Bitcoin is time sensitive money in the sense that it does not throw your time under the bus by making your past efforts worthless. #bitcoin #time #sensitive #value4value #btc #grownostr

#thesilentveto I am gonna move on to my sats journey in a way, that I will hold less fiat, and spend the best way possible. I have tried, and I can buy my groceries in sats. Unfortunately I have to convert it into fiat before as a gift card. So I am jumping the problem of conversion. I mean, that based on a market price, I can get an unfavorable rate of change for my sats. I think I can say, that this is the price for #thesilentveto to vote with my money for a better world. But... @jack mallers posted and had an interview a few days ago, where he says he do not own any fiat. He does it by using a credit card. I guess he can do it, because he earns in fiat, therefore before the interest is due, he can pay in fiat, without the conversion problem. This is an interesting concept. I will look into it. Anyone doing it already beside Jack? On the other hand, shouldn't we say, that we shall not even touch fiat and spend from our stack? Maybe it is a bit philosophical, but if I know a merchant who wants to accept bitcoin, I can support him by spending bitcoin. But if the merchant needs anyway fiat, why should I bother converting back and forth? Of course if I earn in btc everything would be different. Cheers ☕️ #coffeechain #plebchain #value4value

I was listening to music this morning. I really think music can really be art. Music can wake feelings, reiterate on feelings, emphasize feelings, change feelings, etc. Then it hit me. Why the hell are we ruining everything with money? Why do we have to chip in everything? Why do we have to be control maniacs? Let things be. Stop trying to control everything and make things worse. Let natural problem solutions. Make "beauty", let "beauty" take control and not money. Good morning! #money #honestwork #hardwork #value4value #coffeechain #plebchain

Have you ever wondered, why is that if there was no inflation, people would spend on nothing? What is #money ? Money is a commodity, that can be exchanged for anything. It is an intermediary to make saving the surpluses for worse times and exchange of goods easier. If there was no money, you would have to exchange your goods to other goods then other goods until you get what you want. Also if you grow food, it will be hard for you to save up from eggs e.g.. So people do not want money, they want the things they can buy with it. Power, iphone, car, house, free time, etc. So if the prices of things would go down, they would gladly discard all the stuff they buy now to have their money worth more over time, until infinity? So people would live 70-90 years buying their basic needs to see their net worth measured in buyable goods to go up, so that they never spend, and enjoy nothing in their life? I see this claim a bit absurd. Will they think more about what they spend? - Definitely. Will it be a problem? - Decide on your own. If they spend less, it means there will be less consumption, and this results in less production. Is it a problem to have less production? - In terms of GDP for sure. But is it really a problem? Is more always better? More GDP better? Does it make sense e.g.: to produce toasters infinitely? It increases the gdp, but if there are no users for it, does it make sense? In a world where increasing production is the goal, would you produce short lived things or long lived things (planned term of limitation). Of course in terms of production short lived things are better, because they can sell the same things again and again. But in such a case what happens with the already used products? They become trash. Does it mean that optimizing on more production aka GDP means generating more trash? - Look at the above example. Is more trash a problem? Trash needs to be stored or recycled. Also creating the product that becomes trash uses Earth resources. These Earth resources might not be able to replenish in the speed that we generate trash. Does it make this logic of producing more sustainable then? - No. Is it a problem doing things in an unsustainable way? - I leave it onto you, as this became a little long post. Stay safe, be awesome! See you around. #plebchain #coffeechain #gdp #economics #money #production #sustainable #sustainability #inflation

It is easier and faster to generate false information than to prove the falseness of false information. Do whatever you would like with this info. #plebchain

Imagine the following: You have a fiat cashflow. You earn fiat in each month. A.) Convert to btc as soon as possible, and only use services where you can pay with btc. B.) Live on credit card debt, and pay the debt before the interest is due from your fiat cashflow and convert the rest of your money into btc. Which one you take? Why? #cashflow #fiat #btc

#Time != #Money Time can't be created. Money can be created. How can 2 things equal if you can increase amount of one, and not the other? #coffeechain #plebchain

As we got to the current world state with slow progression, this is only the way to get out. Too abrupt changes would be apparent, and could be fight against, but as with warming the frog slowly, so he does not notice, bigger changes can be achieved with slow and steady progress. So if you think a change would be necessary, don't fight for it with power, but with mind. Start to prefer services that does the things the way you prefer, and make your own business the way you prefer. Vote with your money, and with your time for the things you believe in. LG! #plebchain #coffeechain #btc #life #bigchange
