The key is merchants and entrepreneurs demanding #Bitcoin for their services

I'm going to keep repeating that for myself to keep remembering as much as for others

I'm not the first one to say this, again just repeating for us all to think about This is a reason why I'm rethinking if an optimized Bitcoin Merchant Directory actually helps drive any business to businesses that accept Bitcoin

The reason why I don’t think about a 6102 of #Bitcoin day to day is that I’m optimistic we will all be able to turn the ruling class back towards upholding the social contract that they continue breaking If the ruling class decides to seize the #Bitcoin or decides to tax and regulate it over handedly then the poor choice is on them

I’m choosing optimism, I’m choosing hope, I’m using my influence to tell them it doesn’t have to be this way

The genius of @BtcpayServer is that installing it turns any company into a “Bitcoin” company

There is so much pent up demand for being paid in #Bitcoin and if you can’t find a job in the “Bitcoin Industry” offer to set up BTC Pay for any random company and make yourself a job The genius of the @ln_strike app is that it cuts through the hodl vs spend debate and allows you to pay lightning invoices from fiat

This is good for people looking to earn #Bitcoin and it’s good for hodlers that want to get into #lightning w/o touching their main stack

What I love about today’s @TFTC21 is that several times @MartyBent and @matt_odell are calling all of us to something higher

Get your hands dirty, join the Lightning network, join the Samourai whirlpool

Today at @ocbtcn we’ll be echoing that call

open.spotify.com/episode/1VVscM… Very similar conversation that I had with @oh_kurrrrt about wanting to tinker more and the desire to get more involved

For me the answer to this truly has been #bitcoin circular economy, talking to merchants has given me a reason to get my hands dirty more w/ lightning

I want to help traditional payment processing companies put their best foot forward as they start to get into "crypto" and #bitcoin payment processing

Let me help you clarify what motivates #btc circular economy actors and how you want to go narrow in your approach not broad In order to implement #btc payments well for your customers you need to understand the philosophy and the mind of Bitcoiners

This isn't just another payment method that is "accepted", #bitcoin is growing and growing as the "preferred" currency for many people

A good point was made to me last night:

The ruling class believes they are helping. They sincerely believe they are helping. Gavin Newsom sincerely believes telling us when and where to eat and how and when to get a haircut is helping us. So when in some of my rhetoric I cast him as an evil character that is not helping people, that can come across as confusing because he seems like a nice guy and they hear me saying he is leading some secret conference call every morning w/ the motive of fucking up peoples lives.

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

#bitcoin has to be for everyone

There is no alternative

The legacy system is failing

The world is literally demanding new solutions, everyone is frustrated w/ oppression Look at what’s happening with the autonomous zones, and talk of tax protesting, and talk of defunding institutions

People know that voting and politicians are a joke, people know the current game is rigged

THREAD - Just used an @OPENDIME for the first time

#btc #bitcoin From pictures I saw online of them the end looked smaller than a normal USB drive so I thought I needed a second special device to use one

Not true, works in normal USB slot on normal computer
