What is "Bitcoin Standard" for you, as a real bitcoiner?

318 sats \ 9 comments \ @DarthCoin 6 Aug 2022 bitcoin

For me, after 10+ years using BTC, a Bitcoin standard is when you actually:

earn BTC, doing work/selling stuff, reject fiat at all means
hodl BTC as savings economy (save and spend wisely)
spend BTC because: 1) you don't have anymore fiat, 2) fuck banks 3) help bitcoin merchants 4) create bitcoin circular economy

bitcoin standard means bitcoin first. I more or less agree with your three points, though I don't yet earn in BTC. I look forward to that one day. Y'all let me know if you want to pay for your yacht repairs in bitcoin :)

I don't actually have that business up and running yet, but I work towards it. (I currently work in a shipyard that does not accept bitcoin as payment.)

That sounds reasonable.

FWIW: Obi mentioned two useful metrics to assess how close is the community towards being on Bitcoin Standard.

A real bitcoiner? WTF is that?

A Bitcoin Standard that we all have to conform to sounds like the hellscape we have at present.
