Square did their part, now let’s do ours. For bitcoin to become everyday money, merchants need to accept it. But first, they’ll need a reason to. We've put together the resources to help anyone make the case that only bitcoin can defeat credit card fees: These resources include persuasive leave-behind materials that bitcoiners can bring to local businesses, from subtle, home printer-friendly handouts to bold, attention‑grabbing combo pieces like, uh, a plushie with impeccable penmanship. But no matter how good a leave-behind is, it’s better with a face. Included with each leave-behind is a playbook for you that includes step‑by‑step guidance for how to make the bitcoin case to merchants. We hope for this community to be an open and independent group with a simple goal: bitcoin payment adoption among merchants—regardless of which point-of-sale solution they prefer. It’s also where all of the resources we’ve mentioned so far can be found for free. For now, if you want the plushie combo, you'll have to pick it up at @bitcoinpark_ in Austin and Nashville, @atlbitlab, @SpaceDenver, and @PresidioBitcoin. This might change, though. Who can say? Bitcoin is weird and it’s only getting weirder.

Can’t wait to dig into this info! Thank you for creating some “how to’s” …I am still learning and find that some are more helpful on nostr than others at sharing the knowledge with others. Cheers, and 🧡 Austin, TX!!!
That's my plan for my city: Creating a flyer. Approaching merchants. Helping to implement. Then buying a coffee with bitcoin.
This cunt has annoyed me. He's absolutely right in what he's saying but what's with all this dollar bullshit? He's English, he's clearly in England so he won't be spending fucking dollars will he, prick🤦🏻‍♂️.
Same, I was going to make my own marketing materials if they didn't, but I expected they would.
In most contries the $100 will end up with the state from all the taxes you will pay…
Great idea! Just a little heads up on the website. Definitely the topic people converse about!! image
One down, working another, many more to come. Sending the YouTube step by step is helpful:
Great stuff. I think starting with the biggest advantage, i.e. the credit card fees is the most impactful. Instead of trying to orange pill all the way. “Do you want to keep 2% more of your own money?”
I am so very excited about the widespread adoption of Bitcoin in San Francisco.
THAT IS INTERESTING, BUT HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THAT PERHAPS YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE IMPORTANT PERSON ON HERE, PERHAPS?

Does square POS enable merchants in New York City to accept bitcoin? We have been accepting bitcoin at @npub1uf7k...ehfe for a few years now. We are currently using Square. If this isn’t possible yet when do you believe Square will acquire the BitLicense required to operate here? @npub1cn4t...3vle says he will acquire the BitLicense very soon.
