I say different versions of this a lot! The people who hoard and never spend Bitcoin are missing the point.

I'll be devils advocate. I sleep peacefully knowing I won't have to touch my corn unless I want to, that I have enough fiat coupons to handle my fiat obligations.(most times) I'd rather support bitcoin accepting companies, then sell for fiat(unfortunately does happen sometimes) If you never use yo...

There’s this ultra spiritual phase that some Bitcoiners go through that is very weird and culty. “I don’t care about the price it doesn’t matter.” Uhh tf you mean? That’s the most important thing. That’s why we’re here. If the price doesn’t go up, we don’t win shit. Nobody adopts...

Theyl take their bitcoin to the grave.

Bitcoin's massive innovation is it has potential to be simultaneously the best Store of Value and Medium of Exchange. If it can achieve both, it becomes the best money known to man. Fiat paper bills are a great MoE but terrible SoV. Gold is a great SoV but certainly not the best MoE. Hodl establis...

Good point. Agree to that. You can always spent some otherwise Satoshi failed.

💯 agree… If you only HODL, then you’ve never used bitcoin as money… as intended by Satoshi… To each his own, as I used to be in the HODL-only group until I eventually studied bitcoin enough to understand its original purpose and the power of using money not controlled by the state… L...

If you aren't spending your bitcoin, you don't have enough bitcoin

Spend Bitcoin don’t sell it. Unless you have no other way but to spend in cuckbucks on that item. But that’s ultimately just spending. If you’re selling bitcoin to buy back lower, gfy

Spend and replace

You can’t call yourself a Bitcoiner if you can’t spend and replace when you come across a merchant that accepts.

What if paid in fiat? Do u immediately buy corn and the try to pay bills in bitcoin? Or pay all bills in fiat, then stack savings every pay period to cold storage?

i wanna use as much freedom money in my lifetime / before it is too cucked.

Fact

it only feels like hodl only because i comparably dont spend much money anymore

Now: hodl is the way to go. One day it will change but till then I hodl as hard as I can.

There is Bitcoiners and then there is Bitcoin holders. They're not the same.

I just don't buy anything.

I don’t want to live in a lie. I live on a ₿ standard.
