Have you ever taken the time to calculate what you’re paying in spread fees and slippage to convert your paycheque to bitcoin just to end up going back to Fiat to pay bills? I have precisely why I don’t do it. It’s a guaranteed way to lose sats.

All I'm going to say is because the trick is not to pay your bills Monthly, always try to pay your bills 3 months in advance or every 6 months. That's how we do it.
Spread makes it a losing game Get paid at $90K Buy Price $91K Market price $90K Sell price $89K Pay bill at $94K Buy price $95k Market price $94K Sell price $93K So you market moved up 90-94 but you paid 91 and sold 93. Losing half to spread. Now get paid at market 90 and pay bill at market 84: Buy 91 Sell 83 Market moves down 6k from 90-84 buy you lost 8k from 91-83 This doesn’t account for any extra fees from exchanges or miner fees. Even if spreads are tighter you can see how this is a losing game, exchange is making money on volume and spreads.
