I smell the same scenario as when WaveCrest was dropped by Visa in 2018 and all the crypto cards disappeared because everyone used the same issuer for all their cards

Those are very solid numbers

Millions in losses are accounting error at their scale. Its the billions that become problematic

well, don't do it then?

do you understand how ridiculous is to ask someone this right? Its like asking which bank does your payment processor deposits your fiat to, everyone would look at you like you're retarded and politely tell you to fuck off.

if you earn/save in bitcoin then you're spending bitcoin because you need to pay for something. and you'll use the method that makes the most sense, if you need to do 4 different steps, dance around with a naked monkey and put a jellybean up your ass to just pay in bitcoin so you can then complain online that a merchant has converted to fiat then it makes no sense

because bullying merchants into accepting bitcoin has never made sense. if we would've focused on the supply part of the problem, creating ways for people to earn bitcoin instead of spend bitcoin the demand part of the problem would be fixed instantly because the market would pull it out of ppl.

you don't want to go through 5 steps to pay with bitcoin because its complicated for you, but nobody ever considers that it might also be annoying for the merchant? likely all his expenses are in fiat, completely possibly that he operates on razor thin margins and needs the liquidity to operate the business, there are many reasons why it doesn't make sense for a merchant to hold bitcoin. theres also many reasons for why it does. But it is completely at their discretion and should make absolutely no difference to the party who is paying to the bitcoin, otherwise they are not paying for a service/product but larping god knows what

i think its a completely misguided line of thinking.

if bitcoin is money, then why do you care what the counterparty to the transaction does with their money after the transaction was complete? You paid for the service/product, if you're satisfied with the transaction thats the end of it. The food doesn't taste better if the sats end up in your favorite brand of hardware wallet. Its not your money anymore. You're not giving away your children for adoption to a good family, you are paying for a service.

Haha they are good enough i just might!

i've been experimenting with using https://jumble.imwald.eu/ with my wot relay (wot.nostr.net) as primary way i interface with nostr on desktop

mostly by life, not by ppl

It didnt show any dupes when i posted it

Black market money.

frequently the cause of similar issues are permanent redirects, tho in this case the output of dev tools in the browser might give some insight into what is happening

also this has about 5% of information actually needed to tshoot things, you haven't even mentioned what are you accessing, which browsers are you using, what kind of network is it, dynamic/static ips, OS you're running on etc

you missed "never enough" option @zuspotirko

Clearly this dude doesnt understand anything about email and very little about bitcoin.

Credentialism makes no sense, but is it worth understanding the fundamentals and how computers and networks work? Yes.
