There’s 4 million square merchants in the US. I imagine we could have a simple toggle to let merchants opt into automatically being added to the map.

Suggested business decision maker flow: If business decision maker opts into keeping some part of payment in sats, then suggest opt-in to publishing of location on btcmap.org, and sending a “btc accepted here” sticker or two.

And having the option to convert directly to fiat, there’s zero reason for a seller not to want to opt in
Yeah, something along these lines. We need to be highlighting the difference for sure. Verification of intent difficult though.
There’s 50 million students whose schools don’t have SatsRewards system built in yet.
Shoot them a catchy notification when we hit the next ATH. Maybe highlight to them an estimate how many young people already own Bitcoin in their area.
*BTW I'd be curious what happened with the "Square Merchant Directory" from 2012. It would be great to revive it, make it public, add flags for accepting Bitcoin, Location (physical/online) and let devs to create new discovery methods and channel all the traffic to you and your merchants.

Beard Papa will increase their sales by Bitcoin payment.
I have been trying to convince some cash-only vendors I pass by everyday to use Square. They are extremely resistant. What am I doing wrong?
