daily spending matters most, even if you’re a long-term hodler: more usage strengthens Bitcoin’s resilience, decentralization, political relevance, and value (edited) discovery
Something that I thought of recently, a lot a lot of my friends who aren't into Bitcoin but they're techies; Silicon Valley people, not into Bitcoin. They just they think that Bitcoin, at least as everyday currency, has failed, but also that it's over. Like: it had its moment, and it should have caught on. Their mentality is like back in 2013 or 2014 the first wave of excitement of Bitcoin payments - at least in Silicon Valley - didn't take off then and it should. And if it was as great of a technology or promising of money as as everyone is talking about then it would have taken off back then; they just write it off.
Well, there's a little more to it, right?
With the Square launch and there's going to be stickers on windows that show the Bitcoin symbol next to Visa, Mastercard, and Apple Pay. And even if no one is actually making Bitcoin payments, normal people will see that sticker in the window and then they will think:

"Oh, it has arrived. People are paying in Bitcoin. It is everyday money."


I really like this.

I'm going to listen to this later. Hopefully Square will be opening LN payments in Australia soon.
