After having a fully working #Lightning setup now - and it DEFINITIVELY works! <3 - I think it's time I move to the next phase of the coin-game.

Learn how to buy something with BTC or sats.

My ultimative project is still to pay for a McDonnalds cheeseburger here in germany with crypto - be it BTC or sats - and I am getting rapidly closer to it.

The reason why I do this? Right now, all my friends think that #Bitcoin is just gambling; trading back and forth, trying to make a profit. Which, to be fair, is something people do. But I want to find out how, and then actually do it, to buy something in real life, with digital money. You could call it my "Project: Crypto-Burger". x)

I heared there are credit cards that can be charged with crypto and then be spent. But, having my own node, I wonder if there is a better way to do so. However, I will keep an emphasis on self-sovereignity; with the idea that if I no longer want anything to do with this, I can just "rm -rf allofit" and be gone. x)

So yeah, thats my future plan. To buy a burger! =)

Also kudos to those who saw my lightning instance's description. (: I do like me a burger once in a while.

hell yeah dude get that burger! let me know how it tastes haha

Instead of McDonald's, (which probably already holds BTC in their portfolio), you might find it better in the long run to flip a local business to accepting BTC.

The local business owner will increase their stability, and might draw in more customers. Not to mention that they're not trying to poison you like McDonald's is. Overall, this will help your local economy and your neighbors.

Really like this concept. Live in South Africa. On the other end of this transaction. Small business owner and would like to understand how to make is easy for a customer to pay in stats? Any thoughts or reading materials would be appreciated.
