quotingBitBlik (npub1k3g…stj3) was created exactly to achieve the same "basically living on Bitcoin" dream here in Poland.

Besides the p2p, privacy and unstop-ability aspect of it - which is cypherpunk AF - it also gives people wanting to live on Bitcoin an important advantage of being able to exchange your bitcoin for tangible things that you can feel you actually "own" and now in your hand like groceries, meal at a restaurant that you just consumed, or even cash from an ATM.
Unlike when using exchanges (even decentralized non-kyc like robosats, hodlhodl and others), you still mostly need to receive the fiat in some sort of bank account or fintech app thingy, which opens the possibility of being scammed by people asking platforms like revolut/wise for charge back.
In such cases usually those platforms require you to prove that the fiat origin was for a legal trade of some sort, you might have difficulties in proving that the anonymous trade of your bitcoin is in fact your identity, since they operate in a KYC, centralized, proof-of-identity world.
This basically means that you sent your bitcoin but you now hold "fiat" which is not in your actual possession, and you need someone's permission to use/spend it.
Spending your bitcoin in things or services that you already have consumed or hold in your hand is such a powerful feeling, you rather cannot be rug pulled in this way, and with that comes a feeling of freedom and sovereignty.
Another nice aspect of it is that now you have a much better answer when your normie friends come at you with the argument against bitcoin: "But you cannot spend it practically anywhere".
Here's a quick summary of the amount of places in Poland you can now spend your Bitcoin anonymously/privately and non-KYC, so shut the fuck up!
Now the issue is not finding places where you can spend your bitcoin, but rather: is there enough people wanting to live in a Bitcoin Standard and wanting to spend their bitcoin?
Demand for non-KYC bitcoin is here and will only probably increase in near-term because of more regulation and control.
BitBlik (npub1k3g…stj3) fills this demand, but we need more people wanting to actually spend their bitcoin and creating more offers in tools like PlebQR (npub1l8k…97q9), BitBlik (npub1k3g…stj3) and others.
Remember:
If you don't want to spend your bitcoin, you still have too much fiat.
