USD is a well recognized medium of exchange and unit of account, Bitcoin isn't there yet.
people who can't save , don't have the luxury of saving in Bitcoin and hodling for +4 years.
USDt provides the unbanked with means of storing their liquid income, it's that simple. once they can save ,they will try to look for best vehicle to do so.

lebanon didn't adopt Bitcoin simply because it takes time, gov won't accept new currency and people do not understand why they need BTC ,yet.

It's not about fiat onramps ,i didn't make myself clear 😅 it's being able to use Bitcoin to offramp like getting a virtual card or a physical one . Yes you can buy gift cards but that's not that convenient

The most common demand among Lebanese individuals is to have the ability to utilize Bitcoin for international transactions through a virtual or physical debit card that operates on Bitcoin.
However, up until now, Lebanese individuals have been excluded from this system.

2023-03-10 13:38:55 GMT

I have experimented with various Bitcoin onramp applications that offer virtual cards, and although most of them cater to third-world countries, they share a common feature:
None of them permit Lebanese users.

Wherever you go you can pay in USD and recently it was "permitted" to price everything in USD. Only public sector still demands LBP ,so far .

sure I agree, just an ideas an add-on to paid relays, this helps with payment scheme too. Active users pay bit more to use (one time fee budget).

2023-03-08 15:20:45 GMT

- reply

Yes, individual relay - optional of course.

2023-03-08 15:11:54 GMT

- reply

thanks!
This is similar to pay to enter on a relay, however adds a twist to it, more active user needs to deposit more and less well less.
There could be minimum entry fee,as it's now.
Only notes with text are counted, likes - boosts etc aren't part of the budget.

2023-03-08 15:03:48 GMT

#[0] what if relays integrate "note budget" that resets every month.
Let's say each note "costs" 100 sats, and you post on average 100 posts per month, 100 x 100 , you have to deposit 10,000 sats on relay . This balance is given back to you every first of month to be reused .
That deposit quota could be non refundable, as way to support a relay but the budget is kept for you forever.
You could increase your budget by adding more sats, in order to post more than 100 notes.
Rationale: further preventing bots

for few selected friends,I offered buy back at purchase price if the price is lower than the purchase price in five years time.
Gives them that confidence need to be on board, no nagging, makes them used to the volatility and few ended up stacking more!

Actually it's not that complicated , from elements you create a complex organisms and of course there is billions of years of trial / error / chance . Life is highly probable event given vast amount of time, think of it as Dec of cards ,for them to align from lowest to highest in the same color scheme is not impossible, it just needs time and universe has that.
Besides, organic matter is basically made out of only few compounds , it's much less than a deck of cards.

if you add to your bitcoin.conf the following line:
assumevalid:000000000000000000045adb37c869177f52cf9ca575c7040cb0c80a2156d64d
it wont verity till block 778696, which is as of writing this note. you can change the hash of any block , i just selected the latest.
from the bitcoin.conf manual
# Assume that this block hash and its ancestors are valid. Skip their script verification (performance boost.) Set to 0 to verify all blocks. We recommend leaving value blank.

All Lebanese banks closed their doors indefinitely ,ATMs not working you can't withdraw any money.
On top of that, USD in LBP just hit ATH this is the result. People are burning down banks.
LBP lost over 98% of is purchasing power since 2019.
This is why we need #bitcoin
