This.
What is it going to take to get Bitcoiners to wake up and actually start changing the world?
I get that it's not easy right now, but it feels like these larping "maxis" are working harder on getting their fiat debit cards than they are getting off fiat. The Bitcoin community looks rotten right now and I'm pissed about it.

But you see them saying "nobody in my neighborhood is accepting bitcoin...".
FFS of course the merchants will never accept your bitcoin if you always go to them with a fucking visa card. They will never know you have bitcoin to pay.

Those are the kinds of industries that will be very last to get off fiat. So, it's okay to continue using fiat with them, for a while.
These kinds of movements happen with a domino affect. Start with the small merchants.... mom-and-pop, brick & mortar.... and this will force the suppliers of those shops to consider making the switch.... which will force larger institutions and countries to make the switch eventually.
The problem is, no one is really even pushing the smallest dominos to fall. Bitcoiners have to be willing to boycott some merchants, and go out of their way to support others. We have to start small.... we can't go after the big oil companies first. That will come later.
So, pay for gas with fiat now.... but go out of your way to find local farmers accepting Bitcoin for produce & meats.
With so many Bitcoiners using "bitcoin" debit/credit cards, I'm doubtful this revolution is ever going to even get off the ground. We're playing right into the hands of the central bankers while we larp about taking down fiat. As a community, we are not angry enough about fiat. We're too comfortable sleeping with the enemy. It's that simple.

Exactly.
If we don't start a war with the central banks, then we will never win a war against the central banks.
Trojan Horse theory can only get us so far. Eventually, enough of us have to just say NO to fiat, even if it (temporarily) makes our lives inconvenient.
I've tried getting off fiat.... but it's really tough because even the Bitcoiners around me aren't very supportive. This goal would not be very hard to achieve if we actually tried. There are enough Bitcoiners in my town that we could create a real circular economy. But they aren't very interested. Just NGU for 99% of them. Fucking unbelievable.

With the Fold credit card, if you opt for the annual fee (or monthly payment), you’ll receive a 2% cash back card. Alternatively, you could consider the Fidelity Visa or the Citi Double Cash Back card, which offers the same rate with no fees.
If you’re not a Fold + member, you’ll earn 1.5% cash back, which is comparable to the Capital One 1.5% Cash Back Visa card.
Ultimately, the decision comes down to your preference for receiving cashback in Bitcoin and supporting a Bitcoin company or using alternative cards with no fees.

Digging deeper into the blog post about it, it appears that spending on the card contributes to their ACH bill pay reward program. Essentially, you can earn between 0.25% and 1.5% extra if you pay your bills using Fold.
I’ve added myself to the waitlist.
Cheap plug.
