mode hodling -> less trading

You recommended some material, I went and read it.

Still blog-spam.

No quality content there.

You call me troll I call you a self-promoting narcissist that has nothing to add to the conversation.

Your blog is a mix of bad advice and topics explored by twitter bitcoiners for years.

So I went to this magical blog of this guy.

In one of his guides he actually recommend TBC as a valid option (!).

But the the main solution proposed there is to ship yourself inside a Cargo Shipping Container to El Salvador to live there. Yeah for real.

Be careful who you take advice from.

🥱

also you didn't respond OP question.

oh I get it now you are the micro-celeb that made 0,005 btc on some news site, we may as well stop discussing interesting topics an go read a blog.

I think I stumbled upon 1 or 2 of your articles, you are not an original thinker to me as you may believe.

I see them as transitional companies, It help people to transition.

What's your proposed solution to interacting by fiat merchants?

Also "did you read my guides?" blog-spam to doesn't help the conversation.

You can buy prepaid visa cards, amazon giftcards and a bunch of others with BTC in "The Bitcoin Company" app, for example.

Ok so I do use this account, here is some additional information for those interested:

The company has a long story. It was funded by Wenceslao Casares in 2013 and owns a military bunker for cold storage on Switzerland (look it up).

Also the accounts are insured by Gibraltar up to 100k EUR.

Accounts are in USD, but funded in BTC, EUR, GBP, or USDT/USDC (ERC20 sadly).

You earn 4% on sats yearly paid daily for your savings in fiat.

Other perks you get is you have an unlimited international Visa debit card (1.1% cashback in sats) without limit - the limits is your deposits.

You can buy btc from the app and send to your CW, also you can pay with lightning up to 100 USD per transaction.

Keep in mind that the account costs 150 USD / year to maintain. So you will have to deposit minimum 4k USD to cover the costs (or use the debit card for travels, online purchases, etc).

"The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust."

well you will need to id people to be able to handle it then

well this forum is anonymous so you wouldn't know, unless you start requiring id's to join

it’s not foreign, it’s delusional - the dude that took the sats with him disagrees with your “community” assumptions

this is a news site, with open comments, and random actors

so you are advocating trust

next step: we need a central authority to control funds and reverse transactions

we are trying to adopt a trustless system, so if you made a mistake and the part that received the funds is adversarial you should take the loss - you can appeal to “community”, guilt or whatever you like, but there is nothing you can do to enforce a refund

“move fast and break things” works for fiat, not for bitcoin

he should keep them, if you adhere to bitcoin philosophy you need to keep in mind that transactions are irreversible and mistakes are costly - devs: move slower and test your code

no, the ones I’ve seen required KYC

The current developers of room temperature semiconductors (LK-99), today one Chinese lab announced that they were able to replicate the experiment.

If true this will change all electronics, batteries, electric engines, etc. And probably create another technological revolution akind to the semiconductor.
