Accidentally orange-pilled a sticker vendor in Mexico. I only had 500 peso notes, and he didn't have change. So I had him install Wallet of Satoshi and sent him 100 pesos (~$5 USD) via Lightning.
He was actually pretty clueful. He seemed to understand that this was like digital gold. He also seemed to understand me when I explained how Bitcoin was a protocol – kinda like email – and that's why I was able to use different software to send him Bitcoin than Wallet of Satoshi. And he seemed to understand that since the amount was so small, Wallet of Satoshi was the one who actually had his Bitcoin, not him.
Second time I found someone who was willing to accept ₿, but normally didn't. First time was a t-shirt vendor who knew all about Bitcoin, but didn't himself have a wallet, and just got his friend to accept it for him.
Bitcoin is getting to the point where so many people know about it that you don't have to convince people its valuable. They already basically know what it is even if they've never personally used it.
