Nice discussion. My opinion: If Cryptos don´t get rid of governments' arbitrary decisions, we won't get financial liberty.
Opinion: Has BTC Fared Any Better Under Biden?
Back in November, many analysts claimed that Joe Biden would be the man to put bitcoin on the map. Allegedly, his policies towards the world’s number one digital asset would be so friendly that the asset would make its way to the top of the financial ladder and become the ultimate tool for financial investors, but has BTC fared any better under the 78-year-old former senator?

Spend bitcoin at stores that accept it, please!
I see a lot of folks that think they should never spend any Bitcoin - they’re going to save it forever. Cool, HODL your stack. But, please realize there is a difference between "taking profits" and "growing the network."
When buying stuff with Bitcoin, you can either "spend and replace" or you can use something like Strike. The latter being better. It seems like so many people in comments here have never heard of Strike or lightning, or they don't know what they do. Granted, some countries don't have access to Strike yet but I see plenty of negative comments coming from folks that could be using it.
For those that don't know about it, let me explain. You can connect your bank account and then deposit your dirty fiat into Strike. Whenever you want to send someone BTC (main chain or lightning) you just click “pay” and scan the QR code. Strike deducts your fiat and then Strike pays with BTC. Let me repeat: Strike pays with BTC. You never hold that BTC and so therefore you never have any capital gain issues. In other words, Strike lets you use the BTC network without holding BTC.
So, if Strike is available in your country, please do yourself a favor and figure out how it works before you crap on people's joy when a new store starts accepting bitcoin. If people will spend bitcoin then there's no reason for stores not to accept bitcoin - and there's no reason you can't keep HODLing your stack if you use something like Strike.
Finally, I see some folks that seem to think it's pointless for a store to accept bitcoin. I mean....is it not obvious why a store should? Sure, maybe a store instantly converts BTC to fiat, but (1) having them accept it is advertising for Bitcoin, (2) don't you think stores will start to realize that lightning is cheaper than merchant fees, and (3) who's more likely to HODL bitcoin - a business that accepts it or one that doesn't? And, as a bonus point, please realize there are people that would like to live on bitcoin (get paid in bitcoin) that would love to not convert it to fiat.

My online clothing brands store now accepts crypto payments!
Hi everyone,
Earlier this year I began my own premium menswear company. What started as a lockdown hobby has now become a full time passion.
Everything is designed and tailored by myself and my team in the UK and we use high quality materials for our work bridging the gap between smart and casual.
We now accept crypto payments as both myself and my co-founder believe this is the future of monetary systems.
Our Instagram is @haneicollection and our website is Han’ei Collection
Thankyou for reading

Opportunities and risks: Bank of America: El Salvador does a lot of things right with Bitcoin as a means of payment
That Bank of America (BoA), of all people, spoke up and supported the actions of El Salvador initially caused astonishment, since the American big bank had been extremely critical of the cryptocurrency in March of this year. Bank of America sees no reason to own Bitcoin, apart from wanting to speculate with it, the banking giant is quoted on BTC-Echo. This opinion seems to have changed since the bank recently published a document via Twitter in which opportunities and positive perspectives are presented that could arise for El Salvador through the introduction of Bitcoin as a means of payment.
