My first Bitcoin transaction to a Square merchant for this beautiful Henri Matisse Lithograph of the 1000 Arabian nights. I found it at a tiny vintage store owned by a Gen-Z named Lilly in Greenwich, CT. I noticed she had Square running on an iPad and when I inquired about the print she said I’ll give you 10% off if you pay cash. I replied how about 20% and I’ll pay you in Bitcoin. She looked at me incredulous and asked how? I pointed at her Square iPad. She said really?!! That’s so sick! I showed her how to turn on Bitcoin payments on the spot. 30 seconds later she had her Bitcoin wallet setup. I paid with Zeus connected to my Node at home. The transaction was more than $600 so we split it in 2. Worked flawlessly, routed through @Nodestrich ♾️ node ⚡️ She had no idea about the price of a coin but was just so happy to receive her first sats. She told me she was going to hold onto them forever. Now, for the pain points. She had her Square POS app running in retail mode and Bitcoin didn’t show up on her checkout screen as an option even after she had turned it on. We had to switch her app to standard POS, which she was more happy to do but that was far from ideal since it required so much handholding on my part. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do that at a busy coffee shop for example. Is there any reason why Bitcoin is only available in standard POS mode? @npub1ds3h...hzcn you guys should definitely look into a fix. Other than that 10/10 experience 🤝 Bitcoin for art. Bullish.

Trying a test run of the Square interface as a merchant so I can better educate shops at my local town — Am I missing something to accept Bitcoin as payment? I can only seem to do the conversion part 🤨 Cc @npub1ds3h...hzcn Anyone tried this? #asknostr

You’re big in the design world @ZEUS 😏

I just ordered 200K sats worth of sushi and it got delivered without any chopsticks. Apparently I needed to request them upon ordering. Clown world.

How do you get on zero fiat if you have to service the interest of your bitcoin loans with fiat every month? Am I missing something?

Normalize saying my two sats instead of my two cents. People will ask you questions.

Node went offline during my great road trip and got a few channel causalities 🥴 sorry @The Fishcake (nostr.build)

My grandmother left us today. 106 years of old. More than a century of history. Over her lifetime the Lebanese pound was subject to a 126,000x devaluation. An average of about –11.7%/yr compounded in USD. The lira lost about 99.9992% of its dollar value over that span. She understood all of this. She once showed my mother a 1LL bill from the1930’s and said: This was when the money was worth something in this country. They destroyed it all.

@Great Ghee What's the difference between the 100% grass-fed + Pasture raised and simply Pasture raised? Curious what those cows eat

Hear me out, it’s a country club for Bitcoiners. Call it Bitcoin Country.

We will teach the suitcoiners a lesson in scarcity.
