This isn't a complaint against those who don't use Bitcoin, but rather those who only hoard it instead of stocks, gold, or real estate. Nevertheless, if the rest of us don't start using Bitcoin for daily purchases, it may eventually lose its value. We can use Bitcoin as daily currency via Lightning, Liquid, on-chain (for larger transactions), gift cards like Bitrefill, or credit cards such as Xapo Card, Bringin, Bitrefill, and more. Volatility is not an issue if you frequently convert fiat to Bitcoin and hold it for the long term. It even presents lending opportunities when Bitcoin has a deep dip. A great alternative to credit cards. As you see, my Xapo Mastercard is well used image
Use Bitcoin as money. Convert from fiat, save some, and spend the rest directly with a Bitcoin-linked debit card, Bitrefill, gift cards or similar. Don’t let the rich convince you Bitcoin is an β€œasset”. It is money – fair money. This is not financial advice, it is an ethical advice. 😊

When you stack BTC hard, you also need to send some back to your fiat currency account or pay with a credit card. For Europeans, Bringin.xyz is a good solution.

Yesterday, I finally did something I've been thinking about for a long time. I deactivated my X account. I opened it many years ago to read news, but I ended up leaving because it's a platform that has a lot of fake news, so X is out. Now, I'm left with Nostr, where at least there are real people (I think), and traditional news channels that, despite everything, are easier to filter out what's fake and what's manipulated.
God has given us a paradise here on earth, but we humans are destroying it with our wickedness and selfishness. I am deeply despaired about the world as we have shaped it – with war, pollution, and foolishness. Can we ever break free from this self-destructive path, or is the Earth already exhausted from all we have done to it? Reference: Psalm 104:14 (NIV) - "He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivateβ€”bringing forth food from the earth: wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart."
