I just encountered a square merchant that accepted bitcoin even though they didn’t know they did. There was a toggle on the pay screen to let me choose to pay with bitcoin. I paid with my cash balance on @Cash App and there was no 0.9% fee. I also got 5% bitcoin back on the purchase. 🚀

just noticed that cash app now adds a 0.9% fee when paying lightning invoices using your cash balance 🙁. guess they had to cover the loophole of people paying their own lightning invoices and stacking sats with no fees. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqczwjmsfnym2zpyg89vtqs95weewpuz Show more

It was at Poke-Poke in East Austin. They are not even on the map in Cash App yet.

Sounds like a very P2P trade using Bitcoin as cash.

I just noticed that the Bitcoin symbol had one line instead of two, hopefully indicating that those are sats, not full BTCs. Is that becoming a new standard?

no 0.9% fee? Interesting. Makes perfect sense, though, to waive that fee when you're just paying one of their other clients via square (they likely aren't even actually converting to BTC since they can just adjust the custodied balances on each side of the transaction). *I'm going to assume someon...

Why can't they just have it accept bitcoin for every merchant always? The merchant can decide what that translates to, dollars or bitcoin
