Perfect day for a glass of wine with the perfect company. The only thing that could make it better is paying with money that lives outside the legacy system. 100% self-custodial money I earned from creating value for others on the internet.
I didn't have to show ID, do KYC, give my name or phone number. I earned it all by creating tutorials, explainer videos, promo material, graphics and some animated videos too.
Today, I chose to spend some at a place that has a Bitcoin terminal, Mercado 24.
Part of the reason I do this is to show people how easy it is to live away from the legacy system that wants us trapped by providing payment rails, automatic debit and mechanisms of surveillance and control disguised as convenience. Well, you don't have to be part of that system if you don't want to. You can slowly start moving away from the gilded cage.
You can do so by looking for ways you can exchange work for cryptocurrency. You can search on legacy social media and job boards. I made a video yesterday about Open Genie, a website on HIVE that works a bit like Fiverr. You can check it out here:
Once you've found a way of earning freedom money, you can look for places to spend it. Bitrefill is a good place to start looking for gift cards and airtime. You can also look for local shops that might be interested in acquiring some digital assets. If there are none, look for people who are curious about it and show them a few options like HIVE, Dash and Bitcoin over Lightning. If you're fortunate enough to know the HIVE ecosystem, you'll know that you can make a video (or post) about it and earn back part or all of what you spent, creating and infinite money glitch.
I've been using this mechanism for a long time, and it works like magic
If you have any questions on how to use tools like @keychain or @v4vapp, let me know. I'll be happy to help.
