In 2026, should we kill the fiat rails on our webshop and become bitcoin only again?

Currently shop intake (couple $100k) is 70% fiat.

We convert it all directly into bitcoin when we sell items.

It’s now been almost 2 years since a payment provider for fiat granted us the use of fiat rails again. We lost that back in 2022, because we were “doing something with bitcoin”.

So many people are paying with creditcards or Apple Pay while your data is spread through payment provider and banks into a lot of databases you don’t want to be in… Especially in EU.

My opinion is that starters still prefer paying in fiat as they still learning about Bitcoin and how to safely transact with, leaving both options fiat and BTC payments is an option. On the other end, the more we see a circular economy popping up the better and payments with Bitcoin will become more standard.

Pushing small shop owners, businesses to accept Bitcoin payments is needed, hopefully we see this happening more in 2026 all over the EU, which are way behind the US on businesses accepting bitcoin payments 😉
