BTC and small businesses

Hello to all the podcasters and great minds that share their time and knowledge on them!

As of late ive been listening to quite a few chats about how big corporations have been adopting Saylor's strategy and all that entails. And thats awesome! It seems to me its saved and will save a number of them and the people who work in them while also making a new sort of bank or investment vehicle that investors can hitch their wagon to.

What i dont hear but desperately want to is how small businesses can adopt a BTC strategy and implement a payment system. Theres way more small businesses, startups, sideworkers, gig workers, hobbyists, etc out there.

I would like to be an early adoptor for my sidehustle. I know there exist some companies that accept and help you manage crypto payments but it seems to me the amount of sales dont justify the cost of entry. Or maybe i just dont know what i dont know? Im sure theres easy ways to p2p like wallets that accept multiple coin types but i worry that buyers either wont have or want to spend crypto, ill have to convert "other" to BTC, ill mess it up, ill expose myself and lose money, theyll mess it up and send it elsewhere(that one really sucks, now im not selling anything and their out money-ouch) not to mention the tax ramifications of all those transactions and swaps, what money did i extract to purchase stuff etc.

I just posted a thread about what adoption might look like over time and this sutuation plays a part of that. I cant force BTC adoption but i can enable it! Having a side hustle pay me in BTC allows me to continue stacking but it also will be a motivator to spend in BTC. Actually, you know what? We should all be using sats. Pretty sure none of us are doing whole coin transactions on the regular. Its sats, say it, use it, be the grammar police and make everyone else do the same. Normalize talking about sats, what things cost in sats. Think in sats. Dream in sats. Is there a symbol for a sat?

Anyway, please, can we start talking about day to day adoption, how to do it, why to do it, create new ways to let small businesses do it? The regular person needs some guidance and discussion around sats. Anybody wanna help me create a pod? We can call it "Sats talk" or "Lets talk about Sats" or "How to Satoshi" (that one sounds like a dance style) or something.

I do realize i can do this on paypal, cashapp, and others but id like to remove myself from a custodial type situation. I also use a credit union and that has restricted me from utilizing alot of the tech that is SATSπŸ˜‰ based. Like somehow not using a predatory bank is penalized. I know, its the regulations. Just saying, its not like i didnt at least try a few things.

I hear all my podcasters talking to big tech and mining companies, wheres the small fry? Not as exciting i know but definitely more relatable to the listener. Im ready to be bored to tears about how Jan from Sheboygan sells her doylies on Etsy and gets paid in SATS and has now found out she can get her groceries from the local small independant grocer and is just tickled she can pay in SATS. I mean ill hate it eventually but by that time it will be the norm.

Have a fantastic day! πŸš€πŸŒ™
