I'm tired of buying products and services that clearly show how little I mean to the seller. Fortunately, I've been able to replace most of the garbage with better stuff over the past several years. @SoapMiner is one great example. You can tell that the consumer is important because the product is squared away. Good ingredients, packaging, construction, etc. It arrives and all I have to do is wash away the dirty aspects of my own work. The product helps me focus on providing value instead of fixing another broken product. @Ben Justman🍷 and his wine is another. When I need wine, I order his. Why? I don't get headaches. I don't feel like garbage when I drink it. It tastes wonderful. The packaging is beautiful. He doesn't cut corners. He cares about the product, and therefore the consumer. I haven't needed a new wallet yet, but when I do, @Leathermint is on the radar for that. I'm seeing the same good traits in that builder. Alternatives to legacy social media built on #Nostr helped me find these people, making it clear that there's room for a completely parallel world to the fiat system. I don't remember where I was going with this (typical 😂), so thanks to the producers giving me good products. I'm sure there are many others on Nostr that I'm unaware of or haven't purchased from yet.

Fiat forces most people to cheat to get ahead. With bitcoin, a low time preference, and morals, we can all build the world we want to live in. Bitcoin demands quality, otherwise, why spend it? I know it sounds cliche, but... You don't change bitcoin, it changes you.
Fiat is actually what changes people into unnatural beings. All Bitcoin really does is purify us back down into what we actually are; creative, intelligent beings who are rewarded for virtue and punished for bad action. Fiat perverts that natural state and flips the results. So really, Bitcoin is only changing me back into what I was born to be.
