Bitcoin made me extremely frugal in life.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1dntpyb/bitcoin_made_me_extremely_frugal_in_life/
<!-- SC_OFF -->And I’m actually happy about it! I used to be a spender and buy so many things to get that dopamine rush. But buying bitcoin now is actually triggering MORE dopamine and I’m feeling even better whenever I stack sats than from buying anything else. I’ve always wanted to buy myself a Gaming PC, an Apple Watch but guess what’s delaying those purchases for the past one year? Stacking Sats! Heck I even sold my PS5 and put that money into this magic internet money that fixes the world economy! And I’m not even sad!! My wife was telling me “I appreciate your strong will in sacrificing your impulse buying behavior and instead saving money in Bitcoin “ And I told her “Girl I’m not sacrificing anything! Buying Bitcoin IS my impulse-buying and I’m gifting myself every month with this!” <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/hitma-n (https://www.reddit.com/user/hitma-n)

Bitcoin as a store of wealth
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1dkomiq/bitcoin_as_a_store_of_wealth/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Could someone explain to me how Bitcoin could ever be a store of wealth given that although there are only 21 million Bitcoins you can and will have 21 million Bitcoin like coins that do exactly the same thing and generational change will ensure that they do get produced and gather adoption as the years go on. The young people on the planet today buy Taylor Swift records not Elvis so what's going to make future generations stay loyal to Satoshi and not relegate him to the status of Elvis today who is still the king but with very little sales and relevance. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Plane-Ad-103 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Plane-Ad-103)

BTC ATMs

<!-- SC_OFF -->It's probably a small thing but I absolutely love it when I'm in a small town and see new BTC ATMs pop up. Recently moved to Auburndale FL. Which is a pretty old run down town to what I'm used to, it's best restaurant is a chilli's. Yet my favorite corner store just got a new BTC ATM and I was trying to explain how excited I was to see it.. to the 60 year old lady that still doesn't know what BTC is <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/hopelesshodler (https://www.reddit.com/user/hopelesshodler)

Check out the shirt of Kendrick Lamar's(K.Dot's) guy sitting center front. Says "Satoshi Nakamoto". Wonder if Kendrick is a Bitcoiner too? If not, we know at least someone in his crew is, wonder if he's spoken to K.Dot about it before

Next time someone tells you bitcoin is backed by nothing...
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1dkgcbd/next_time_someone_tells_you_bitcoin_is_backed_by/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Im wanting to come up with some great ways to respond when I hear someone say this. What are some things you can say quickly to get them thinking such as: "Youre right, being backed by something is a bug, not a feature, but here are a few things that make bitcoin valuable..." Network. Bitcoin is backed by the most secure network in the known universe. Security. Its value comes from its security. The transactions are 100% genuine and impossible to counterfeit. Decentralized. Its decentralized meaning no single entity or government can control it. (this is why its not a fiat currency) Ownership. Its the one thing in the universe that you can truly own and you can take with you anywhere by memorizing 12 words. Deflationary. The supply of bitcoin is finite and therefore deflationary. Unlike fiat it will never hyperinflate. There will only ever be 21 million. Permission. Bitcoin is the ulitmate permissionless store of value, meaning you dont need to ask anyone before you send or receive it. Energy. Bitcoin is backed by energy. The source of the energy is moving towards carbon neutral and soon carbon negative by using stranded energy. Open Sourced. The sourcecode for the bitcoin protocols are available for anyone to view. Freedom. Bitcoin is able to be used by anyone, anywhere regardless of economic status. Value. Bitcoin is backed by the sum of its parts which creates infinite value. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Electrical_Fix_8745 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Electrical_Fix_8745)

How to hold Bitcoin when retiring.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1dkg91v/how_to_hold_bitcoin_when_retiring/
<!-- SC_OFF -->I have an older friend who has a single bitcoin. He removed it from Coinbase and got a trevor and a piece of paper with his secret codes years ago. He is retiring and plans on moving out of the country in retirement. He feels uneasy having a piece of paper in his pocket that is so valuable going on a plane to a new place that could get stolen. And he is not certain of his living situation when he gets there and feels uncomfortable keeping it in an apartment in another country. He doesn't know what the best way to hold his bitcoin when he doesn't feel comfortable with self-custody. Your thoughts are appreciated. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/a1reddit (https://www.reddit.com/user/a1reddit)
