I completely understand that we aren't going to force people to change their unit of account overnight. I think the book "When Money Dies" addresses this.
But the majority of Bitcoiners use that fact as an excuse to be complacent in their own lives.
As @DarthCoin suggests in his post, boycotts DO work, and have worked throughout history. We don't need to "force" them, but we sure as hell could be doing more to boycott them.
We could be "opting out" of fiat by putting our efforts into creating our own circular economies with supply chains that don't use fiat. Instead, most of our efforts go into fiat-supporting, "financial" activities. Strike, Blockstream, Strategy.... all doing more for the fiat system than they are for Bitcoin. Seriously. And I think that is the point of Darth's post.
We aren't going to force "them", but why aren't we forcing ourselves? We know better, yet we don't change.
I'd encourage you to read the rest sometime.
I can't read ANYTHING that start by the word "stablecoin".
That is pure shitcoinery I will always reject it by all means.
Bitcoin circular economy do not include any form of stablecoins. Is pure Bitcoin.
Start your argument with other aspects and maybe I will read it.
Read again my warning: stablecoins are fiat maxis dream. So fuck'em !
CONSISTENCY IS ALL THAT MATTER.
BITCOIN ONLY.
STABLECOINS ARE NOT BITCOIN.
You use only CCs you blatant hypocrite NSA spook.
You are not allowed yo use Bitcoin.
Your NSA handler banned you from using sats.
@DarthCoin is a fraud and traitor.
I'd encourage you to read the rest sometime. You're simply not going to force people to change something as fundamental as their unit of account overnight, so the options are then either (1) try and convince them over time to do so (brutally difficult), or (2) provide a solution that accommodates that fundamental need in a way that gets more people onto the network and increases demand for BTC the asset. I think both are worth trying.
And to be clear (since you didn't read it), I think centralized stables like Tether are indeed dangerous, but that's not what I'm suggesting as a potential solution here.
