That's not what Jack is doing. He's got his own credit card and he pays his bill by exchanging Bitcoin at the payment point.
I understand what you are getting at here but you are telling us that you never use Fiat? I don't believe you.
Not one service you are using is denominated in the Fiat economy?
If this is the case then you are using another human as a mule to engage services. That includes Stacker News who pay thier bills in Texas in Fiat.
I live only using BTC from 2018...
Why? Because with hard work and dedication I find a way to be surrounded by bitcoin merchants. I convinced them, I helped them.
I closed the fiat bank accounts long time go.
This is the trick that people still don't get it: get onboard as many merchants you can in your local area.
I don't believe you.
I don't need you to believe me. I just do it and I am happy.
Was it easy to achieve this level? Hell no! years and years of preparations and hard work. And now I just enjoy it.
But that doesn't mean people should not try it.
Using these solutions that are nothing more than "paypal over LN" is not the way forward. It just perpetuate the existence of fiat.

Strike is great for people who live outside of your carefully cultivated reality. How would you handle retirement accounts of people who get government checks and need to eat and pay their bills?
You would show them a bridge solution like Strike. PayPal does not handle Lightning or Bitcoin.
A retired, fixed income person can hedge against inflation using Strike.
You are not going to help those people if they can not bridge the gap.

You will never have bitcoin adoption with old people.
I have a simple question for you: do you want to continue living in a fiat world?
reply
That's a very good question. That answer is that I'm not wasting time in anyone who isn't interested.
If a mature person is interested then I will invest my time in that person. They have children and grandchildren.
The young people in my family are not interested. They are caught in the nonsense. I'm 54 and I I'm not spending time on people who want to argue or are brain dead.
