I think that's my problem.... Bitcoiners aren't even grabbing the low-hanging fruit. Maybe full blown, kinetic revolution is too much to ask.... but can we start demanding that we start doing the easy stuff?
But what about simply patronizing merchants accepting Bitcoin and trying our hardest not to use fiat unless necessary? For example, on BTCmap.org, there is only one restaurant in my large US city accepting Bitcoin. EVERY Bitcoiner in a 20 mile radius should simply REFUSE to go out to eat anywhere else. That restaurant should be swarming with Bitcoiners. But it's not. When we have our monthly Bitcoin meetup at said restaurant, not even the hardcore Bitcoiners there are paying with Bitcoin. Even they take out their fiat plastic to pay. It is shameful.
How many Bitcoiners make regular purchases from merchants on Oshi.tech or Airbtc.com?
In large cities, Bitcoiners could come together to approach local farms/ranches to source produce, dairy, meats. When a large enough group promises they will go direct to source, instead of going to their local grocery store, you can bet the farmers/ranchers will learn how to use Bitcoin.
There's just no urgency in the community to use Bitcoin as a MoE. This strengthens the dollar. Bitcoiners are a bunch of Stockholm Syndrome survivors. They can't seem to understand how bad and dangerous the dollar is, and that its short-term convenience should not be the reason we use it instead of Bitcoin whenever possible.

Exactly that!
I did that with some local farmers. Now they provide me fresh fruits and veggies (in their season) and I pay in sats. P2P. You can find ones near by your location here: https://farmmatch.com/ and https://farmfoodmap-org.vercel.app or whatever other location map with farmers, are many out there.
No bullshit Tether, no bullshit fiat. Just sats.
