Freeland vs Walled Garden
You choose.
choice was made for us, this account (Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town) was suspended from X...
Good to know!
....I mean.....you know what I mean😆
X is full of bellends anyway.
If you aren't spending sats, you don't have enough sats
Thats most probably the case.
I totally get what you mean! It’s refreshing to see a space where talking about spending Bitcoin is normalized and even celebrated. Do you think Nostr’s approach could inspire other platforms to be more open-minded, or is this kind of freedom unique to its setup?

This is the way

Its your money/property do what you want with it
Yeah… it’s pretty much like that, unfortunately
Some here have a lot, and others have little, just like anywhere else, but I think most here have a considerable fortune
sadly, shitcoins are the unofficially official currencies of X.
Of course. How else does one zap dank memes?
Bitcoin is money. Normalize spending.
View quoted note →Because people on X don’t know how to read: “Bitcoin: A Peer To Peer Electronic CASH System.” You’re supposed to spend it.
Bitcoin is money and we're building a value for value circular economy here.
You hardly ever see talk about Bitcoin price either. Which is nice, I forget to check it a lot more now.
We love nostr❤️
That's because "users" on X are virtue signalers and cash cows first, and people second.
It's a cultural shift and I notice that sending some sats as appreciation feels really different from emojis that you can easily spam on people.
Because the people on Nostr are Bitcoiners. The people you see on X are probably investors that happen to own Bitcoin, its not the same thing.
incentives and morals laid bare
I dont think its 'just' a wealth size thing. But moreso a 'time in the market' thing. The two are connected in a way, sure. But the first 'cycle' is rough, but if you have had a couple, your perspective and emotions/anxiety is different.
For example, people suggest new people to just DCA & chill, because that is what they have been doing for a couple of years now.o
A new person can surely DCA, but no way in hell could they ever chill while doing so.
Eitherway, i think its an anxiety thing, and either being rich AF, or seasoned, will fix that for you
That’s right, I agree that things are definitely different, but I think it’s really cool to meet the people who were there from the start
If your spending fiat your not full maxi (guilty).
spent != sold (for fiat gAiNzZ)
I think it's incredibly stupid to want bitcoin adoption and then refuse to spend.
always spend, never sell. 😌
well, Bitcoin is a tool after all, it depends on how you use it
How did Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town start?

That’s kinda the point. Save in bitcoin. Spend when you want for whatever you want.
people here get it 🤝
I couldn’t care less what anyone else does with their bitcoin.
Medium of exchange has always been the real killer app of #bitcoin
The zap button changes all of us.
We are far ahead. Medium of Exchange is the adoption curve after Store of Value
Now that you've speak about it, quick question, any guide tips on how to spend properly?
Exactly, Saylor has explained the 'Friction' on this a million times. The problem is, right now it is a taxable event. I mean, Saylor had to pay $40M because he couldn't prove he lived 180 days in two different places he owned inside America in one year.
You think he'll be 'zapping fat sats' when so many hate him and some jackass accountant to get his claim to fame will say Saylor owes .00000023 cents of Taxes and give it to the NYT for another lawsuit?
Also, that $7.75 cup of coffee you proudly took videos of buying 4 years ago in ES is now $28 but if you would have used one of the 160 shitty FIAT currencies that same amount would buy you about 1/4 of that same coffee.
Too early to spend, make the tax laws at least understandable?
I tried to do a deep dive on all the main issues here, no traction but it's actually good 'data' if you want to cut/paste stuff:
Bitcoinapolis (Minneapolis Minnesota)
Bitcoin Commodity Saylor Data
We save Bitcoin, and we need to use Bitcoin in our daily life. Currency trading and circulation are the first attributes of currency.
Nostr can circulate Bitcoin simply and smoothly. Zap is Nostr's killer application.

What do you mean?
There are people outside of the US for whom this is all largely irrelevant.
Neither do i. But when posting on X about spending sats there's plenty people who do seem to care.

Totally understand and that is where we need the most education on adoption. Americans are way ahead on SOV. We need the rest, especially Africa to get in now, BTC is way better than their currency and to me, one of my favorite "use cases" was for the unbanked and underbanked. And I love seeing people using Bitcoin on Flip phones with the Internet.
Yes!!
The sad thing is that people need to start spending Bitcoin if they want the revolution to happen, otherwise we just end up owning a subpar gold on a blockchain.
