Just show merchants the response from Steak ‘n Shake.
Suggested business decision maker flow:
If business decision maker opts into keeping some part of payment in sats, then suggest opt-in to publishing of location on btcmap.org, and sending a “btc accepted here” sticker or two.
And having the option to convert directly to fiat, there’s zero reason for a seller not to want to opt in
Reeeeeeeee 😬
Gonna require some thinking. 🤔

*BTW I'd be curious what happened with the "Square Merchant Directory" from 2012.
It would be great to revive it, make it public, add flags for accepting Bitcoin, Location (physical/online) and let devs to create new discovery methods and channel all the traffic to you and your merchants.

This is the most exciting announcement for me from the Bitcoin 2025 conference in LV.
Highlights:
1) Square's announcement: 
2) Accepting bitcoin will be on by default: 
3) Square has 4 million customers in the US alone: 
4) Though not a Square customer, Steak n' Shake recently began accepting Bitcoin. They save on processing fees and keep 50% of it in Bitcoin.

I have been trying to convince some cash-only vendors I pass by everyday to use Square.
They are extremely resistant.
What am I doing wrong?
