To the few of you in the Bitcoin community trying to do what’s best, I see you. Stay consistent and honest. Even if people can’t handle the truth.
Let this be a lesson to many of those in the Bitcoin community: Ego, inconsistency, lack of knowledge, gatekeeping, and hypocrisy won’t get you anywhere far. 🤷♀️
Get off the internet and talk to regular people around the world.
Unless people are forced into dire situations such as people living under extreme tyranny, many people are comfortable using the currency they have. Even if it’s not backed by anything.
People in the Bitcoin community can shout “decentralization” and all this other stuff. The average person doesn’t care. They want to spend money including digital currency to buy basic things like groceries. People are hungry.
(As a reminder, Bitcoin was designed for *transactions*.)
To be 100% honest, I like my Exodus Card. It’s convenient and it mainly works.
Furthermore, USDC is another medium of exchange. It gives me another option. And I like options.
For the record, I have received USDC and bought Solana to swap to USDC.
The Exodus Card made it easy to use USDC at the grocery store. I’m pretty positive I’m the only person (as a consumer) here in Botswana with the card. So I was the first to do it.
Fun Fact: I’ve used USDC via the Exodus Card in Botswana on more than one occasion. But not Bitcoin. I haven’t used Bitcoin once.
Bitcoin can’t fix anything if you can’t get it to scale.
Stablecoins are already scaling around the world in numerous ways. Get ready for more…
