Yea, I completely agree with you.
Pessimism is not my intent. My goal is to inspire people to care about this more.... to bring awareness to their own complacency around this important subject. To get Bitcoiners to take a stand a little stronger than the way they're taking now.
For example, I buy eggs from a local sound-money-loving Bitcoiner in my town. I have to go out of my way to arrange to meet just to buy eggs. It's more difficult than going to the grocery store, but it's worth it. These are the little things we all could be doing if we care about what we preach. Some are doing it..... but it's too few to make a difference. We don't need everyone doing it, just a healthy 10-20% of us crazy enough to make our lives a little more difficult by boycotting fiat to the extreme. 1-2% is not enough.
There are enough Bitcoiners to make a difference, but 99% are choosing not to. I think we should be going out of our way to use Bitcoin over fiat ...
I just think more awareness should be given to this subject.
OP's post here brought this rage out of me. Maybe I just needed to vent....
Use Bitcoin when you can. But in my experience... the world will adopt it when it's ready to.
I've done the same, paid for coffee, pizza, beer... a few years ago I wanted to buy some tacos from a place on BTC map and when I wanted to 'pay in the Bitcoin' the employee just laughed at me. They had the payment terminal on an ipad...
But they absolutely couldn't care less, 'it didn't work', and the tacos sucked anyway.
Something I figured I would write on... is how Bitcoin is still "high-powered money" and therefore better for services rather than goods.
Services... includes ideas, innovation, and trust maximization. Like Pay-2-Post. And maybe that's why greater value exchange will happen on Stacker through services... than buying a taco to immediately consume and have it come out the other end.
We can use fiat for that...
