When there is a bull-market everyone jumps on the bitcoin train, we get a ton of newbies and most of them are greedy bastards just wanting to make a quick buck off-of us.

Now that the market is down, most of these people have left us. This gives us time and quiet to improve on our skills and understanding of bitcoin.

Now that the dead weight is off we can re-evaluate our objectives with bitcoin and come back sharper on the other end of it.

We don't need everyone talking about bitcoin, we don't need people who are here to make profit without working. What we need is scaling solutions. We need more active peers on the network.

We need people selling food, electronics, land and everything else. We need people who buy those things and sell products for bitcoin.

We need restaurants and fishermen and farmers.

We need movers and shakers.

We don't need more speculators. We have enough of those.

I'm have begun making a few purchases via Bitcoin and Ethereum. Most of the opportunities I have to use crypto revolves around storage and server services. I have had nothing but luck requesting a crypto option and getting it when purchasing technology services. Unfortunately I live in northern Canada and there are more bear than people around me. I don't even want to know what would happen if I went down to the local tavern and tried to use Bitcoin.

I'm also going to scale back my bounties. I have been using a quantity approach but i'm seeing the game evolve to a quality oriented system which in the need is much more beneficial and much less work. It seems like the bounty hunters are creating a disaster in this forum so I'm going to cut back.

I do own a farm (apple orchard and raspberries). Once again I am in the wrong part of the country however maybe I will create a sign and give a discount for crypto use however I doubt I will get many hits. i get lots of mothers and kids doing pick your own berries. It would be amazing to transact with my fellow countrymen without using central banker scum notes.

Any chance Bitcoin is a government creation made to tax transactions? I worry we may be unknowingly ushering in a tax system for the elite but it may just be paranoid thinking.
