I’ve heard this narrative that they’ve spent millions of dollars advertising but I’ve literally seen no evidence it’s happening anywhere, not a single contract or announcement. Also, even if they were to use the token, why would that affect the price? You can transmit arbitrary quantities ...

Do you think stablecoins with genius act will play a roll on that?

I was in at $0.30 in 2022 and out by $2. You're holding my bag now, hoping for a number that is probably incredibly unrealistic. You're in a good profit. Don't get greedy, balance your risk. Even 2-300% from this level is insane. There are assets that haven't really moved yet that would net much b...

Bitcoin already replaced SWIFT. This is bad marketing about solving something Bitcoin did 16 years ago. This is a competition for money, and people will choose the hardest (most scarce) money. It’s that simple. Don’t overthink it.

I don't gamble often, but when I do, I put a hard limit on my gambling budget, an amount that I'm OK spending for this entertainment. For a poker night it would be an equivalent of one or two movie tickets, tops. I used to hope that some tokens would 50x my fiat. That was nerve wrecking and addicti...

The new system for global settlement was released January 3, 2009. You may have heard of it.

Why do you own each? What problems are they trying to solve?

It’s fomo both ways. Which will make you sleep better at night? Crystallizing gains in btc? Or gambling with xrp. I once held xrp in 2017. I rode it all the way to $3 and all the way back to .25 cause I thought it was going to $100. Coulda been a lot more bitcoin. And I have no idea about ...

Bro just sell that shit, thank God you didn’t lose all your money and buy bitcoin. Is the most easy decision ever. Remember we are the same ones that told you to put all of your savings around 40k.

There’s not such things as “diversifying”. Everything except from bitcoin is a scam. EVERYTHING INCLUDING ETH,SOL, and every shitcoin.

Convert it to BTC. This is a no brainer. It’s the hardest and soundest money ever.

I used to have XRP. Diversified and waiting for that one to hit big. After reading Digital Gold, The Price of Tomorrow, The Bitcoin Standard and The Fiat Standard, I shut my scrypt miners down and converted everything, including XRP, to BTC, figured out how to self custody and have never looked back...

Bitcoin is the antithesis of fiat currency. Every other "coin" falls somewhere in between. If you want to oppose fiat currency, invest in the original: Bitcoin. If you want to benefit from fiat, use fiat instead of its less secure, less established, and less effective derivatives, aka. shitcoins. ...

Trust your gut. That nagging feeling you have in the back of your mind about XRP is there for a reason. Test the waters and get a little Bitcoin each month. You’ll feel the difference as you stack. Think of Bitcoin as the ultimate savings account and protect your time, energy and purchasing power....

You can't buy nothing with xrp. No one will take it for a house or anything. Maybe but shoot not guaranteed. Bitcoin now everyone will take Bitcoin.

Unless you are certain of the back-end and understand the code of XRP, on which it’s verifiable quality could be based, you should consider it as untrustworthy as anything else in the finance universe. The “greater fool theory” has been with us since time memoriam and I’m not sure it’s g...

Ripple Labs still holds about 46% of all XRP.

Buy. Spend. Replace.

Spend and replace - fosters circular economy and you don’t lose anything

Spend fiat. Hoard Bitcoin. This is the playbook until: 1) legal tender 2) paid in bitcoin only 3) makers of really good stuff refuse fiat

Simple answer: spend bitcoin, replace the bitcoin. Double maxi answer: Borrow fiat against some of your bitcoin, buy more bitcoin with the fiat, spend the bitcoin, pay off the debt with fiat or with bitcoin collateral at a point in time when the dollar price is higher than whwn you opened the loan.

I spend btc and replace because it’s cool and fun. Worth the minimal extra fees to me.

I try to live on a bitcoin standard. Buy bitcoin with all my pay, spend on a cc that rewards in BTC and pay that off with BTC I bought, spend less than I make and let it compound over time

“The Global Free Market will fail if Bitcoin does not become a medium of exchange.” nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe Watch this podcast & then answer your own question. You got this! https://youtu.be/2Vd35J-TA_4?si=YCbXeQazYMTHhfhI My take used to be hodl...

Bitcoin is fuck you money. The government wants me to use dollars and buy bonds because these financial instrument allows the government to fuck me. I want as little dollars as possible because I would rather tell the government, fuck you. I need to eat. Maybe I end up with less bitcoin this way,...

Quite the opposite. Paying with bitcoin is beginning to live in the bitcoin world.

Do what you need to do. Bitcoin is not cheap anymore. Strive to get as much as possible. You will know when you can spend sats. You will just feel it.

If no one spends Bitcoin then its use as a currency dies. It no longer becomes transactional. And therefore worthless. It's little different to fiat in this way. With all money you want to save as much possible, save more than you spend, but if no one ever spends their dollars then they're just us...

If you’re on the Bitcoin standard, all fiat is converted immediately to 🌽

Until merchants offer a financial incentive to pay in Bitcoin rather than fiat, assume they would just prefer fiat. If they prefer fiat, and you prefer Bitcoin, then why fight it?" Just pay in fiat (preferably with a credit card that pays cash rewards - which you can turn into more Bitcoin).

Just don't spend too much, and you'll be fine. That's how I see it. Yes, you'll want to hodl it, and spend very little, but that's the beauty of it. Or you can just purchase and own XMR (like I would like to do) using a decentralized swap.

Spend&replace. Just use the right network 🧡

I guess the counterargument would be that bitcoin derives it’s value by being a peer to peer electronic cash system. You as a bitcoiner carry a certain responsibility to proliferate its use as such. If no one uses it to pay for anything and we all just put it under our mattress, where does btc get...

Bitcoin is useless and worth 0 if you can't spend it without asking permission. It's the duty of all Bitcoiners to support businesses that accept Bitcoin in order to make game theory make other businesses wanting to accept Bitcoin as well. By bootstrapping this circular economy you make Bitcoin m...

If you’re afraid to spend it you haven’t figured out a good way to receive it too. Create your own circular economy. 😉

Give yourself an encouragement to spend it and help create a BTC economy: buy double the amount of what you spend.

If it’s money you have to spend it at some point. Implying you can spend something besides bitcoin means you’re holding fiat and short Bitcoin.

If you can afford to use bitcoin, you should. What we need to push more than anything at this stage is adoption. If you can't afford to use bitcoin, don't. Use fiat, because at least you'll be exchanging a worthless store of value for something else with more utility.
