Iโm aiming to be grateful today, and be useful and kind.
I wish I had some cash under the mattress to buy some #bitcoin but Iโve spent all I can above 100k.
Have a great day.

Middle-aged dad, late to the game, but so glad to be here.

It's done! ๐
After a couple of weeks of work, and a couple of late nights, I'm excited to share my take on onboarding merchants who are using a Square POS terminal.
The rabbit hole I went down was simple: If my favorite coffee shop, which uses Square, were to start accepting bitcoin, what does it do for their bottom line?
The article below takes 10-12 minutes to read and includes:
- Real financial projections for coffee shops, liquor stores, and boutiques
- How the 50/50 strategy (half cash, half Bitcoin) adds $20K-$51K over 5 years
- Why transaction size matters (boutiques save 19x more per transaction than coffee shops)
- Why I'm not convinced we should lead with "no chargebacks"
This is for Bitcoiners who want to help local merchants adopt Bitcoin. Lead with their bottom line, not our conviction.
Obviously I'd love it if you'd share this with others and repost it, but mostly I'm happy that (a) I created something useful and (b) I get to share this on Nostr.

Slept in after a stressful day and feeling great but also starting the day late, so I skipped the meditation. That choice may bite me in the ass by 5 pm - Iโll let you know ๐
Have a great day.

Hi! ๐
Could someone zap me 10 sats and Iโll send you 10 back. Iโm trying to see if I fixed a wallet problem.
Thanks! ๐๐ป ๐
I've been working on a merchant onboarding guide now the Square has given 4 million (!) merchants the ability to accept our sats. I'm pretty excited about it.
Square and Cash App rolling out Bitcoin payments is incredible for adoption. They have a ton of great resources on their site. As a small business owner paying $7K-$10K a year in credit card fees, I hate the fees. But at the end of the day I care more about the bottom line than the fee as thatโs part of doing business in my industry (trust me, the people I serve arenโt paying in sats in 2026).
So I ran the math on how this affects the bottom line for three different business types. Was it a meaningful amount of savings, say, over 5 years, to accept bitcoin?
What I'm finishing up:
- Main document: How we as Bitcoiners can actually approach local businesses (without leading with the term โsound moneyโ or talking about inflation). Some math, but not a crazy amount. 8-10 min read.
- Four additional resources with detailed numbers, scripts, objection handling, and tax FAQs. 10-20 min read time for these.
Working with Claude AI on this has been a blast, but I'm in the middle of moving and there's real work to close out the year. So I don't know if these get posted in 3 days, 7 days, or 10 daysโbut theyโll be done soon.
Going to knock this out and get it off my plate. Its taken up a lot of time ๐ฌ๐๐
Looking forward to sharing it with you all.

I went to bed super early and got up in the 4โs and already having a great day. This is the way! ๐
Nov and Dec are typically good months for the business, so maybe Iโll have a chance to buy some ๐ฝ on sale.
Have a great day!

Great day, but Iโm tired - and so is the dog ๐ No #30days I got in 13,900 steps.
It was fun to interact with so many people today. Hereโs the #zaplog
