The Bitcoin circular economy isn’t built by convincing more businesses to accept Bitcoin. It’s built by showing great businesses that Bitcoiners are worth building for.

That shift in framing is everything.

For years, the focus has been on adoption. Getting restaurants, retailers, and random shops to take Bitcoin. But that’s a scattershot approach. Most of those businesses don’t understand Bitcoin, and most Bitcoiners don’t really want what they’re selling.

The better question is: how do we prove to high-quality businesses that Bitcoiners are their best customers?

We already have the numbers. Bitcoiners helped move the needle in the 2024 election. We show up for each other. We’re curious, loyal, and values-aligned. When a business makes something durable and thoughtful, and meets us halfway, we notice.

That’s what happened with my wine business.

I don’t try to sell to the wine world anymore. I sell to Bitcoiners. They care. They pay attention. And they’ve become the core of what I do. Today, more than half my sales are in Bitcoin.

So if you're building something real and want to grow, start with us. Accept Bitcoin. Talk to Bitcoiners. Build something worth our sats.

We’ll find you.

I go out of my way to buy from Bitcoiners now. And not because they accept Bitcoin. Interestingly, my biggest reason is usually their obvious passion for their work. Bitcoin tends to change people such that they value true value. You don't see that often in the fiat world anymore.

Absolutely.

I'm not saying don't accept Bitcoin, it's more, that can't be the be all end all

100%. It's a holistic approach that attracts me. I won't buy fiat shit from a fiat brain just because they have a Pay with Coinbase option on their website. There's more to it than that.

Absolutely and I think there are a ton of us who feel that way.

I see Bitcoiners "orange pilling" businesses by selling the snake oil that that will lead to more sales on its own

Very true. I search for flaws everyday in what I'm making. I know that I am demanding the hardest asset in human history for my products, so I want to make sure it is of superior quality.

Bitcoin will bring back quality craftsmanship. 🫔

it's also got to be easier to buy the products with bitcoin. When I bought a few bottles of your wine a year or two ago, I remember paying in bitcoin was a hassle.

I'm not a good test case for that. It is easier to buy things with Bitcoin, but alcohol regulations make it specifically hard for me. I've made it better since then tho

I'll try again.

Lmk. Updating the packs for sale directly via Bitcoin on the site this week

I'll order some this week if I can pay with bitcoin.

You can always pay with Bitcoin

What was our issue last time? Lightning invoices expiring?

If I recall I had to buy a gift card or something with bitcoin and then use that to pay you.

Oh, it's much easier now. You must have bought a long time ago. Point and shoot now

I just went through the process. I don't see a way to select bitcoin. Just credit card and paypal.

Back out to the main page and click in the top right for Bitcoin.

I have specific packs there. Nothing I can do to get Bitcoin on my normal checkout.

If you don't want the pack I have just DM me your order and I'll send a lightning invoice or you can just zap me

I see it. Very good.

The whale is sold out. Will be replacing it this week

Very well said. 🫔

Also by bitcoiners starting their own businesses.

I've noticed more interest from businesses wanting to hold bitcoin than those interested in accepting it for services or goods. At least as a first step.

That's great! Once they hold it, they'll want to get paid in it

Yup!

Wow this is incredible !

Congrats.

You are right.

Bitcoiners should spend (and replace) bitcoin as much as they can too

I'm not here to tell anyone what to do with their money.

All I'm saying is that in spending either Bitcoin or dollars with the express intention of spending it out of Bitcoin business, you can change the world

Building a bitcoin economy takes all of us spending and replacing and sharing our knowledge with others. #bitcoinfixesmusic
