I don't get why everyone's supporting the OP. It seems silly to limit your choices like this. Clearly credit/debit cards still bring a lot of convenience in this world. Why not take advantage of that?

You have a single pathetic point but you are the person that stayed in Europe centuries ago or the person that stayed on the East coast of The newly formed USA. See you later, whateveryournameis. Keep moving, Elwar. You are my hero.

Great job with the uncreative insults. If you believe in what the OP is doing, why not do it yourself?

There's nothing wrong with staying in Europe, and in fact, Northern Europe is a much better place than the USA. Similarly, there is nothing wrong with the East coast; as logically flawed as your point was, you still choose a rather pathetic example.

See, with moving to the New World, or the West Coast, or becoming an Early adopter of bitcoin, there are huge potential benefits. People made millions of dollars. Billions of dollars, even. For the efforts and risks they took, they created a lot of value in the world, and they reaped the benefits of that themselves as well.

But what about what the OP is doing? How will that help society? How will that help himself? It won't. All it does is limit his own choices. There is no potential upside. A person who chooses to live without fiat a year earlier than everyone else won't benefit him (or anyone else) in any way; it's completely different than being a first mover in the New World or whatever.

Everyone talks about being a survivor. What is the point? We don't need any more survivors. We need more dreamers and explorers. Imagine (or look up) what people like you said about the ones who got on boats pointed at the New World? People who do not seek their dreams will likely end up as sludge that doesn't go down the drain; You, I suppose.

Also, I have mined since 2010. I am an early adopter. I operate full nodes and run over a terrahash to heat my 6200 sq ft house. What makes you think I am not on the same path as Elwar in regards to going fully bitcoin? It is why I asked him about the rental stuff because I own a bit of real estate and some businesses. You put the ass in assumptions.

TL;DR: this person (Elwar) is a pioneer and a hero. We should cheer for him. If he is not a hero, what is a hero to you? Some cowardly schmuck that stays indoors and plays video games and occasionally looks out his window?
