that´s sad. I thought the US have more places accepting #btc and the adoption is way more in forward there, especially in Miami. Where in US do you search for them?

Im in San Francisco. I've only used it at one place and it was on a managers phone at a restaurant.
do you use any app to find the places? I use #BTC Map - app on iOS and see approx 30 spots in SF. That´s very similar to Prague.
The places are outdated or aren't somewhere I would go. Need restaurants and other places.
Yeah, same here. I mean the need and the reality as well.
We will probably need to wait the hype of next halving..
If Square or Clover integrated Lightning, it would automatically be accepted in half the country.
is anything like that in a roadmap?
According to Jack they're trying to figure it out. Imagine it has to do with upfront liquidity.
And there's also the volatility of Bitcoin. Businesses would have to cash out frequently to cover expenses. If Bitcoin drops, it would leave Square liable for the difference.
As far as I know some of the current solutions let merchant choose to keep btc or to directly cash out to fiat.
Cashing out to fiat uses e.g. the largest mainly electronic store in the czech republic, so that it is not interesting for me to buy bitcoin to pay in it and let them just exchange it directly to fiat.
I think to have there the option is the right way, I would support the stores which keep the bitcoin.
