So you are just saying that they should make their business the way you want them to and serve the customers that you wish they would rather than what they want to build?

The Bitcoin Company provides me a very valuable service and I appreciate them and really hope they don’t switch to merchant POS systems because that’s not something I need.

Plus, the overwhelming majority of merchants just turn it back into fiat, using bitcoin for payments, and fiat as their money.

IMO the opposite is far more valuable, using Bitcoin as money, and only using fiat for its payment network, until we get to the point where that isn’t necessary. Which occurs when everyone realizes they should save in Bitcoin.

I guess we can just agree to disagree. No disrespect.

Here is how is done properly. I do not see anybody in these videos paying with a VISA card and saying that they used Bitcoin...

That’s literally awesome dude, but if the merchant isn’t accepting bitcoin, then it makes literally no difference than buying a gift card and doing this with someone else.

This is using Lightning as a payment mechanism, which is important and a big part of adoption. But the bigger problem is getting people to hold bitcoin as their dominant money, and both merchant adoption, and the ability to use it *without* merchant adoption, are critical to that.

Both are necessary for adoption from both the merchant and user side, and from the monetary base and payment side.
