I run monthly supper clubs with my wife. We accept Bitcoin as payment. Come join us www.henryherbert.co.uk
Absolutely loved this weekends Feast. Was really happy with the food, the flowers my very talented wife did were amazing. Mostly though it was just great to have lots of people having a good time. Next Feast is in June. Friday the 6th is sold out , this is our Bitcoin Feast with @npub1rwpy...x25z and Jordon Walker but I do have some spaces for the Saturday. Will be great to host you. Thank you
I just bought 23,157 shares of @smarterwebuk at 3p a share. If they make it to the FTSE100 the smallest current MkCap is 3.4billion. This gives a share price of £23 with 146million shares. So my return would be £500k. Not bad (if it happens 😉) Mostly I am happy to support a Bitcoin company with roots in Bristol, if it rides up then happy days. And my SIPP cant buy BTC as our wonderful leaders wont allow us to be so risky and foolish with our money 😂 So a British bitcoin company is good enough for me.
Well this is quite exciting (I think so anyway!) I have been accepting Bitcoin as a payment at my feast with henry herbert supper clubs for a year now. This has been a great move for me as it has widened my reach to new customers, which is always a challenge for any small and young business. Taking payments in Bitcoin in person is super easy and there are some great solutions available. I use @npub1musq...v5kr as they integrate bitcoin and card payments all on one device, so its super easy for the customer to chose their preferred payment and my serving staff don't need to worry about getting a different device out etc. It just works. The problem I had is I couldn't work out how to accept Bitcoin payments on my website. I have built my website using Wix, this works well but I wasn't able to add Bitcoin payments easily. The options were re-build my website on WordPress (but I have just done this one and I don't have loads of time to rebuild a new website), so my solution has been a bit clunky with a bitcoin discount code etc that means anyone looking to pay in the future of money couldn't actually pay. This not only is not a great sign for new comers but also means I cant take a deposit which puts my small business at risk from cash flow and customers able to not turn up with no kick back. Well that was until now..... I have just incorporated Swiss Bitcoin Pay my Wix website and you can now pay on-chain or lightning Bitcoin (see video) This really is a game changer for me and again strengthens my belief that Bitcoin is working and is here to stay. Also, when you pay in bitcoin I get the money at the speed of light, with 0.21% fee. I can then chose to hold this in Bitcoin or flip to £'s depending on my cash flow. As a small business I can only dream of getting paid that quick and at such low rates. The banks cant compete with this better technology (they will probably have to join or they will be left in the dust) Any way, this got me excited and I thought I would share. https://blossom.primal.net/c33ce293db3a4c47d1f733cc8e86bfdea9e57 5003097b41003c3c8c6926eb7f7.mp4

Today I had a very good chat with the Boss of a big green energy about tapping into bitcoin mining to help manage energy curtailment. I didn't have massive expectations, but it was a really positive chat. The main take away was how little Bitcoin was understood, so my proposal to plug some miners in was almost alien, but after 20mins of trying to explain he was pretty interested and surprised that other countries were already doing it and that there were public listed companies already racing ahead. That got his interest up. I'm not saying anything will happen but to me it really highlights how early we are in the UK, but also as we are early, there is so much potential and growth. Exciting times. Will keep you updated as to what happens next (if anything happens)

I have managed to get a meeting with a big green energy owner in the UK to discuss Bitcoin mining and how it could help with energy curtailment etc. Who would be good to speak to/ reference in terms of trying to build a case for getting them excited about what bitcoin can do for the UK. I'm no expert but have managed to get a meeting! thanks

So SBR was announced end of last week (you decide if you like it or not but no denying it’s a big thing) Flicking through the Sunday Times and there was one small article referencing it but angled as being of no real significance and just trump appeasing his base who lobbied a lot. We are still so early! When this things gets going it’s going to drive people nuts 😆
