A thousand merchants accepting #bitcoin is greater and more valuable than a thousand companies adopting a #Bitcoin strategy..
Your bakery accepting #bitcoin is better than your State creating a #Bitcoin Strategic Reserve..
You choosing how to use #bitcoin, save and spend your energy and purchasing power in a self-sovereign way, gives your more freedom than anything else.

Exactly!
We should celebrate and shill every small merchant that start accepting Bitcoin. Everywhere !
Just take a look here how many merchants start doing it:
Stacker News
OPAGO_PAY/posts \ stacker news
@OPAGO_PAY has [70443 stacked,327 items]
Indeed! It's a big step, and if done the roght way, you'll never seen him coming back, and will be example to more.
@BTC Map is great for this 🤙🏼🍀
This is the way. Thanks for highlighting again.
For this reason
@BTC Map cannot be overrated.
Also I have respect for small companies like
@OPAGO,
@Mysterious Hamster, ... which have a track record of merchant onboarding.
Lol, while I was typing my comment (interrupted by a coffee), you already shilled exactly the same projects I had in mind. Great 🔥
Intuitions and mind connections 😂🤣🫂🤙🏼
💯 - it’s also a great way to reach and teach the masses. It has a psychological effect too. Once people see merchants listing bitcoin as an option it’s like a subconscious affirmation that it’s here to stay and accepted. And when the Amazons and Apples of this world list paying with bitcoin/lightning as an option, it’s confirmation that it’s real and safe - almost like a stamp of approval for the previous naysayers. Needs to happen.
🌞 Good profile name, btw.
I believe it needs to be recognized as a good store of value before it can become widely use as a medium of exchange.
I appreciate 😁🤙🏼
They should go in parallel IMO. I see no reason one should go first, and I see many risks if becomes only a store of value, or seen as only it.. It would fai then.
Indeed, you explained it perfectly. And that only increases the network effect, and in the long term this would push "relgulation" (makes me sick just the word) to be positive for users, for example no taxation when you spend it directly for goods and services.. it's money.
agreed, need more infrastructure and awareness to allow for simpler user-friendly remittance. without that, it's just a store of value predicated on enough people opting in that "this is digital gold." Real use case of remittance could save countries, lives, [insert positive thing insulated from centralized forces with misaligned incentives]
Amen! Can't agree more.

2nd that. BTCPAY server is a excellent open-source solution to that end.
Everyone should implementing Point of Sale app within BTCPAY server and guiding other how to do the same.
Here is my store front:
Working on an article now that will hopefully help others get started with BTCPAY server.
I love
@BTCPay Server and all the work they did until now to embark as many merchants as possible. Kudos to

I agree 100%. At the butcher store here where I work in Florence Italy people are still making jokes about my bitcoin accepted sign. So mad. 😠
Ignoranti, teste di cazzo! 🤣😂 quando ci vuole, ci vuole..
Let them joke, we are the happy ones.. 🙂🫂
Complimenti per la tua scelta, sfortunatamente per me Firenze è lontana, ma nel caso ci passassi un giorno, di sicuro comprerò una fiorentina nel tuo negozio, in sats! 🤙🏼⚡🔥🧡
Where I live, the law requires me to track every little btc-purchase for taxes. Something tells me that's not sustainable or feasible without getting into troubles. Big problem!
How do they know when you use a lightning wallet?
Since all Crypto-Assets must be accounted for seamlessly, I can't just have some random expenses going "unknown", without getting into troubles at some point. The only way around is, to buy nonkyc at the bitcoin-atm for Fiat-Cash. But that's really just fiat with additional time waste.
Idk...
That's it.. you answered yourself, NOKYC.. it's like cash, that mantains value over time because can't be diluted.
You can stake it without none noticing wherever you want, and you can leave and transact with it without none noticing depending on your skills and the tools you use.
Yes takes time and effort, gives freedom and self sovereignty.
No solutions, only trade offs..
