 #Bitcoin is my money. 

Dollars are just a payment network that I use to interact with the US economy. 
 Agree, i choose #Bitcoin.

 You are still interacting with the USD economy? 

Then Bitcoin is not your money! 
 Sheets of tp that most dumbasses still accept for some reason.  
 I don't think it can be said any clearer!

 And the dollars aren't even a very good payment network, tbh. Super annoying and slow. Lots of paperwork and bullsh*t.  
 Don't forget the surveillance!

 lol, probably 
 And Yen to interact with Japnese economy .. and Rupees to do same in India .. 

Multiplicity of competing #fiat systems necessitate sound money .. it a natural gap that Bitcoin could fill , only if the narrative(s)  around it were as neutral as those around #gold 

.. no one promotes gold .. much less die for it :-)   
 👏👏 
 Ugh USD, so last year. 
 USD is a Testnet

 Need to find a true scaling solution beyond lightning though. On chain fees are a centralizing force.
