Apologies to all concerned, I will no longer be handing out merit in this thread. Theymos removed me as a merit source because he disagreed with the way I spent my merit. I will leave this thread open and you can continue to post merit requests here if you like; however, I won’t be answering them.
Good luck to all.

(one shot in here )
only thing i really have to say is when you believe in BTC and the true value of BTC (a decentralized asset), then the choice is made very quickly buy and live with it when and where you can, build the community by using it (HODL it for a part) .
maybe using it is little personal cause some see it as store of value others to pay bigger amounts, other for fast transactions etc
people biggest problem with BTC is they wanna get rich quick, and can't bear the DUMPs that last a few months but can't change everyone ofcourse....
for me its a clear pad , decentralized,scarce,increasing user counts, fast in using ,easy to private own whitout anyone knowing and so on
i didn't start any good threads in this forum, only some give away threads (such as guessing games where a BTC price is rewarded for the closest one to the question)
such as .

but there are no wise words to be found only pleasure and fun to mix up a bit here and there.
I think you hit the nail on the head. No one promotes the US dollar, gold, or any other medium of exchange. The use of any currency needs to grow organically over time or be used as a national currency. The fact that bitcoin has to be promoted to be used speaks too it’s impending failure. As a get rich quick scheme bitcoin has worked for many, as a currency it’s worked for a few.
For bitcoin to succeed people need to stop thinking about it every day and simply use it when they need to. I don’t think about how much money I have in the bank until I need to make a purchase. Everyone needs to do that with bitcoin. Bitcoin is doomed as a currency because no one sees it as anything but an investment.
