I'm new here so i just want to introduce myself , this one topic is very dear to me I'm ₿/LTN node runner, home miner so I'm sharing my opinions , first of all i call it ₿itconomy I just like the sound of it ... The circular economy works only if we can spends our ₿ amongst ourselves as a community and show the rest of the world it works and it has real benefits
Every time a Bitcoiner buys something from another Bitcoiner in sats, we shrink the fiat system by one transaction, every time we route around banks, payment processors, and middlemen we're not just saving fees, we're demonstrating that an alternative exists. Using services that convert your fiat into ₿ is convenient but nothing is better than sats only transactions , buy ₿ at an exchange spend it with your favorite wallet that's it ..
The problem: we can't build a circular economy if there's nowhere to spend our sats or if it isn't accessible to the masses , we have many businesses accepting ₿ as a form of payment owned by bitcoiners like us , thanks to the square terminal the option is there however most businesses don't even know about it , it's up to us not only to use these terminals but also to start a conversation
We need markets, real ones Where Bitcoiners sell to Bitcoiners p2p where Lightning invoices replace credit card terminals and the price is quoted in sats, not converted from dollars.
Club Orange is doing a great job connecting businesses and bitcoiners , there are plenty of ₿ friendly businesses all we need to do is support them and show the world it works before asking them to join, it's definitely a process that is going to take a long time, it might take a whole generation but we will get there I am doing my small part , we can grow one transaction at the time
