Happy #BitcoinWhitePaperDay. Today, remember the title and original vision of #Bitcoin and #BTC : a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Yes, Bitcoin has a store of value use, but it is money. Let’s let the sats flow, and build local Bitcoin circular economies and a global BTC circular economy. Buy (ie, exchange fiat for BTC), spend (ie, spend your BTC), replace (ie, exchange more fiat for BTC to replace what you just spent).
