I Quit the Euro. Here’s How I Live 100% on Bitcoin.bringin.xyz/?utm_source=stackernews&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=pb_nuno_bringin&utm_content=quit

At the beginning of this year, I made a decision.
To move away from inflation. To move away from politicians. To move away from chaos and uncertainty.
I decided to quit the euro — and start saving my time and energy in a form of money that’s immune to it all.
I went all in on Bitcoin.
People often ask: “But Nuno, how do you pay for stuff? Food, rent, bills?”
Simple.
Whenever I find a merchant that accepts Bitcoin, I pay with a Lightning wallet.
For everything else — where Bitcoin isn’t accepted yet — I use Bringin, the complete Bitcoin app.
I convert the amount I need into euros (via Lightning or SEPA) and spend it anywhere Visa is accepted, using my Bringin physical or virtual card.
The best part: I can connect my own Lightning node to Bringin.
That gives my node superpowers — I can pay directly from my node, or instantly convert sats to euros using Lightning, and spend them anywhere.
Doesn’t matter if the merchant accepts Bitcoin or not. With Bringin, my node can pay anyone, anywhere.

Cool but you should really be trying to use cash before bringing bringin into it
By buying cash (eg at meetups) you are helping others to build non kyc btc stacks
By spending cash you are single handedly fighting back against banksters and government surveillance

Yes I do, but that's the way I have to to keep all my savings on sound money.
I keep trying to orange pill every merchant I use, I got already two, but my landlord, the supermarket, the gas station, the subway are hard to get them.

Then better find a nocoiner friend that is willing to pay your bills in fiat and get your sats. In this way you help him and he help you. But never sell back your sats for fiat on open market. Those sats will end up in Saylors hands. Create the Bitcoin Circular Economy first.
Reminder: how banks are creating fiart money... with your OWN signature. Every time you request fiat from a bank, you are creating more fiat with your request.
Simply by going to a merchant and just pay with Bringin, without even trying to pay with BTC, you are literally supporting that merchant to keep using fiat. Do it the way around: boycott those and use only the ones that accept BTC.
Using Bringin ism not "I live 100% on Bitcoin". Is a lie. yes, could be a temporary trick to pay some urgent bills, but is NOT "living on Bitcoin".

100% agree with everything you said.
And that's is something I use to do as well, however the problem is when I need instant fiat liquidity and I only have Bitcoin.
Might change that for saving 100% on Bitcoin.

You realize that by using Bringin, you actually go back to fiat? So you are NOT leaving fiat for Bitcoin... You are leaving fiat, when you convince all merchants around you to take your sats directly.
Doesn’t matter if the merchant accepts Bitcoin or not.
It really matter. Boycott all the merchants that reject your sats!
