I believe Bitcoin is for everyone, I believe Bitcoin is useful for everyone, look to increase all three of these areas in your life no matter where you live or your current economic situation

All 3 buckets help you leave legacy system

I have a room for rent in my house that I offer a discount on if tenant pays in #Bitcoin

That’s how I’m able to EARN #btc and get paid in #btc

Here’s the #bitcoin commerce stack I use and as my wife and I budget each month we look for ways that we can source the things we’re already buying using bitcoin instead of our bank and credit cards

Wallets:
@SamouraiWallet
@bluewalletio

Merchants:
@bitrefill
@fold_app

One thing I’m interested in figuring out more is how to find a list of @OpenNodeCo or @BtcpayMerchants or other #bitcoin merchant processor software implementations that have a list of their users by geography so we can start shopping local w/ Bitcoin

The reason why I think this is important is because every business feels like a gray market business at this point

The whole mask and distancing thing is making it painful to go to stores

I think stores that offer pay w/ #bitcoin functionality will be stronger in tough times

As I get our flow down more and start to opt out of the legacy system more, I’ll publish numbers so the tax and fee and misc savings can be more obvious to others that are looking to do the same and get relief w/ #bitcoin circular economy

The way I SAVE in #bitcoin is by using @CasaHODL multi sig

Currently I’m only a gold member and it’s $10/mo and to me it’s the best trade off of helping me sleep at night knowing I have 2 keys and they have 1 key and their email support is really good

If you’re asking why #bitcoin or how #bitcoin look at all three buckets, think of a fully separate economy from the rigged game of the current elitist controlled one

Everything that’s happening at @Bitcoinbeach can happen in your community no matter where you are and no matter what socio-economic status you are

The same Cantillon effect of the US central bank is stealing from people all over the world in every community

People will tell you that it’s too hard and #bitcoin isn’t ready or that’ll happen someday, I personally have chosen to stop listening to those people

I live in an affluent community Orange County, CA and I’m telling you I feel the incentive to move off USD to #bitcoin economy

I think #bitcoin circular economy has a bigger market than just unbanked nomads and 3rd world countries

I think the incentives are here today for Bitcoin circular economy in affluent countries as well

The reason for this is it goes back to @misir_mahmudov and @Breedlove22's concept that #bitcoin saves you time

I live in an affluent county in an affluent county and I feel the system stealing my labor and my time

The current economy is stealing from my family

I want to cut down on the amount of middle men, taxes, and fees in between my labor and the food on my table

That is how I then have to work less to provide for my family

Earn 🔄 Spend 🔄 Save in #Bitcoin is how you get off the hamster wheel and stop renting your fiat value

#bitcoin developers that only build products for a remnant style mindset or it won't be adopted by everyone are thinking too small

Bitcoin is going global

Bitcoin is for the rich and the poor and every demographic we could fill 1000 tweets with

Bitcoin is for everyone

And when I say Bitcoin I am specifically saying Bitcoin parallel circular opt out economy

The desire to be able to get off the hamster wheel of a fiat economy is something @MartyBent and @JeffBooth and so many others have written about so well

Thats my incentive for #bitcoin

And that incentive is working on me right now

Right this minute in a fiat economy in a rich county in the richest country in the world

I need help from #bitcoin economy right now

I need to earn and buy groceries with #bitcoin right now

Not someday, right now

If you're a #bitcoin developer or product manager and you don't believe me and you believe I'm astro turfing and you believe @sherinzy and I think Bitcoin is just a toy you are being close minded and not surveying the opportunity

I will buy groceries w/ #bitcoin today

I will stop working for USD fiat today

I am mad as Hell that I've been ripped off by a corrupt central bank and I have the incentive to leave today

I have incentive to go on strike from USD today

People that think #bitcoin is just a hedge and just a way to make more USD are thinking too small

People that think only a few people will ever be able to close their bank accounts and cut up their credit cards are thinking too small

Think bigger, #bitcoin deserves it, Bitcoin deserves products that think bigger

Users are demanding more, the world is demanding more

Stop designing and building products from a small minded or some future mindset

Design and build products that let and go to the legal at bats necessary to let people get out of a rigged game and stop having their value stolen from them

This week @sherinzy and I were accused of only using btc as a toy and that’s not true, we use it as our unit of account.

A male dominated industry is not going to be able to produce products that help people opt out because women control significant portion of purchasing power.

Circular economy products made for families and made for females have a huge addressable market.

I don't want @sherinzy to get #bitcoin later. I want her to love it today, because I need help today!

I need the circular economy today

I feel crushed by a corrupt system today!
