After making the decision to go on a Bitcoin standard, I’ve relied a lot on nostr:npub1m7r9aayrqjtt2q0whkyrwlys75s5d828c5uewvqwyfd2kxefkfjqgeny2w & nostr:npub1l49ccxu5kvpccapwq269yjnc9jj5tteunfgkhl774hn2v0sdzq0sqa62g8.
However, today I came across a lovely coffee shop in South Wales that accepts Bitcoin payments. Adoption in the UK is low but it’s great to start seeing small businesses getting onboard. 🏴🇬🇧

It'll be worth a drive across the country for a sip of that sweet bitcoin java!
It’s in the Mumbles, just west of Swansea 😊 one of the best coffees I’ve ever had in fairness!
Can you explain a bit more about how you do this day to day? Supermarket or fuel for instance? Cheers for opening me up to this idea, didn't realise we could in the UK!
I've used Morrisons Fuel Card quite a bit (the only one voucher I found that was valid for fuel in the UK). also have used Asda, Amazon,Tesco's vouchers regularly. all on bitrefill from the UK
Yeh I had no idea either. I was trying out the Strike app after it launched in the UK and within it, it allows you purchase gift cards via Bitrefill. Then I had a eureka moment that I could convert most of my payslips into Bitcoin each month and then when I needed to buy something, pay for gift cards in Bitrefill or Coincards using Lightning. The gift cards are emailed to you and you just use them in-store or online then 😊
And there’s gift cards for basically everything you need in fairness!
We've been in the UK for some time now, we've got gift cards for almost anything you can think of. pay with Bitcoin, get a gift card, use gift card in shops.

Mumbles Coffee takes Bitcoin?! Heading down that way Saturday, that will be a must go place
Yeh I had no idea it did! I was staying in the Mumbles for the past week and spotted the Bitcoin sticker in their doorway so had I to try it out. Always love supporting businesses that accept bitcoin payments!
Cool! Last time I was in Wales Bitcoin wasn’t even invented (2002). Had a good time in Cardiff. Where’s that place?
I’m probably slightly biased because I’m Welsh but I love Cardiff too. This place was called Mumbles Coffee and is in the Mumbles, just west of Swansea. It’s a lovely seaside area in fairness!
nostr:npub1pcaa7rjwhnsxqa5ht6ayhahhknhhwc030smgyvs44xcrzm6xwc6q8zkked is doing incredible work in the UK with merchant adoption as well. Worth following him to see how that's going.
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll give him a follow now!!
