Ok will tell you my real life story/experience with BTC.

Some years ago I lived in a big city and I just started with BTC. Then I had a small grocery shop just at my building apartment entrance. A nice pakistani guy running that shop. So one day I convince him to start taking my BTC as payment for my groceries. Then I show him how to use BTC to feed his family in Pakistan. He could share the same BTC wallet with his wife/family, that was exchanging it for local currency and later they find a way to pay with BTC for their some expenses. In that moment the guy started seeing the potential of BTC and he always offer me a 10% discount on EVERYTHING I buy including products that he doesn't have usually in the shop. I just have to tell him "I want that" and he will bring it for me, in exchange for my BTC. I was a happy customer living on BTC for years. This is how you start a circular economy based on BTC. And this should do every bitcoiner in his neighbor, not just hodling his BTC. GET RID OF FIAT MONEY! EVERY DAY YOU USE YOUR BTC AS MONEY IS A DAY WHEN A BANKSTER DIE!
