While Governmental agencies are providing the "organization" for some trade shows, directories, seminars, etc.

Most of the people sad to say have not actually dealt in person in other Countries. Have not have to deal with how to handle requests for payola, getting your goods cleared by regional Governmental employees on other Countries even though all paperwork has been "by the book".

Using Bitcoin for payments is actually safer for all parties concerned in a transaction. Never the less, B2B using BTC on chain and Lightning will grow faster in other Countries than the USA.

The good news is (mark my words) there will be a rush to supply the rebuilding of Ukraine and other Countries. Along with mid-sized dealers of Cat, Deere, Komatsu machinery, parts etc.

B2B payments of Bitcoin is quietly already taken place. Requests for these type of goods is already happening.

Not a relay.....but from Human response me Hong Kong distributor is my largest B2B STOCKING distributor they resell into Shenzhen China. I'm telling you Hong Kong will be one of the fastest growing areas for B2B use of Bitcoin in general.

We should welcome and encourage any communication with meet up groups, developers, etc. We "feel" the positive vibe coming from there (Hong Kong Shenzhen) here in Honolulu.

Watch for my posts to merchants, suppliers in Hong Kong AND Macau.

Think Cantonese NOT just Mandarin.
Just sayng this is where relay traffic will come from very, very soon.
Even Costco just opened in Shenzhen.

I use it on my shopify site,

https://globalmerchant.io

you can use ibex pay, which I use customers can still use credit cards, etc. but I am trying to focus on receiving SATS.
In aut sends to my designated wallet every 24 hours.

you do NOT have to kyc with ibex pay if you just want to receive SATS.

I used to use open node but AFTER a time they want all kinds of KYC stuff. No thank you.

I'm happy with ibex pay. I also have the ibex pay on my phone for in person event stuff when people just want a quick pay.

When you least expect opportunities open up you meet someone or a friend, customer, supplier who might ask you about Bitcoin or Lightning or Nostr or “crypto”.

Before I would spend time trying to explain everything. Now I just show them my phone that has Ibexpay point of sale. And/or a wallet. Do a small transaction between two wallets, and they “Get it”.

Sometimes less is more. I try not to debate about “crypto”.
I keep things on the positive things using the Point of sale system on my phone and my websites.

Letting them know my some of my customers and suppliers use similar wallets or point of sale systems.

I don’t have to worry about charge backs.

That I’m moving from twitter to Nostr, because more positive people, and I can learn about things related to Bitcoin.

Be patient with people, but don’t let them waste your time. If they just want to debate, That’s not my thing.
