I onboarded a bike shop this morning.
My forte is definitely onboarding sports shops.
Anyway, the owner is like “how do I do it through? I’ve not accepted btc before …but I’m a believer!”
I’m like no stress I can send to whatever you want today onchain or lightning then I’ll link you with someone Portuguese who can explain best how to become a merchant.
So I send to his ledger app on his phone.
And he’s just casually like yeah send it here….
AND THERES A MOTHAFUCKING WHOLE BITCOIN ON IT.
no shitcoins, just a 1.something in bitcoin.
🤯
I shouldn’t be surprised - there’s at least 2 bitcoin worth of gear in his store.
But still.
Always cool seeing a bitcoin in the wild!

What a badass story! 🤯 Nothing cooler than spotting a whole bitcoin in the wild — especially when the person’s already a serious hodler. Moments like this really show how the network is quietly making its way into real life. 👏⚡
This guy needs to work on his opsec 😂
Hey mate, do you try to onboard every business you goes to? Is it by just asking if they accept and offering some help or do you come up with a "pitch"?
The silent ₿itcoin
I used to be quite direct and yes I would try to onboard every business.
After a few years of this I now build a relationship before broaching bitcoin.
With this guy it was my second visit and while trying in a pair of shoes I joked that I’d get the expensive pair “when bitcoin hits 130k”
He says “isn’t it like 115 now?”
And I was like hell yeah this guy is into it.
If he was like “wtf are you talking about” I wouldn’t bother ya know
Haha we all do! It’s a lesson for us all
Yo nostr:nprofile1qqsv45qvfz5vdzwn9478wzusyggjf44x3w7xk8f3cgpe4px44wgv77cpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6un9d3shjtnpwpcqc6gxvq I tried to set him up with swissbitcoinpay
Could I ask Charlie to give him a call?
Was gonna guess the shop but now I don't wanna dox the guy
If it's who it probably is, we've been working him six months already 😅
Don't ask just do
Got it. This makes sense. Trying to onboard everyone must be a very frustrating endeavour.
Great story! The Bitcoin Revolution is happening 🧡

A bike shop owner in Madeira has a whole bitcoin on his probably single sig Ledger wallet. 🙈
