they accept sir, I bought two negronis with sats :)
DIY is great, but I don't think it would ever be mainstream.
Long time ago, Darth once told me that we should use the power of custodial to attract more people to the system, get them to know and them BAM! you catch them because, going down in the rabbit hole, that's gonna happen.
This is just me but I never met (until today) a bitcoiner (maxi or not) that started with custodial and kept it with something related to that. Most people that take their economy by their own hands, ends with HW (Trezor, Ledger, etc) or self-custodial wallets.
So, IDK..mainstream? maybe not but mainstream for graduate your bitcoin class (aka take the orange pill)? It's something that I had in my head for a long time.
I would also like to add one more sir:
L253 - Salvadoran debate about the first 3 years of bitcoin implementation https://fountain.fm/episode/AvXVNhnUZLl5LjFXsxQn
Also, some remarks about those journeys and this last one.
Salvadorans themselves openly say that the government improvised the entire operational plan from start to finish.
✏️ Bukele found in Bitcoin a tool to avoid negotiating with the IMF, and the IMF simply waited for the right moment and, with two words, shut down a legal game that should never have existed. Bitcoin grows through use, not through force.
✏️ They introduced a currency to a population without digitalization, and the little digital knowledge that existed mimicked the usual model — people wanted to convert their satoshis to USD. At what point did they think it was a good idea to tell a population without resources and highly volatile in economic terms to save 30 USD a month?
🧐 Politicization is inevitable. Today, if you say El Salvador, it's no longer associated with the maras M13, but with Bukele or Bitcoin. This speeds up political reactions and makes many actors equate Bitcoin with a tyrannical ruler like Bukele.
🫡 For Bitcoin to work, it depends on one thing we do at Stacker and others places: education, and showing people the brutal advantages of using Lightning Network or Bitcoin, not through some lousy law.
Thank you @lunaticoin for your content

The BIS is just like the UN in the sense that it's another avenue through which the US/Fed can implement global policy.
Yes, one of their arms is IMF which implement dollarization policies. Argentina, El Salvador and other countries in south follow these policies but all them lead us to the biggest: BIS/Federal Reserve.
Now...about the title, it's my way to make fun of bitcoiners who bought sats just because they had some hopes for Trump.
