Satoshi might’ve walked away because the peer-to-peer element never took off. At the time, Bitcoin looked like it was becoming just digital gold. That may have felt like a dead end—or at least, not the revolution he envisioned.

A real Bitcoin standard means using it for all three functions of money: store of value, unit of account, and medium of exchange.

Two of those are mostly passive. But using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange is an active choice. It’s what actually pushes Bitcoin forward.

Being able to buy and sell what you need with Bitcoin?
That’s what winning looks like.
That’s the original digital cash vision—and until you can live your life on Bitcoin, you haven’t really exited the matrix.

Use Bitcoin however the hell you want. No one gets to tell you how to spend your money.
Just don’t miss this:

Every peer-to-peer transaction moves us closer to killing fiat.
Closer to making the old system irrelevant.
It's not about volume. It's about direction.
