This afternoon, I had an in-depth conversation with a local business owner who runs a long-standing, respected retail business. He barely made it through lockdowns, and now is getting crushed by inflation. His input costs have risen 3-5x. He's been saving in Bitcoin, personally, and now wants to do so for his business.

We're getting him started using nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7enjv4h8xtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uqzpzkc78mcers3je3y9c520js4eymtyw5en40mjxl7fez89ckkat64azpmc6 to trial accepting Lightning payments. His 'Why' is crystal clear. Now it's just a matter of how.

I expect to see a lot more of this.

Awesome.

Rinse.

Repeat.

ARR baby!

Is bitvora KYC? I just tried to create an account but it requires at least a verified phone number (I stopped at that step).

As long as he'll be using something custodial, might as well go for coinos.io and enable the automatic withdrawals with a low threshold.

Swiss Bitcoin Pay is also good (up to about 5000 USD per year without KYC).

Zaprite handles all the invoicing is non-custodial (and can also be connected with coinos.io (which is custodial)).

If he's just doing retail payments, he could just use his phone with Green. He might also use the Bullbitcoin app or Aqua (which can take lightning payments but convert them to liquid in the background).

The best is probably btcpayserver if they can run their own server or get technical help.

Nice work! One merchant at time…
