It’s disheartening to see the state of #Bitcoin commerce solutions. But not surprising at all, given how even Bitcoiners prefer to use credit card payments. No users -> no investment -> no products -> no adoption. If Bitcoin fails, it’s because of us Bitcoiners.

Interesting point on adoption nostr:npub164q45vfa8prpl7f63stsl9qm9n22v6julkasjdqxjc8kevchsj0sp42rl3
Yup, the only ones in our way at this point are us bitcoiners
The uptake is bad in the west because logging capital gains from accepting and then selling Bitcoin to pay for expenses is a pain in the ass, and you don't f*** with the IRS
This has been a recurring point always as I am about to onboard a business into accepting Bitcoin and where I don't have a great solution
Plus staff turnover, etc.
The ground is much riper in more cash based/informal economies (plus online merchants), and that's where you are seeing much better adoption.
Guatemala is on track to have thousands of Bitcoin merchants in the next year, even made a video on it 😄
