Email Template for Square Business Owners after you’ve visited their establishment: Hello and To Whom It May Concern, I visited your business this week[end] and had a phenomenal experience. Thank you. I currently keep my checking account in Bitcoin and Bitcoin is also my preferred method of payment. I noticed that you have Square payment terminals. I am kindly requesting your consideration in turning on the Bitcoin payments feature, which was recently released. This will assist both myself as a returning customer, and others who want to pay in Bitcoin, while offering you a 0% transaction fee. You can accept the payment in Bitcoin or US Dollars. If you want to learn more about Bitcoin to determine which is the best choice is for your business, a great place to start is: https://squareup.com/us/en/bitcoin Look forward to returning to your establishment,

A great way to frame an accepting Bitcoin question to a merchant: “Have you ever been asked if you accept Bitcoin before?” It gets them thinking and is more likely to lead to a conversation

@Erik Cason is my favorite podcast guest

@Anil can you share an LNURL address where I can tip you? I tried to do so while checkout out on your website and downloading a free resource but I only saw fiat enabled

You know what’s hard? Running a 🇿🇲 non-profit from the USA w/ its regulatory regime You know what’s easy? Voting once a year to take 30% of your neighbors money for the gov to do philanthropy for you You know what’s easiest? Running a 🇿🇲 non-profit w/ self custody Bitcoin

Every single government program that the establishment left in the US is kicking & screaming about was built through monetary colonialism in the Bretton Woods era. The arguments of these programs being benevolent, philanthropic, & just is factually incorrect from a global lens.

Does Bitcoin as hard money drive a renaissance of artisans and craftsman due to the deluge of mass production becoming less appealing because people aren’t trying to constantly rub two nickels together to make a dollar?

Visa and Mastercard are private companies. Those are our Medium of Exchange competitors, not the US Dollar.

Sorry Johnny, this business doesn’t accept Bitcoin so you’ll have to hold onto your allowance and find a business that has a Bitcoin POS terminal! View quoted note →

Just opened a bank account for a non-profit that I am Board Treasurer of that is not Bitcoin based (for now). Just wow, the amount of questions, time, and red tape was absolutely incredulous. Not only did we have to clear our “good standing” status with the State of Maryland by filing reports with them, but it also took us over 3 hours and 50 questions to get the bank account opened. The fiat system needs to die.

No Presidents are good men, they shouldn’t be put on pedestals, and they shouldn’t be looked to by children as more than just another human being with an inordinate amount of power that is more often than not used for evil. We should be teaching children that goverment is coercive and individuals / families / friends and those in our community are the people that should be looked up to. The public school system largely uses propoganda to put goverment officials on pedestals, reinforcing the wrong message that government officials are a moral North Star. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

I’d really love to understand or hear a podcast on the current technical implementation of tap to pay as it relates to Apple wallet vs other implementations, why Bitcoin NFC cards can’t currently integrate with that ecosystem, how @calle got an alpha version of tap to pay to work with ecash, and what specifically needs to happen to be able to load an NFC card on something like Apple Wallet and use sats to pay. @Guy Swann @CITADEL DISPATCH @Marty Bent @Michael Anton Fischer @TFTC
