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.
