When did you really made a Bitcoin transaction the last time? Did you encounter any problems? Technically? High-Fees?
I sell services in BTC since my local currency’s inflation is too high
cool! Do you use on-chain transactions or any 3rd party services?
On chain only

May you share what kind of service with us? I used to use Bitcoin for mail and hosting services. But unfortunately both service provider stopped accepting bitcoin.
Many years ago, and only ever did once. I can’t remember what it was for. I didn’t have any particular aversion to it up until maybe the last year, there just didn’t seem to be any benefit. Just paying for things with extra steps. These days like everyone else I’m concerned about the energy wasted in mining. You do you but I won’t support that.
I guess a lot of people are thinking and acting like you. It seems that Bitcoin is not seem as a peer-to-peer transaction system anymore.
Umm… I don’t think anyone has really seen it as a medium of exchange for a long time.
It’s a speculation vehicle, that costs an obscene amount of power. Hopefully one day soon we’ll run out of “greater fools” to buy in and it can all come to an end.
All speculative bubbles burst. That’s why they’re created: to profit off investors until that point in time.
The thing that makes crypto worse than other bubbles is that it provokes investors to waste energy resources in the process. And since everyone can mine, they create the illusion of risk-free investment. “I only have to keep mining until I break even if worst comes to worst” is a sentence I’ve heard way too much. It’s only true as long as the market doesn’t collapse.

About a couple of weeks ago. Whenever possible I pay with LTC or XNO due to fees and speed, but some businesses only take BTC. The downside is that I end up spending probably a dollar or two in tx fees but still it’s faster and cheaper than a money order and a postage stamp.
Yesterday, during a zapathon on Nostr. No problems. Zero fees, essentially.
paid a friend over lightning about a week ago :3
Which wallets did you both use?
i used Zeus and my friend used Cashapp.
Never have, never will.
Never.
Why not? Technical problems? High-Fees? Scared from complexity? Not a fan of bitcoin?
