I’m no longer buying Bitcoin.
488 sats \ 33 comments \ @Jimmyhoneyalchemist 5 Aug bitcoin
I’m only going to earn it. It’s not enough just to buy Bitcoin. You need to learn how to work with it. You need to acquire a skill or provide a service for the benefit of yourself and the community.
Have fun staying poor is such a cunt thing to say. Be humble and stack sats is a far more noble approach to take. So every time some zaps my articles that is where I am earning my crust.
I sold all my Bitcoin last year and it was one of the greatest decision I have ever made because it was Bitcoin bought not Bitcoin earned. I’m a finally aligning with my higher self, my true self and I have never felt more free.
I hope everyone has a fantastic day.

I was wondering if you were still alive. I was going to @ you in one of my posts. If you haven’t realised yet I am a mad man. I may be a fool and crazy but I am not stupid.

Out of curiosity, you sold your bitcoin for what?

I wish you luck.
who did you sell it to?
have you figured out how you intend to replace it?
what are you going to buy with your fiat?

This post makes me so happy.
I'm in the same boat. I was laid off from my corporate job recently. I refuse to work for dollars from this point forward.
Sure, I have the privilege of being able to be selective because I have savings. But I still expect it to be a difficult thing. I'm going out of my way because I believe fiat is the most evil thing on this planet.
I will be working for Bitcoin ONLY from now on. I buy from merchants who accept and hold Bitcoin, and I boycott those who only accept fiat.
If only 10% of us did this, the world would change for the better.

Sorry for your job loss. That’s terrible. I will say that I’m seeing more and more mentions of layoffs and it’s worrisome. Good on you for being true to your convictions in Bitcoin. That takes a lot of courage and I believe in you. Truly. You’re a stranger but I don’t care.
If I could ask one thing of you it would be to document your journey to inspire the rest of us because maybe we can get to that 10%.
Stay strong.

I get what you’re saying but every single sat I have bought has been earned. I, like many others, work really hard and just because we get paid in fiat it doesn’t take anything away that we buy our sats.

Sorry, but this is dumb. People "buying" Bitcoin are earning it... They are converting it from fiat earned...not sure the point of this post.

How are you going to get bitcoin once it has all been mined and your countries currency is has been hyper inflated or collapsed? You need to have a skill or offer a service you can’t just rely on buying bitcoin and holding it. Maybe you can if you got in early but not everyone was able to do that…

With a job or a gig you are provided value/compensation for your efforts, can be in the form of BTC directly or Fiat that is then converted. Even in places of hyper inflation there are still fiat jobs that then people save in BTC. What you are simply referring to is being self employed more so then just only "earning in BTC". Again, my point is, based on your post, there is no fundamental difference between doing a job and earning BTC directly or earning a Fiat wage and converting your earnings by buying BTC with that wage.
Edit: Also, every person person currently alive will be dead by the time the last BTC is mined in 2140 or whatever. BTC is always available, it's just about what price in a Fiat currency you need to pay to get it. But again, BTC is a savings technology to save the value you create today for a future day, even if that value is 500 sats.

There are very few avenues to earn bitcoin. I'd like to know of places that pay bitcoin. But nothing stops a person from saving a part of their income/salary received in fiat, and convert it to bitcoin every month.

There are very few avenues, because there are very few of us demanding it. Bitcoiners today appear to be fiat-maxis when closely observed. If we lived what we preach, we would inconvenience ourselves in the pursuit of ending fiat, the way OP is.

People need to start demanding to be paid in Bitcoin or if you have your own business offer discounts or bonus’s for paying with Bitcoin.

People need to start charging with Bitcoin for there skills for example if you are plumbing offer 10% off when you pay with Bitcoin for example.

Did you pay taxes on your sold Bitcoin? Do you pay income tax on sats earned? We will never separate money and state it we obey their "laws". Buying, selling, earning or spending Bitcoin - nothing is enough if it is taxed. Fuck slavery. Only undergound, only hardcore.

That's so good to hear! Congrats in starting this new chapter of your life. I'm sure it will be much more than rewarding. Earning sats is the best way to receive value, mostly because you are also creating value for other with your skills, products, and services.
Let us everyone know what you got for us, share it in the ~AGORA marketplace.

It sounds like you've had a profound journey with Bitcoin—from buying it to realizing the importance of earning or creating value aligned with your principles. Your shift from "buying" to "earning" (whether through skills, services, or contributions) reflects a deeper understanding of financial and personal sovereignty
