 PAID IN BITCOIN premieres on Nov 4 -  @btcpayserver YouTube channel!

It was an honor to work on Bitcoin as a medium of exchange at  @thebitcoinconf, together with  @strike.

Kudos to  @webworthy for yet another 🔥 doc and  @Michael Markle for leading the way!

 you are lucky, save those keys for a child in your family 🤝 
 yes ^ 
 Looking goooood! 🧡 
 While I'm a newbie, I can attest that the Bitcoiners know how to make trailers and ESPECIALLY know how to choose the frigin' music. Kudos! 👏 
 I need to zap whoever made that music ⚡   @webworthy 
 Very much similar to a QT movie 🍿 
Adorable how the escalators showed Bitcoin down the sides. Well played 🤣🤘💜

 that's actually an amazing chant ✊  
 Damn Uncle, thanks the the fat zap! Nearly 2 years ago you helped me get setup to send/receive zaps and I've been hooked on nostr ever since. I'll continue to pay it forward, you're a fuckin' legend!  
 Appreciate you... as for nostr setup, I have to keep evangelizing nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9uq3xamnwvaz7tmhda6zuat50phjummwv5hsx7c9z9 tech, he's one of my biggest fans. 
 2 years? you are a leyend yourself! 
 Epic 🤘🫡🖖
With Love and Sassy Sauce approved  
 I loved the part: "If you're Bitcoiner and say you'll never spend your Bitcoin, like... fuck you!" 
 Well I guess I'll go and fuck myself 
 There’s no love like self love. Same as hate. Balance. Enjoy it.  
 you must be really limber 
 post it on nostr for zaps 
 lmao  
 pay to play! my zapout is broken but will be fixed, meanwhile secured beef with orange lol    hey, brother Grinder! 
 THIS!!! So … you want a #bitcoin #revolution but don’t want to spend it. How DAFUQ do you think circular economics works? 

Tell me you’re selfish without saying it. 

We have a winner 🥇 🤣🤘 
 What a total shit take. Bitcoin is freedom. I’ll use my corn however the fuck I want. And if that means chilling in cold storage while I blow through fiat shitcoins, I’ll do it. 

If a merchant only charges in corn, and I want what they have and value it more than my corn, I’ll part ways with my sats. If not, I’m keeping my sats. It’s the Austrian way. 

If you think selling your sats for things you don’t deem as more valuable than your sats - merely for the sake of adding to the number of transactions in bitcoin - is “good” or “noble”, you’re an idiot who is bearish on bitcoin at large. 

Bitcoin doesn’t need more transactions quicker in order to win. Any one of the main pillars is enough to defeat fiat. We’re going to win no matter what. 

Trying to shame people into parting with their hard-earned sats because you have a bearish outlook on bitcoins future without immediate adoption? Go fuck yourself! 
 Kindly: do you expect adults to continue reading after you start with …

“What a total shit take.” 

Do you understand building relationships with others? Or are you always such a bull 🐂 in a China shop?  
 I don’t give a damn who agrees or disagrees with me. That’s the point of nostr. 
 I understand Captain Obvious. Have a good whatever time 😊  
 I wish you had lightning address setup so I can zap you ⚡ 
 It’s intentional. Keep your sats. Much love. 
 interesting  
 Everyone’s on my arse again about doing another wallet. Me: how many times have we played the never ending story. 

All is well. 🤣🤣🤣 
 On person in this thread is clearly potty trained and takes care of it at home while the other isn’t and craps all over the world. Get your potty training early, folks! 
 Most have never buried their own feces either so there is that. 🤣🤣🤣 
 Been saying this ever since I got into bitcoin. Still some that will never use there sats to buy products or goods. If want adoption you have to actually use it 🤣  
 I'm not a Bitcoin dev, it's not up to me whether the transaction fees are actually usable. What the fuck would "using" Bitcoin even mean? What would the fucking use of it be other than to store value while waiting for it to potentially be useful in transactions someday?

Let me guess, you use fake Bitcoin called "Lightning" and pretend that's driving Bitcoin adoption? Goddamn retards wasting my time, I'm so sick of all of you, where the fuck is Digit 
 Your a fucking idiot. I have used bitcoin for every purchase possible not even using lightning. Maybe instead of hiding behind insults you can come up with actual arguments. Your view would also be why gold isn't made into jewelry and used to trade. So next time you hide behind your small minded view point and resort to insulting another person to feel better, think a little fucking harder thanks. 
 precisely. It's either electronic cash or it isn't. 
 I mean… Bitcoin was built to preserve purchasing power.  As long as fiat exists, which loses purchasing power no matter what, why the fuck am I going to spend my sats?

Why judge people for using one of the primary pillars of bitcoin - SoV?

And who the fuck is anyone to judge how I use and spend my stored energy? They can fuck right off. 
 Bitcoin was not built for any one reason.  It had a number of different properties, without knowing which, if any would take off.

Of all of them, the SoV use case, was perhaps the most unlikely.  But it ended up being the one that caught people's imaginations.  Nobody knew at $7 that it would go to $70,000, but that's what happened.  Amazingly.

Now, an important thing.  Given that is how bitcoin has developed, there is a social contract between those that build it, work on it, maintain it, and the user base.  We have to respect the way in which bitcoin is used.  And that is primarily as a SoV.

Anyone that is NOT doing that is simply flexing, and putting their own ego before the project.  These are the dangerous people, because they will bur the thing to the ground if they dont get what they want, far more than any competitor.

As you rightly state, bitcoin is for everyone, and that gives them the freedom to do what they want with bitcoin.  Anyone saying otherwise is an attack on bitcoin.   
 Amen. 
 100%.

What's REALLY nice is those that don't respect it and use #Bitcoin correctly will lose it (get poor).

The great equalizer of VALUE. What we truly give to others in REAL energy/need/desire is rewarded. 
 nothing yet 🌝 
 You just gave the best description ever 
 a bitcoiner: SPEDN

another bitcoiner: HODL

 I don't judge for using the SoV pillar. I do judge for *not* using the MoE pillar. I get quite sad and upset every time a merchant stops accepting bitcoin because "nobody uses it".

Of course, you do you, but maybe the thing is that you still hold too much fiat. One day you might lose your fiat privileges and then you will regret not having enough people/places accepting your bitcoin for necessary living expenses and people refusing to pay you in bitcoin for your work. 
 If there’s no liquidity for bitcoin, then bitcoin has failed. 
 Nobody's killed you in a street fight over some dumb shit you said yet? Please stop shitposting in the feed 
 If they had I wouldn't be shit-posting 
 My baby boy @ODELL … you sold me 🤣🤣🤣

 Ah yeah, my brain farted. It is before the election. 
 Walls of Silence

A man in shadows, bound by chains,
For roads he paved beyond their reins.
A dream of freedom, wild and wide,
Now buried deep where hope can’t hide.

For others walk where he once stood,
Yet he alone bears blame for good.
A voice unheard, a sentence steep,
The cost of daring dreams that leap.

Let mercy find him, clear the night,
And open doors to set it right.
