Don’t forget to tip 20% in bitcoin!

Tips are a result of the WWI fiat economy. On a bitcoin standard tipping will fade back to when a unconventional or exceptional service is required.

这个只有美国有吗

Great day for #Bitcoin

Well done nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wvh8xmmrd9skcqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qddtc35 and Square team

The leader PoS terminal in Switzerland released an option to pay in Bitcoin (and Ethereum) on more than 1M terminals in 2017 already. After 8 years, less than a dozen merchants activated it...

If it's not by default enabled, they will probably never bother to enable it.

My bad, it was in 2021 not 2017. And total PoS that can get it was 85'000, not milllions... Sorry I should have made my rese arch before posting, but the overall argument stays the same, nobody enabled it.

In 2023 they added stableshitcoin USDT. Still never heard of anyone accepting it.

Regarding 2017, maybe I got confuse with 2017 (or late 2016) when we could start buying bitcoins at every train ticket machines in Switzerland, still working today, never heard about anyone using it beside "once for a test". The outragous fees are not helping.

“Can now accept” ≠ “now accept”
