My waiter tonight took his tip in #Bitcoin when I gave him the option. It was a pretty sizable tip. Didn’t even hesitate. Had to download a wallet, didn’t own any, and said I was the first person to ever ask him. This would have never happened with a no coiner 3 years ago. We are gonna win and the winds are shifting.

What wallet did he use? Was it Lightning or on-chain? Did you offer to follow up later if he had questions?

Sorry for asking so many things, I’m just curious how it all went down.

As I always do, I have them download Muun, send to them over the Lightning feature, explain that there is a difference between the on-chain and Lightning option, but I’m not here to explain that tonight, and would encourage you to learn more about Bitcoin, and as you learn more, you’ll understand the difference.

Even when they reject my offer, it’s worth asking just to normalize

Most every one new person I have met won’t take free Bitcoin if you offer it to them. Southeast United States. Then again I wouldn’t talk to me either. No I’ve never offered it as a tip for service.

I always ask my server or bartender, “Would you consider taking your tip in Bitcoin?” You’d be surprised how many people say yes.

I wouldn’t be. You’re asking someone who is paid to be nice to you to indulge your weird ideas and tipping mechanism.

“What can I do to get you into a new Bitcoin today?” also is not a very good sales line #note, even if your product is free. #notestr
