I pay my coffee in bitcoin every day. Breakfast too, most days. My favorite lunch place doesn't accept bitcoin yet, but that will probably change soon.

Nice dinner for two? Pay in bitcoin. No problem. It's so normal for me now I don't even think about it, and I rarely celebrate it. But we should. We should celebrate how far we've come.

I went to the dentist yesterday and paid in bitcoin. My favorite barber takes bitcoin too, as does my handyman and other people that help me with stuff. There's never an issue. QR code, scan, boom. Sats fly through the Lightning Network and it's done. Thank you, bye, see you tomorrow.

Granted, hyperbitcoinization isn't evenly distributed yet, but some people are already on the other side of it. And it feels very normal. Just like having access to the internet at all times feels very normal today, but it was an outrageous thing 30 years ago.

Stay humble. Stack sats. And see you on the other side.

Incredible, you sir are living in the future🍯🦡🚀

Where do you live where so many vendors and even your dentist accept BTC? I’m envious! Would love to do that but nobody takes it here!

It makes a lot of sense to support businesses that accept Bitcoin. But how did you orange pill them?

Using Bitcoin as a SOV and MOE is the only impactful vote I can cast, that along with raising some good kids (fingers crossed) and working hard to create value for society. Politics and its practitioners are parasites, feeding into the worst instincts in all of us. Bitcoin is the only viable antidot...

> Stack sats. Sorry you want us to stack sats or spend says?

mandalorianhodl · 45w

do you denominate the prices in sats or still in euro or dollars?

Wow where are you living? NS Canada is too far from the Bitcoin standard

Love this. Are they all doing QR codes? Any trad payment rails?

Proof of work. Since no one pays me in bitcoin directly, I mow so I don’t have to sell any bitcoin for dirty dirty fiat. One day at a time. https://blossom.primal.net/cd3f4457197a0c6efa7a46a16f78f747478f09afd7db567d03d63d048cd1ee7d.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/f2f601b89be841f19d2392d39faf5716d2...

I'd love to spend my sats that easily! I would also like to have a convenient way to replace those sats, buying the same amount I just spent. Unfortunately, spending bitcoin to purchase goods or service triggers an hefty capital gain taxation that really makes a spend-n-replace approach too costly...

you seem to live in switzerland 🤔

Es wird keine Hyperbitcoinization geben, du Idiot.

The convenience of QR codes and the Lightning Network 🔥

what service do you use?

I am not yet there to use BTC as moe. It's just too hard to replace the stack you have worked so hard to acquire.

I long for this — not only because it’s amazing, but because it works instantly and seamlessly. No fiat faff!

Amen! I am a creature of habit and have found that once the staff or owner gets to know you, it’s only a matter of time before the “Bitcoin conversation” happens naturally… and next thing you know, they’re asking how to accept it. Proof-of-work, in real life. 🧡 nostr:nprofile1qqsxu35y...

In which world do you live? Seems like a lot of place accepts it

What country are you in to have this ability?

I have a question (forgive me if it sounds naive.) What would happen if Bitcoin transactions were to be restricted? (For instance, if a government were to consider banning Bitcoin ownership.) My motivation is about preserving my fundamental right to utilize the value I've legitimately earned as I se...
