I've been working on a merchant onboarding guide now the Square has given 4 million (!) merchants the ability to accept our sats. I'm pretty excited about it.
Square and Cash App rolling out Bitcoin payments is incredible for adoption. They have a ton of great resources on their site. As a small business owner paying $7K-$10K a year in credit card fees, I hate the fees. But at the end of the day I care more about the bottom line than the fee as that’s part of doing business in my industry (trust me, the people I serve aren’t paying in sats in 2026).
So I ran the math on how this affects the bottom line for three different business types. Was it a meaningful amount of savings, say, over 5 years, to accept bitcoin?
What I'm finishing up:
- Main document: How we as Bitcoiners can actually approach local businesses (without leading with the term “sound money” or talking about inflation). Some math, but not a crazy amount. 8-10 min read.
- Four additional resources with detailed numbers, scripts, objection handling, and tax FAQs. 10-20 min read time for these.
Working with Claude AI on this has been a blast, but I'm in the middle of moving and there's real work to close out the year. So I don't know if these get posted in 3 days, 7 days, or 10 days—but they’ll be done soon.
Going to knock this out and get it off my plate. Its taken up a lot of time 😬😂😀
Looking forward to sharing it with you all.
