Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day! I would've taken a picture of my pizza but I was so hungry that I forgot and ate all of it.

The demand to pay for things with Bitcoin is there and is massive. It's just merchants pos systems are too slow or aren't able to adopt.

Shakepay the Canadian Bitcoin company, recently released a feature that shows stores across Canada where users are spending with the Shakepay card. It’s only been live for a day, and already thousands of businesses across the country appear on the map, showing how widely users are using the Shakepay Visa debit card. The important detail is that this is not direct Bitcoin adoption by merchants. The card works like a normal Visa debit card: users convert their Bitcoin into CAD before making a purchase, while merchants continue operating entirely within the traditional fiat payment system. What this demonstrates is that there is already significant consumer demand to spend Bitcoin. Right now, people are converting BTC into CAD because most merchants do not accept Bitcoin directly. This is where companies like Block showed the right direction. What Shakepay and similar companies need to do is integrate Bitcoin payments directly into merchants POS systems, while automatically converting the Bitcoin into CAD behind the scenes. That way, merchants would not need to manage Bitcoin volatility, custody, accounting, or technical implementation themselves. The demand to pay with Bitcoin clearly exists and is massive. The missing piece is making merchant acceptance seamless and invisible to businesses. Unfortunately, the app is currently available only to Canadians, and the map feature can only be viewed by Shakepay users. image

On my Bitcoin shakepay account. On the "wen physical card" contest. I went from #1082 to #3320 on the waitlist. I went down a lot. From what I understand, you need to use your card the most in order to make it to #1 I used my card once since the contest started.

US is coming for all the communists. Rubio revoked the green card of a Cuban military insider's sister living comfortably in Florida. Adys Lastres Morera, sister of the head of GAESA. Cuba's military-run financial empire was arrested by ICE and is now in custody. Reason: Managing real estate assets in the U.S. while allegedly funneling support back to the regime. Rubio's message was blunt: "There will be nowhere on this Earth. much less in our country. where foreign nationals who threaten our national security can live lavishly." This is the new playbook. Go after the family. Go after the assets. The era of regime-linked elites parking money and relatives in the U.S. is closing fast.

people make fun of the Chinese for eats bugs, but people eat shrimp and they are technically bugs of the ocean! I didn't know what shrimp actually looked like until I went to China because in Canada they sell them with the heads and legs so they don't look like bugs. I got scared when I saw them in China, I didn't know how to eat them and was wondering why they looked scary and gross.

Shakepay the Canadian Bitcoin company says they are getting closer to launching their physical visa/debit Bitcoin card. You can now add yourself on their waitlist. They want you to go into stores and use their digital card so you can move up the list on their waitlist or something like that. I added myself and I am about around number 1000 on the wait-list. I'm not going to participate in their waitlist game I'll just wait. Probably take a year or something to get my card i think. I dunno. Shakepay is only for Canadians. I recommend their app tho. I tested it and used it a few times and had no issues.

The Japanese make bad games. They are stuck in their own bubble that all their games now look the same and act the same.

I'm Canada, a teen got her lip bitten off at a high school by another teen. The highschool is an indigenous people school. Then the other week another teen at a non-indigenous highschool got beat so bad she had a concussion and two back eyes. What's going on inside Canadian government schools? It's normal actually. They are government schools and badly run, better to homeschool your children.

Amethyst just updated the app again and added a new feature called Calendars. You can now discover events happening around you or create your own. For example, if you want to go biking, you can create an event and let other people join. It’s a really cool feature. Amethyst keeps getting better!
