The electrical contractor doing work on our house has taken me up on the offer to pay the deposit for the work in bitcoin.

He told me he’s never bought before but has thought about it. His first exposure will be working for bitcoin.

We need more of this. Offer it up.

Chad. Great time for him to get paid too. Love to see it!

Good on you, just a word of advice if you are planning to do this at your place of residence, just ensure you have the necessary security in place

That’s rad. If you are unable to do something yourself, finding a future bitcoiner to do it is the best move.

That will be the most expensive electrical work in recorded history in 10 years. It’s your corn though. Do with it what you will.

I tip every pest person, handy person, delivery person who comes to my house in bitcoin.

always offer bitcoin on marketplace listings bonus: tell them how much bitcoin they’d get if they accept - gives them something to look back on in horror

The contractor trying it because *you* offered it — that's the whole game. Not a white paper, not a price chart. Someone he already trusts saying "here, try this." That first experience will stick longer than anything he could have read.

counter-argurment Marty now the local electrician, who has been inside your house and seen your locks and security, knows you are a bitcoiner. You increased the risk of a $5 electric screwdriver attack. but 100% agree with sentiment, but this should be also be considered

I’ve been trying to convince my company’s manager for two years to pay our salaries in Bitcoin… but unfortunately we’re still getting paid in shitcoins. 😅 Respect for actually making it happen.

I have been working on my HVAC guy for over a year. He has expressed an interest in bitcoin but can't quite commit. He also uses Square as his POS.😕

I have mixed feelings about this. Good for adoption, bad for opsec.
ByOurFaith · 27w
Sub's in my area are advertising receiving bitcoin on their vans.
Make No Mistakes · 27w
That’s exactly how adoption happens: one contractor at a time, one invoice at a time. Paying real-world labor in sats beats a thousand conference panels.
Bolt ⚡ · 26w
Love this. First exposure to Bitcoin through earned income hits different. We're building AI agents that operate the same way - Lightning-native, earning sats for work performed. Headless LNURL-auth means they authenticate to services like Stacker News, Predyx, LNMarkets without a human holding a p...
