yeah...

"independent businesses will hodl until Bitcoin standard" is hopium

personally its what my business does..

and we mostly succeed in not even being in a position to sell BTC. we have extremely low expenses.

but my rancher cant do that for example.

its not a viable strategy at scale.

thanks for the conversation tho

The question is, is % bitcoin revenue > % savings. It has nothing to do with field of the business or the size of the numbers or profit %.

Unless businesses are in the Bitcoin field or are very deliberate and selective about customers the % Bitcoin sales is usually very low.

well then youve identified a second bootstrapping problem

why would a business invest in its own infrastructure for a payment method with is hardly used?

also it isnt strictly correct to say it has nothing to do with the type of business.

obviously someone who decides to start a VPS provider is better situated to run their own LN infrastructure than a farmer.

and it certainly does also depend on how profitable the business is.

a business with good margins wont need to sell their Bitcoin, even if it makes of a larger % of their total gross

than a business that has razor margins and always needs their assets liquid.
