Talked to a friend the other day who runs a small business. He's not a bitcoiner but I've talked to him about it here and there. He mentioned how much they have to pay in credit card fees, so naturally I brought up the ability to circumvent that using lightning. I showed him Zaprite and he seemed genuinely interested. At $25 per month for a Zaprite subscription, and assuming that you save 2% in fees and pass half of that savings back to the customer (i.e. you save 1%), you'd need to get $2,500 per month paid in Bitcoin. The conversation ended with "this doesn't quite make financial sense... yet" but I don't think it'll be long until it becomes a no-brainer for most small businesses, even if neither the business nor the customers care about Bitcoin.

Surely there are better options out there than a monthly subscription based custodial solution? 🤔

From what I understand, Zaprite doesn't ever touch your funds. Rather, you can connect it to your choice of both fiat and Bitcoin rails, including your own lighting node if you want. If there's a better option out there, definitely lmk! I'm very excited for when we can start making a bulletproof case for business to start accepting Bitcoin!
