As business owners I think we overcomplicate this whole “get paid in Bitcoin” thing.

It’s just not that difficult to take the fiat we earn and convert it to BTC.

Sure straight BTC for product/services is easier…unless you need to pay bills in fiat…

But my point being is: since we are still early, reduce the friction and just continue to stack sats anyway you can.

Worry about being a maxi later.

Or don’t…all or nothing thinking is a major trap! nostr:note154hs8q42r8c73sljpg2rpzylrauz98scq4nn77as30rcyp6j9k7syp38a3

I agree. I spent weeks trying to figure out how to set up Bitcoin payments on Shopify (before there were easy options). Eventually I realized, none of my customers have ever asked to pay in bitcoin and if I take it in and convert it to fiat my accountant and bookkeeper were going to loose their minds.

Our business holds Bitcoin on the balance sheet in deep cold multi-sig. I believe payments come after cap gains tax laws change. Before that the friction is too high for business and for customers.

Exactly. While I have a few clients whom would / could pay in BTC...90% of my clientele are not at the stage (in their head) of spending Bitcoin vs strictly holding it.

Now, I recently had a prospective client as me for a discount, and since I don't typically offer discounts for the sake of discounts (I price based on value), I extended to the person a 21% "discount" if they paid in BTC.

So that I can see and will actually become my new pricing structure. If someone:

A. asks for a discount, or

B. wants to pay in BTC

I'll offer a 21% discount for paying in full in BTC.

P.S. What's your business?
