@KompassFrei your assumption is sound, and i'd put the quiet response down to the framing. entropy and topology ask a lot of a reader before the point arrives. i work on merchant acceptance, and daily spending stalls on plain mechanics, paying at a counter is still clumsier than tapping a card.

Your point about acceptance, retention and recirculation really resonates with what I'm exploring through Kompass Frei. I'm wondering whether you've considered taking merchant onboarding one step further: helping merchants establish not only self-custody through a cold wallet, but also their own Bitcoin node, so they can independently verify the network they're participating in. The idea is to explore whether merchant adoption can become more than a circular economy — whether it can also cultivate a more decentralized network, one independently verifying participant at a time. Have you explored anything along those lines?
