I tipped my bartender last night 30K sats. It felt good. The best part? The brewery owner's wife asked me if we could have a Bitcoin night. Just a one time event to teach all of the bartenders about Bitcoin and see if others want to start accepting tips in Bitcoin too. 👀

I'll need your help on this nostr:npub15u3cqhx6vuj3rywg0ph5mfv009lxja6cyvqn2jagaydukq6zmjwqex05rq 🔥🔥🔥
I’m in! 🫡🧡
🤙
That’s a big HELL YEAH!
You should invite some bitcoin buddies, make a little meet up there?
Absolutely. I'm betting I could get nostr:npub1nsz4k3sf040lzr8vj5sq36mw3s6lrzd3u44wezrjk74ytu5ctzeq9ql607 and nostr:npub15u3cqhx6vuj3rywg0ph5mfv009lxja6cyvqn2jagaydukq6zmjwqex05rq to come. We don't have any other local Bitcoiners here 😭
Onboard them with nostr too. I feel nostr is as important as Bitcoin in freedom technology.
We'll see. Maybe that will be a second event.
Congrats on the orange pilling 🧡👏👏
Go for it, and it's actually what bitcoin embassy bar do here in Mexico https://btcmap.org/merchant/node:7949460179 special events to teach people about it.
Perfect 🔥
Excellent work ser! 😄🙌🧡
And exciting hearing they want to learn! Feel free to recommend my book when you next see them, available for free as you know at https://thesimplestbitcoinbook.net 🧡
I will.
👏👏👏
The population of "tipped employees" really need this to take back control of their money.

This is the way
Crushing it!

Awesome
“…but wait, there's more…have you heard of Zaps?” Purple pill prescription next 😂
That will be for the next meeting 🤣
What's your approach Derek? Do you simply ask if they'd like the tip in #Bitcoin? If so, and they say yes, what is your follow up? Is it to download Wallet of Satoshi?
I'd love to know if you don't mind sharing.
i wish this weren't the case, but the go to here is WoS because of LNURL / LN Address support. i don't want to have to ask them to give me an invoice for a specific amount. that's time consuming and a hassle. it needs to be as easy as cash for them.
i view this as step one in a two step process. eventually i'll teach them about self custody and using a different wallet such as Phoenix or Mutiny, a wallet that they fully control.
after i get them to install a wallet, i tip them more than i normally would. i tell them that ill also post their wallet online and get them random tips from strangers all around the world. and then i tell them that every time i come back ill always tip them in bitcoin.
Thanks for the response Derek. I'm going to leverage this moving forward.
Bullish on tax fraud 🚀
(Half joking. The state probably doesn’t deserve a cut of tips anyways)
Such a beautiful thing 😍 #Plebchain #Bitcoin #Grownostr
Capital gains taxes need to paid on every one of those bartender tips.
We underestimate the importance of getting tax law changed so that either bitcoin is recognized as a currency (instead of property) or that small transactions like tipping become exempt from capital gains taxes.
Enjoy staying a slave.
Cuck
are you technically correct? yes. do employees that get tips report and count every single part of their tips in their taxes? that's not up to me to care or worry about.
as for tax laws getting updated, again, yes, you are correct. we need them to be updated for bitcoin into a much more favorable manner.
Cool! Look forward on how the experience was
🔥
🧡
Que bien esa adopción me encantó Derek, la voy a implementar al menos cuando me junte con mis amigos
Wow nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 I love it 🤩
That's awesome Derek.
I spoke with a mathematician today and mentioned #decentralised #socials & #finance (honestly that's about my my total understanding of all this ) She was not interested in the slightest...
Next the #temp #domestic #worker, now she was all over it .. ohhh she said "everything starts small " you must have some very clever friends. "I kinda do" said I & you know what she said ? " #Knowledgeispower sounds like this will go far and rubbed her fingers #together in that #cash sign thing #goodnight " & carried on #tidyingup
#Sheila from #Kenya you're amazing ty.
