stopped using my bank account in early 2021. Since then I've been paid in Bitcoin, and it's been quite the journey. I knew that eventually my bank accounts would fail me as I travelled the world and moved countries, and eventually in late 2022 I got locked out. Not a big deal, I closed both accounts I had shortly after.

I fear there are way too few of us, the "buy and hodl" meme is too strong and Bitcoin is failing as a currency. I don't think Bitcoin can do well as "digital gold", mainly because I think gold is an absolute failure, too. I would love to use Bitcoin more, but at times I feel a bit alone in that struggle.
