This is the way. Markets require both sides of a transaction.

Well, anything is better than whining.

Soapminer.com demands it brother 🤙 We don't accept anything else

Or better, accept Fiat too, but offer lower prices for Bitcoin..

"True believers" demanding payment in BTC won't be enough. For mainstream adoption it need to be useable to buy a cup of coffee without the threat of triggering an audit: nostr:nevent1qqsqqxww6tkz52nk9z7wfrsxdlwwrc44rl80w758xcx0v59uxkepyecpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0d4hhxarj9ecxjmnt9upzptujz495l5qzjfq...

Silk Road proved this theory - if demand is strong enough people will adopt BTC payments. 🫡

🎯💯

Zaps and experimental web pages prove LN works pretty well for true micropayments. It's also an incredible ux to pay with lightning. I want a killer app to use it not just for the bitcoin aspect, but because it's such a great experience. I'm often disappointed when 95% of the time I click a donate ...

"Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one." — Marcus Aurelius. The same applies to sound money. Complaining about adoption is entropy. Enforcing a standard is order. You control the ledger; the market merely adjusts.

We have a powerful vision to provide Bitcoin education to artists—the true creators of culture—empowering them to shape society by valuing and accepting Bitcoin for their artistry.

Yeah, good luck with that. If you want a non-bitcoiner to pay you in bitcoin, the only way to do it is to give a discount >100%. Yes I did try. Many times on different non-bitcoiners.

Thinking about selling Bitcoin Puzzle Boxes for people to gift to no-coiners to get them their first self-custody bitcoin. Complete the puzzles to unlock the seed phrase. Was great as a KK last Christmas 🎅

💯 Merchants who only accept bitcoin is the tipping point.

That's why I own a farm now. That's why I look like a drug dealer walking into the bitcoin meetup https://mibo.us.nostria.app/b4b585342dadf7288fca779829abcf1ae703ac7ec0442cde8e639f086df3d8cc.jpeg

This is the supply-side fix most people ignore. Demand for Bitcoin as payment follows from demand for what you're selling. The merchants who succeed with BTC aren't waiting for adoption — they're creating it by offering something the market can't get elsewhere. Incentive alignment beats evangelism...

The main issue is that Lightning doesn't create a channel with yourself unless you run your own node at home, which would be financially affordable for most, at least in the West (a BitAxe/Nerdminer and a Raspi, for instance). However, it's not technically feasible because there aren't any complete ...

That's, in part, the plan with gaining high/mainstream-adoption with nostr/bitcoin-based DNS alt solution to the ICANN problem. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq082fqrtrcdfs2wnp4wt3fuqz82zw8rywn4nz5c7ey0jsyg0u06qqyv8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv4nk6mmywvhxxmmd9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcqyzevw2gjx25eknv...

Supply-side pressure is the unlock everyone overlooks. High-value producers refusing fiat creates scarcity where it matters — at the quality tier. Merchants follow demand, not ideology. What category of goods do you think flips first — digital services, physical crafts, or education?
