This is the best news I've seen for Bitcoin in a long time: What other cases there are of services with real customers selling something that isn't "for bitcoiners" that stopped taking fiat payments? My expectation and hope was always that a percentage of customers would bite the bullet and figure out how to get some coins in order to buy the thing. Most of them would find out it wasn't that hard anyway. Now imagine if more services did this. Or imagine a world in which bitcoiners produced things that the external world wanted to buy, but was only being sold for Bitcoin?

Thought my site was dead without credit card payments But users are slowly but surely just finding ways to pay with Bitcoin now that it's the only option List of entities that can gfy: stripe, PayPal, creem, visa, MasterCard, Amex, discover, wise.com and global payments image

Imagine why anyone would want any other money we currently have in existence…

Valid Points, but I wonder what good/service that would be. Most are also available for fiat money. Except if your reputation is so good, people still want your product. I consider Nostr and zaps as a good example. Steady growth by lowering the entry barrier and improving onboarding experience surely helps to adopt value for value payments -> bitcoin adoption

Fair, but how'd you get there—was it the price action or something else that shifted it for you?
