 Do you ever mention buying gift cards with Bitcoin? Can be awkward.

 I try not to as well. Normies tend to over-appreciate the MoE role of money and under-appreciate SoV, so if they hear I mostly have to used gift cards, they mentally check out. I always steer it back to basics of SoV, what is money, etc.

 They think it has to be a MoE *first* and that it’s stuck in a chicken and egg problem. So to them, gift cards is an admission of defeat. We’re talking real Stockholm Stacie’s and Yuppie Elite.
