The end of 2025 marks two years since our family switched entirely to a Bitcoin standard. Two years ago we chose to stop earning fiat altogether, began earning Bitcoin only, spending Bitcoin whenever possible, and saving in Bitcoin. We are starting this year with more sats in cold storage than ever before. #thankyousatoshi

First step was to simply say “no” to any new opportunities to earn fiat and direct 100% our attention to begin earning sats and v4v. We transitioned the farm from a for-profit to a non-profit v4v model and started @83b395fd…f31bc76c in early 2023. The rest is easy. Earn more in sats than you spend. Spends sats whenever possible instead of converting back to fiat. Participate fully in the #circulareconomy and #optout of fiat as much as possible.

Yes, it’s definitely a process. Keep pushing, anyone can do it with some effort and the tools will only continue to improve 💪

As soon as @c9bdb692…234e27a4 launches their announced Line of Credit product, planning to drop Fold and move entirely to Strike for my fiat paycheck. Already have a solid percentage of my paycheck going there for hourly DCA, but moving it all except what wife needs weekly in fiat

Wife has been onboard from the beginning! It was a fairly easy transaction for us being self-employed, not W2 wage earners. We did take a major hit in income at first but price appreciation mostly made up for it, and we have since replaced lost income streams with new ones.

Multiple small income streams. We are ‘self-employed’ not W2 wage earners. Primary income sources at the moment are @83b395fd…f31bc76c and running a LN routing node. Between these two we can pay the bills and add to cold storage most months.

Small steps add up over time. Every sats earned brings you closer to financial sovereignty. Keep going 💪

There are always inconveniences, times when it would be easier for sure. Bills, mortgage if you have one, etc. but the tools are out there to make it work with some additional effort. It’s a trade off —convenience for sovereignty, everyone has to answer for themselves, which is more valuable or important to you?

We decided to skip the fiat step altogether. Just earn sats. Not possible for everyone, I admit, but I’d say direct deposit into River/Strike and then to cold storage is next best option. 📝 f6ef5710…

Never used Cash app, Have been on Strike and DCAing almost 4 years... Plus, Strike is BTC first and foremost. Cadh addef BTC ad an afterthought. Does Cash even offer BTC backed loans? Maybe...dunno, and haven't heard them talk about a BTC collatetalized Line of Credit product

I am not sure, probably not since I don’t know either. Most of my bigger activity has always been with strike. The convenience of being able to have a checking account associated with it was amazing - I used bill pay a lot. I just really like what block is doing with progressing bitcoin payments for small businesses so try and support them too. Sometimes I use both at the same time
