The only people buying this are either women who live alone with cats or have died their hair blue. It's pretty much a rule.

You don't have to be an influencer to figure out the problem with this argument. You're basically saying people are idiots and can't figure out multifaceted things (like dollars, quarters, dimes and pennies).
It is not a complicated thing to understand that there is a finite number of pizzas, and that the pizza has slices (which we call slices rather than pizza). Well...it is some MMT folks, but the rest of the people get it.
You're throwing out the hard money argument.
Meanwhile, what we'd really like you to do is have every cash app terminal accept bitcoin. But it seems like you want to argue over this rather that do that.

While much has been made this week about dangers to bitcoin because we're not spending it. Just wait. That power will be unleashed more and more during the next 2-3 years.
Before too long, producers and retailers will want our bitcoin. Stake & Shake is just a whisper of what's to come.
Then we will argue again about how we're filling up the block space and transactions costs are too expensive.

I may have missed you saying morality is primary. If so, my bad. I look at families as the essential social unit. They are held together by covenants of blood, purposes, and moral convctions. This depends on the transcendentals. I believe that Aristotle would support this point. My issue is that he didn't give weight to God's involvement in the moral equation. Human action often has nothing to do with our interactions with one another and what is best re community thriving but rather with our relationship with the divine. The material gives way to the spiritual, which is a domain where money is irrelevant.
Maybe I'm arguing for a distinction without a difference, or for a perspective I don't really comprehend, but I don't see an acknowledgment of a supernatural conscious moral being in Aristotle's thinking.

If we want the elimination of cgt, which has a legal status, the legal status of bitcoin also has to change. That's all I'm saying. We can certainly use bitcoin as a medium of exchange and hope the govt doesn't ever come after us.
Another possibility is that the current tax system gets abolished, and the whole cgt question becomes irrelevant.

There are different ways to look at it. Bitcoin may become the preferred money or there may be laws preventing future CBDCs from being converted to bitcoin.
I'm on the fence about the whole thing. Bitcoin could be the dominant money in 15 years. Or it could be 50 years. I am having a hard time reading the tea leaves. Clearly the current powers that be would prefer to recapitalize the dollar on bitcoin, but the banking elite want cbdcs. I expect both to get pushed aside by sound money eventually. But I can't say when.
What I'm trying to encourage is a change minset.

I think the probably of failure grows significantly the closer we get to the end of this monetary cycle. All the guarantees people thought they had in 1928 were completely gone by 1931. I'm not saying the end of the dollar is imminent, but it will happen. Any non-bearer asset is at risk of depreciation or confiscation by the banks. I've tried to get this across to my friend. His mental models won't allow him to think this way.

I think he should just sell the whole thing and just buy bitcoin. Considering bitcoin's cagr, he will rcoup the penalty in no time, and he will hold the bitcoin himself.
I got it all done in 2 weeks. Then it only took me about 10-13 months back in 2018 coming off the Dec 17 ath to cover the costs. I can't remember exactly how long it was, but it was very worth it so I could self-custody. I think he's scared of that as well.

you'll pay what the market demands for labor. And if I'm only able to get that minimum pay because I lack skills to demand more, I'll adjust my life as needed. The idea that everyone is entitled to live in his or her own place is ridiculous. My grandparents were living in a multigenerational household in the 1930s and 40s to ensure the ly could pay their bills and the kids could get a good education. They worked together. Everyone since has succeeded thanks to their sacrifice. They didn't demand govt set wages to do it.
I see plenty of families doing the same thing now, especially if they are immigrant families. I applaud them for it.

Not the Jews. The problem is the Zionists and Bolsheviks. Two completely different things. The rank and file religious Jews are still manipulated by the zionists. Netanyahu is neither a religious or ethnic Jew. But he is a Zionist of the worst kind. Virtually all Ashnekazi, which he is, don't qualify for Israeli citizenship anymore based on DNA. They use money to maintain their influence. That hasn't changed for 150 years.

And don't forget they've made this fatal error before. When the West went to the gold standard in the 1870s, China had been stockpiling silver and silver mining capacity. After the shift, silver got devalued by 30%, and it destroyed China for 100 years. Set them up for the Maoist takeover, in fact. This time the Communists will make the same error with tariff wars and gold as the world shift to bitcoin, and it will destroy them again.
