Bitcoin Matters for Small Business in 2025
“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
— Marcus Aurelius
If you’re a small business owner, you already know this:
Everything about the modern financial system is built to extract from you.
Transaction fees. Chargebacks. Compliance burdens. Inflation so predictable they dare call it “transitory.” You show up early, stay late, take the risk — and still, you’re at the mercy of institutions that play by a different set of rules.
That’s why this newsletter exists.
Bitcoin for Small Business is a weekly guide for entrepreneurs who want to build on solid ground. Each issue explores tools, insights, and timeless principles for business owners seeking something better than legacy finance has to offer. Something honest, durable, and sovereign.
This isn’t about speculation. It’s about how to build a business that endures in a system that doesn’t. Running your business with Bitcoin isn’t just ideological; it’s practical. It can preserve more of your capital, streamline operations through better tools, and give you access to global, censorship-resistant liquidity.
What to Expect
Each week, you’ll get:
Real-world use cases of Bitcoin and Lightning for small businesses
Concrete tools you can apply right away
Low time preference thinking for long-term builders
Occasional philosophical provocations, field reports, or stoic reminders that yes, the grind is worth it
No fluff. No scams. No exit strategy — because building is the strategy.
Why Now?
Because the pressure is rising.
And pressure, as Bitcoiners know, is good for proof of work.
As 2025 unfolds, small businesses are caught between:
Rising operating costs and shrinking margins
Increasing reliance on centralized platforms
Economic policies that dilute their efforts in real time
Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to offer something rare:
A way out that doesn’t require permission.
Lightning payments reduce fees and remove middlemen.
On-chain savings protect your time from inflation.
The ethos itself — sovereignty, durability, low time preference — rewires how you think about growth.
Who This Is For
This newsletter is for:
Small business owners who want to accept Bitcoin or already do
Freelancers tired of fiat platforms and centralized payment rails
Creators who believe in sovereignty and want tools to match
Builders who know the game is rigged — but build anyway
Why It’s Free
Because building trust comes before asking for it.
If you find value here, consider zapping some sats or sharing it with someone who might. Down the road, we may offer a paid tier with deeper guides, interviews, or something unexpected.
But for now — we build.
Zap. Save. Share.
