Today: made another nice deal with a proxy merchant, found another one for something else I needed. Paid for child related services and also adult education using lightning. None of these were me pushing anything and two of those were initiated by the other side without me even mentioning bitcoin.

Also received value4value for my podcast episode and sold btc to a family member.

All other transactions were cash.

We have arrived. If nothing else changed with Bitcoin and if the world went to shit tomorrow, we have all we need to operate a functioning parallel economy.

We are going to make it.

We are not mainstream, but we are enough and in many ways much better.

Welcome to the dark forest.
