The way I see it, the difference is that if the merchant is not a bitcoiner at worst he'll think you're trying to scam him, and at best he'll see Bitcoin as a marketing gimmick and will exchange any sats he earns for fiat ASAP.

OTOH a bitcoiner with a business understands your points and would not only be happy to earn sats, but it's also more likely that he'll cling to them and eventually spend them directly on other bitcoiners, which can eventually bootstrap a parallel private economy.

In other words I don't think the orange pilling is optional.
