It's funny since I wrote that last note. I went to the coffee shop where I've dropped off the documents and talked to the guys, and I think they're probably gonna turn on the button the next time I go by. It's tough to find a time where they're not busy, but I'll pick my spots and go in the afternoon. At the end of the day, I work six or seven days a week, and I don't have much time outside of what I need to do to mine fiat for my family to go to merchants. I think those PDFs I created and those articles are helpful and useful. And I don't drink, but if I did, I would definitely be going to breweries. There's a crazy amount of breweries in the area I live at, and all those documents clearly show that the brewery is the one that has the most to benefit. In part because you could do a weekly or a monthly Bitcoin meetup at the brewery. Hopefully, somebody can use those and orange pill a merchant. I think perhaps I haven't been in Bitcoin long enough to know how to approach somebody because I've never had years of trying to orange pill friends and family. View article →

Could be your advantage, coming in a little clearer and cleaner, less jacked up! Bitcoiners trying to orange pill can be way too intense for a lot of people. I’ve scared so many people off it’s untrue! When passion overflows into intensity, it’s not been pretty for me. How about find the name of the owner of the Brewery and just email it to them. Do you want to save x% by using a new medium of exchange. Let the numbers do the talking. Less energetic output for you too. Minimal work, quite possibly maximal results. Take the emotional human out of it. Thinking out loud here. What I can say is your PDF is the nuts!! Top work!

Great piece @Orange Dad Here in Italy we’re probably still 10–15 years behind on some practical tools (Square is a good example), but the merchant resistance feels very similar. Still, this is useful context. I’ll definitely take inspiration from it to do some local education and adapt the approach to our reality.
