Hey #plebchain

I know many of y’all have experienced the range of pushback when seeking to introduce Bitcoin to your fiat job in one context or another. I’d love to hear your stories.

Today, I had somewhat mixed (mostly meh) results when I kicked off the “how can we incorporate Bitcoin optionality into checkout” conversation with the dev team today.

I was met with a combination of creative workarounds and dismissive chuckles… a reminder of how early we really still are.

Looks like an OOBP workaround will be the move for now. A bit disappointed, but not surprised, considering it’s only 0.05% of the client base asking for it.

On the plus side, it was an opportunity to educate one of our investors about transaction fees and L2 endeavors. He asked good questions with curious skepticism, rather than derision. And hey I got to talk about Bitcoin. So that’s a start.

I tried it at some point in a company but beyond the skepticism and the monster of “#bitcoin is a scam” the question was: why spend money, resources and time on implementing a payment solution that no one would currently use?

Yeah it’s tough. With only a single client asking, it’s hard for someone who doesn’t know or care about Bitcoin to justify devoting developer resources to it
