Perhaps the real Bitcoin Standard is to surround yourself with honest and kind people, and then everyone works together towards a better future. I don't see any problem if someone makes wonderful things, then you pay in cash. However, something feels off if you pay Bitcoin for junk. Like what's the point of paying sats for fiat food? It's not about being able to pay in sats, it's about *what you're getting* and Bitcoin is only acting as the exchange medium. The finest money deserves the finest things, IMHO.

Only put what you are willing to lose in banks.

I was speaking to a friend last night: if you are running a small business, usually people will pay via their bank. There are several issues with this, which many people do not see or understand. Firstly, the payment processor takes around 3%. Then, if you transfer the money to your local bank, another fee applies. Then, if you want to exchange the fiat currency into something else, another fee is incurred. Basically endless fee. This is also before talking about inflation. Now, if people pay in BTC, the fees are so low, and it's instant with Lightning. Waking up today, someone paid me in Lightning. Such a nice way to start the day! One last thing: it is a JOY to create products and then sell them for sats. You control everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Your labor, your rules.

I find it increasingly difficult to go around without seeing Bitcoin. 🤔

Commitment is hard but that's what truly brings joy in life.

What are some of the things you own that could potentially be passed down to future generations? Besides Bitcoin.

It's not about living in which country but about crafting your own networks with people you can trust, which makes life so much easier.
