Today i had the opportunity to talk with a group of local merchants about digital payment solutions as part of my job as an "IT Guy", i briefly touched the topic of #Bitcoin and was met with a wall of FUD (which lead to my previous post).

Interestingly, now having talked to a few of this local shopowners (small grocery stores and a bakery) some really starting to have an interest in learning more about #Bitcoin especially after hearing about #Lightning . The nice thing they thought is that - in their view - the handling of #Bitcoin is very similar to that of cash, which is a big plus in my little corner of germany. Lets see where these initial steps will take us...

What are you describing regarding #Lightning?

Well, #Lightning seems to be a nice solution especially for fast, small transactions as you would expect in small scale shops like little grocery stores or something like a bakery... handling digital payment nearly the way you would make a cash transaction is - especially for those small businesses - a nice thing.
