😲 Didn't expect this take from Guy Swann either.

Dropping the dollar might be the first step, but it's not the end game. You cannot become free if you insist on using their private payment networks instead of the bitcoin/lightning network.

I do have a debit and credit card and bank account but I'm not exactly proud of it. We should aim towards a world where we can use bitcoin everywhere, and we don't depend on their networks/systems. Using TBC prepaid visa is a crutch, not the goal. Those in power can take non-KYC prepaid cards away if they want to. Let's not lose sight of that. 

 This is what people don’t get. Visa is a company motivated by profit. Visa could plug bitcoin into their network and overnight make accepting bitcoin for payments trivial. If they don’t they could possibly die. 

Anyone with a brain can see the lightning network is far superior to their current network. Visa took decades to get where they are today.
