GM 😀👊☕️ ✅ walked the dog ✅ 21 min of much needed meditation ✅ cold shower ✅ fancy coffee Aiming to be useful this morning, and stay curious as the day goes on. I’m taking on a coaching role at my kid’s school and we have our first team meeting today. Should be fun. 😀 Have a great day! #coffeechain #plebchain

GM 😀👊☕️ ✅ walked the dog (with a bit of jogging) ✅ 21 min of much needed meditation ✅ cold shower Full day on tap and a couple interactions that could be tricky. Glad I meditated - it’s sort of like banking some serenity and calm on a day like this. Have a great day! #coffeechain #plebchain

It’s been a good day. Belated high five to nostr:nprofile1qqswucpjs0ltcnp3kzvsxwfypz30luw676dvyfz2te9dqlk280remmqpr9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuurvv43xx6rpd9hzummjvuq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wv44mz3x for his epic run in Moab last weekend. And check out what nostr:nprofile1qqsxa7m5ue4ha4lmn7mm3w839c0mh2l873vz8ge6zjkxpnyjgy592dspzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcuay2v9 did with a RasPi. Light #zaplog the last few days - I’ll engage more this weekend. GN 😀👊💤

I’m a bit obsessed with how to onboard local merchants. I had modeled out what the Square terminal - and @CashApp changes - could do for a coffee shop, liquor store, and a boutique in a cool kid neighborhood. I’m using Logan Square in Chicago, home to @strike. But tonight someone said they loved going to a meet up at a brewery, so I modeled that. The numbers for the brewery are the most compelling. I’ll share the details soon, but long story short is this merchant can have a stack 0.3 btc over the next 5 years if they: 1. Accept bitcoin via their Square terminal. 2. Have just 1% of customers pay in btc in 2026, then see that grow linearly 4% by 2030. 3. Keep 50% of those sales in bitcoin. The assumption is they do 1 million in revenue. For that neighborhood that’s very realistic, and on the lower end. The coffee shop does 400k and the liquor store does 700k so we have three different revenue levels. What questions do you want answered when I release this? 100 sats for the best question⚡️ #bitcoin #merchantadoption #circulareconomy

GM 😀👊☕️ ✅ walk with the dog ✅ cold shower ✅ 21 min of meditation I’m aiming to be grateful today, and be useful and kind. I wish I had some cash under the mattress to buy some #bitcoin but I’ve spent all I can above 100k. Have a great day. #coffeechain #plebchain

It's done! 😀 After a couple of weeks of work, and a couple of late nights, I'm excited to share my take on onboarding merchants who are using a Square POS terminal. The rabbit hole I went down was simple: If my favorite coffee shop, which uses Square, were to start accepting bitcoin, what does it do for their bottom line? The article below takes 10-12 minutes to read and includes: - Real financial projections for coffee shops, liquor stores, and boutiques - How the 50/50 strategy (half cash, half Bitcoin) adds $20K-$51K over 5 years - Why transaction size matters (boutiques save 19x more per transaction than coffee shops) - Why I'm not convinced we should lead with "no chargebacks" This is for Bitcoiners who want to help local merchants adopt Bitcoin. Lead with their bottom line, not our conviction. https://yakihonne.com/article/s/orangedad85@happytavern.co/7DJdOYHpKS_CxgtygHrQJ Obviously I'd love it if you'd share this with others and repost it, but mostly I'm happy that (a) I created something useful and (b) I get to share this on Nostr.
