The so-called Bitcoiners, hodling Bitcoin but earning and spending in fiat. Are you not a fiat maxi?

I say yes. I see your point. But nobody really spends every day.
Maybe yesterday, maybe tomorrow and maybe today. But not every day.
Earning is a similar thing.

Earning is a similar thing.

No is not. Earning (being paid in sats) the hardest part. Once you start being paid in sats, spending them is fucking easy.

Despite what the bitcoin police may think, hodling and saving bitcoin as a means to escape fiat debasement is just as valid a use case as any other.

If bitcoin is money, then people are free to do with it as they please, some will spend, some will save, some will have a mix.

as for me, my stacking is basically what i few as my retirement funding, or at least a large part of it

Anyone who uses Bitcoin in any way is a Bitcoiner. I don't feel like there's a need to be a gatekeeper or to use purity tests to define what a Bitcoiner is.

A real use of bitcoin is in a circular economy.
Outside of that economy is just an "investment", aka getting rich in crap fiat. Your mind is still trapped into fiat mindset.

That's what I'm used to say: They say they are bitcoiners, but are sitting on their bitcoin, only to feel that big and fat chunk of fiat under their asses.

Boutik bitcoiners they are.
