
Where people lose is by buying things they don't need. That applies ALL YEAR LONG.

I agree that getting a discount for spending Bitcoin is better than nothing... Of course I would argue that being able to obtain a % split of any appreciation in FIAT value of your spent sats is a better model...Just saying.

Unless you can participate in sharing any future price appreciation of that Bitcoin....then we win even harder potentially!

You are very right in what you say, knowing Bitcoin should give us a different perspective of the fiat system that we have wanted to escape from, which we know is a fallacy. Bitcoin allows us to have hard money and many times those who consider themselves Bitcoiners say that we should try to fit Bitcoin into the fiat system when it is from there that we should escape.

Well said....
The Bitcoin system can be (when used well) a completely seperate system from that of FIAT. When we realize this and utilize this, it truly is how to win!

Its going well for both my tenant and myself :)
Saving all the sats I can and currently removing the FIAT value of the building and replacing it with the Bitcoin value....which as we all know keeps getting better and better!
The one resident I have has now saved over $1800.00 in USD terms and is about to recognize another $300ish USD tomorrow!
I keep trying to figure out how I am going to get recked and for the life of me....I just can't figure it out... Which makes me wonder why the entire world isn't working this model???

I think if you don't have an extremely powerful post purchase cognative dissonance experience, you won't understand you have to feel the regret of making that purchase that brings you reduced value over time, versus the sats, i made that mistake with the iPhone 7 and it haunts me to this day

It is so, so easy to fall back into the FIAT systems....especially when I can't build all the Bitcoin systems at the same time myself :)
