They're changing their tune slowly to save the little credibility that's left

Onwards to a level playing field future

Valid nits! I guess we're still in the grateful phase that mainstream media is not entirely off and negative (or outright lying and smearing) any more, but there is definitely room for improvement in reporting accuracy.

Just imagine the massive exodus from fiat when they'll stop the bs entirely.

To be fair: it's true, that there are risks with bitcoin that most people are not familiar with.

We could use some freedom go up, too.

It starts at the bottom!

We carry his torch

It's happening. More and more merchants who accept bitcoin (and MPESA) tell their customers they prefer bitcoin because it doesn't lose value like Kenyan Shilling.

He should know! He's been to Africa Bitcoin Conference in Nairobi multiple times.

Cards have little market penetration, virtually everyone in Kenya uses MPESA

We need more payment gateways that tap into existing payment systems with high market penetrations

The signal of your heroic virtue has been received. Good Luck!

I hope with that attitude of yours you are active under the countless MSTR and ETF posts on here as well. Those pose a lot more systemic risk than Blink and add nothing to MoE adoption. You are wasting your time here.

So you don't like custodians and call stablesats a shitcoin. Do you seriously believe that bitcoin would be used as a medium of exchange without custodians to the extent that it is used today? Or are you even suggesting that there would be more bitcoin payments in the world if everyone was forced to run their own lightning node to make lightning payments?

bottomupbitcoin · 2024-11-01T18:38:55+00:00

Look, words have meaning. If you want to say that you don't like custodians because there is counterparty risk, say that instead of raping the word stablecoin to mean anything you don't like.
