has anyone walked into a random business with a square terminal and tried to pay with bitcoin? (where the business was NOT previously accepting bitcoin via square until yesterday?) how did it go?

Doesn't the business still have to approve it as an acceptable form of payment? Or will it work even if they haven't done anything?

This is the idea. The standard will be to accept payments in Bitcoin for every block merchant, they will receive in USD, and they will not pay any fees in 2026. But you need to ask for a qr code to pay specific in BTC Here's a website to search every square merchant https://giveandgetlocal.com/

I heard it was an "opt-out" service, which should mean that it is Bitcoin enabled by default? Also, is this US only or is Canada included?

I just don't know? I assume it's enabled everywhere as a form of payment. Can a business turn it off?
