 Having bitcoin doesn't mean you can pay your rent or credit cards off. Yet.
Its like two different worlds in parallel and not all the bridges connect. Yet.
If you go back to Fiat from Bitcoin you set yourself back at the rate your state's capital  gains taxes you. Too high a fee to backtrack.
So I am left with paying off my fiat life and buying bitcoin with the remaining balance of my paycheck.
I guess we wait for the fiat world to move into bitcoin.

The point of stacking #btc is not to take profits in fiat

It is to save. It's an investment for the future, one that will outperform any investment in fiat

 They don't understand that #btc as an investment will outperform any investment in fiat - stocks, bonds etc

You're investing in a technology that will keep getting valuable with time

 We are not retarded. We simply (for whatever reason) haven't been exposed to the bitcoin in the same way you did and in my case even when I wanted to buy, I couldn't. 

Don't undemestimate "those people". Many of them are fully aligned with truth and freedom and could bring a lot on the table, even feel the gap between 2 worlds.

What is needed is a proper introduction, demonstration and education. When internet and computers were becoming "new kid on the block", there was worldwide education and implementation in each country and institution which is not the case here.

Ironically, without getting this critical masses of people, bitcoin will never become mainstream and fullfill its potential. Nostr could be one of the powerful ways to introduce people to bitcoin.

 #Bitcoin is NOT for speculative trading or taking profits in fiat. Fiat is trash

It is an investment in a technology that will get more valuable with time, an investment that will outperform any investment in fiat

 The purpose of Bitcoin to engage ultrarich in a perpetual currency war .. 

So that money goes back to plebs .. to people who work with their hands .. 

Even the leveraged #hodlers won't make it ..
