Here it is… Steak n Shake accepts BTC. Seamless experience and the burger and tallow fries were GREAT! 🍔 Paid with 100% sovereign sats from my lightning node at home (and immediately replaced them) using @ZEUS

Wish I had one in San Diego, I’d buy lunch for anyone who met me there!

The fact they accept BTC is great, but their tallow fries are not 100% seed oil free unfortunately. Hopefully they can make the switch to remove the extra bad stuff they pre-cook those fries in before they freeze them and send them to the stores soon

I was thinking of going tonight but then I found out my son is cooking burgers at home. Maybe I’ll go on Sunday.

Immediately replaced them ... by buying sats with fiat? Why not take the fiat directly to the shop then and use that to pay?

Do they accept BTC everywhere?

If you’re replacing them, you’re checking account isn’t in Bitcoin, step your game up and direct deposit to sats 🤝

It would seem like a detour. You use fiat to buy sats then spend the sats. Why not spend fiat in the first place and skip the middleman.
i also bought a burger with bitcoin. thing is it was on-chain. i paid the fees. i was orange pilling this person and they didn't want bitcoin lightning because it was custodial (not going to pay for a channel as a noobie, wtf is a channel). they wanted the most secure thing, self custody, on chain.

Are you a Bitcoiner or a fiat maxi? Simply the fact that by holding my checking in Bitcoin, my purchasing power increases
Bitcoin as a medium of exchange is very important and will drive adoption! Bravo to Steak and Shake! Now how about you Five Guys? How about you In and Out? Take Bitcoin!

Then why spend it at all? Just hold it and never spend.

Hmm will this be the new treasury company trend, where retail chains offer lightning option.

What do you do with money? Both save and spend. It’s very apparent that you don’t understand monetary properties
