Here are some simple ways to get free-range bitcoin and live on the Bitcoin Standard:
- Offer a discount for your labor, goods, or services if the customer/employer will pay you in bitcoin.
- Buy stuff, and then sell it for bitcoin at a discount. People with bitcoin need to buy things like everyone else. Offer it to them at a discount when they pay with bitcoin. Food, gas, art, travel, gift cards, real estate, etc. Anything can be bought and resold for bitcoin. You are only limited by your imagination.
- Go to a bitcoin meetup and make friends with someone who is getting paid in bitcoin. Let them know you will happily supply their day-to-day needs at a discount in exchange for bitcoin. Save them the trouble of dealing with fiat and give them a deal in return for parting with the world’s most valuable asset.
- If you don’t care about privacy, you can buy through an exchange like Strike or Kraken.
