412 sats \ 4 replies \ @DarthCoin 18h \ on: Hodling doesn't help your fork win bitcoin
Hoarding Fallacy is what I was trying to tell you for long time. To you and other sttakers here, that still want to use fiat, take loans in fiat with collateral BTC, using VISA cards "loaded with BTC" etc...
For more you use fiat, you keep it stronger. I know is not easy to "not use fiat", but each one of us must make some sacrifices in our life in order to achieve that freedom we all dream about.
And here is a great scene from Andor that describe perfectly the situation:
And what do you sacrifice?
Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I’ve given up all chance at inner peace. I’ve made my mind a sunless space.
I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion, I’m damned for what I do.
My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet.
What is my sacrifice? I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude.

So what do I sacrifice? Everything! You’ll stay with me, Lonni. I need all the heroes I can get.

I've sacrificed almost everything in my life for Bitcoin.

I've made my mind a sunless space.
Another person has told me to watch Andor. This is very compelling.
Conducting trade in bitcoin is how we win.

I've made post after post about this exact issue. Hodling is OK but ultimately it's not enough... Using Bitcoin is where the magic happens because it is so much more important than fiat.

yes! It takes a while to click -- at least for me it did.

As far as I can tell from my limited viewpoint, most who dream of freedom do make those sacrifices.
But also most self-proclaimed bitcoiners don't dream of freedom. Instead, they dream of being rich in fiat terms. And since they're being told (and readily believe) that the existing fiat-rich achieved it through the various fiat games you mentioned, they try to bring those over to "the bitcoin ecosystem". As if calling it an ecosystem makes those fiat games any more smart or even natural.
