 Sorry, but you just outed yourself as a larper. 

You are not even using BTC. You are using third parties that collect a tremendous amount of your behavioral data. And they themselves act as your fiat exchange.

You'd be better off trading back to cash on Bisq and spend the cash anonymously.

Most Bitcoiners not even try anymore to make merchants accept BTC directly. They are fat and saturated from their - guess what - fiat gains.

 The only larper here is you.

I use all the tools I have at my hand, also bisq and robosats, plus many more of those mentioned.

Besides I don't have to justify myself to anyone, I have simply shown two very easy ways to use bitcoin.

 You have to justify your actions to yourself on an ongoing basis. And it's a tough job because of all the cognitive dissonance. You can spend time on nostr most of the day getting virtual pats on the back for your proclaimed Bitcoin morale but then every now and then you have to venture out into the real world if only to fill up the fridge and then you're confronted with overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

 I am doing some heavy lifting by onboarding merchants who understand the use case of digital cash.

They won't stop accepting Monero like so many businesses did with BTC since 2016, because someone sold them a wrong idea when in reality it is solely about economic liberty and protecting ones privacy in the post cash era.

When I ask Bitcoiners when they onboarded their last business - you get silence as an answer.
