Any good starting points on how to get started in the BTC circular economy? That's the part I'm most unsure about: how to get to the point of actually earning sats and using them to pay for important stuff like food / energy / housing / insurance etc. (instead of earning fiat, using that to stack sats as a better store of value and not actually spending them) 

 We are doing our bit in the UK with @Bridge 2 Bitcoin 

Onboarding new businesses daily.

 Really interesting. How do you persuade them to accept bitcoin? There has to be a benefit for them, otherwise they're not interested. 

 More customers. 

They accept bitcoin and bitcoiners will come and spend bitcoin in their store. It’s simple and free. 

They tap into a new customer base by accepting the customers chosen currency. 

We then tell the Bitcoin community about them and the Bitcoin network grows a little bit larger. 

 Thank you. That is indeed a great benefit. Do businessess (also) find it a benefit to save in bitcoin? 

 Thanks @CarlBMenger for the reminder:
✔️ 1. stack sats 
✔️ 2. run a node
✅ 3. promote circular economy

 STAY HUMBLE AND STACK ZAPS 

 A small group of committed individuals can change the world, and they don’t have to burn anything or anyone down in the process. 

- Stack Sats. 
- Run a #Bitcoin Node.
- Promote a #Bitcoin circular economy. 

Every single one of us has the power to make the world a better place. 

 Then you buy a house with bitcoin. The government says the house is not yours. How do you go about enforce your property right?  

 by defunding the government first  

 Dunno. Money is a source of power for government, but, so is force. I tend to believe a free community must have some kind of dissuasion system as well. 

 Of course but how does the government pay its enforcers? 

It’s all economics 

 read The Machiavellians 

 Indeed!! 

 Very well said

 There is a circular economy in Costa Rica already. Everybody is using custodial wallets, most use the same custodial wallets.

How exactly does this change the world? Is it not only replacing one trusted third party by another third party?

Serious question.
