As a merchant, I have come to the realization that the HODL narrative has been pushed so hard that very few use it as a medium of exchange. Ppl only understand it as a Store of value.
NGU is a double edged sword when it comes to universal adoption. We can't achieve a tru Bitcoin Standard until ppl come to the realization that #bitcoin is money, and that you should use it as such.
Just my 2 Sats.
personally I use it as a store of value that gets me out of shitty financial situations when I need the money fast. A highly liquid savings is nice. And I need to work on using it in my day to day. commerce needs to change. But you're right - majority of people understand HODLR as the monkey hoarding shiny rocks
Yes. I use HODLING as my savings acct. But when I need something, I use Sats to purchase it, if I can. 🫡💪🚀

really good point
I'm a hodler, but I routinely use nostr:npub1cashappn03s3cl2ljsdntv0v28e2um5lgx4vjctqjt23pcwzjhsqmtdg5l or nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 to quickly buy spot Bitcoin, and then either spend it as lightning immediately directly from that app, or I then load up other little digital-leather lightning or liquid or ecash daily spending wallets like nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg or cashu.me or aqua or similar fast and cheap and free as in freedom and private "carry around with me" "not a big deal if I lose it or get rugged" wallets.

It's all part of the process. Widely used MOE will come much further down the line. This is what I believe and it just makes the most sense. But I admire all the people who are on the frontier and using it as MOE way earlier than when it becomes easy and seamless.
I understand and agree 💯 That's why I along with many others are building now. You have to create the future you want. 🫡🫂💪
I commend you! I plan to begin spending Btc and get involved in MOE adoption.
That's fantastic. Let's get this party started. There are quite a few vendors on nostr:nprofile1qqs2xugc5jyguqkj36rk0syv4tmnkjdtmtperttl7x9rqjy3ustdcvcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qg6waehxw309aek2mnyd96zumn0wdnxcctjv5hxxmmd9uxa0uz8 including special deals on my soap for ppl on Nostr. Hint, hint. 😁🚀💪
Nice. What are your favorite wallets to use. Do you use ecash at all or just L2 lightning? Wondering how much ecash is even accepted yet I haven't played around with it yet.
Yes, nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qrxnfk #cashu on nostr:nprofile1qqs2xugc5jyguqkj36rk0syv4tmnkjdtmtperttl7x9rqjy3ustdcvcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qg6waehxw309aek2mnyd96zumn0wdnxcctjv5hxxmmd9uxa0uz8 for my listings on there, but you can use ⚡ And then the conduit nostr:nprofile1qqsv8fus0eeygg3k4mzlv9y5j9x5jka6pzvyfgkcyrug38hmutnfd5spzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0kq8wgf along with @alby for website. Just takes a little bit, but not too difficult to figure out. Also, coinos.io is excellent wallet for Nostr.
Ohhh cool that's awesome. What do you mean with the zaprite part? I know what zaprite is but what exactly are you referring to there? Are you saying for if I wanted to sell anything myself?
If you have a website where you are selling things. nostr:nprofile1qqsv8fus0eeygg3k4mzlv9y5j9x5jka6pzvyfgkcyrug38hmutnfd5spzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0kq8wgf offers a payment processor where you can accept fiat or Bitcoin. Either on chain or lightning. Simplifies the process, and keeps track for you.

As a merchant, what are your top issues with current electronic payment options? Which payment processor(s) / services are you currently using? Which have you tried in the past? Are you set up now to accept crypto?
