For what it’s worth- we just don’t drink much, or I’m sure I’d be a customer. I will definitely order as gifts in the future, as I definitely seek out businesses like yours to support. I have a ton of respect for you and other merchants moving the ball down the field for all of us.

While I don’t have a business myself, I do help coordinate farm products (dairy, eggs, etc) from a rural farmer to our suburban area. He drops off orders weekly at my house, and I distribute and collect money. Of the customers we have, nearly all ask to pay me with Venmo, and just a couple use cash- and I pay the farmer in cash. Nobody (yet) will use BTC. I try to encourage it, but no takers yet. We are, as they say, still so early. My one success with BT. was with our massage therapist, who I offered to tip in cash, or tip 1.5x in BTC. She’s the only one who was interested by that offer enough to accept it. And she got some sub-$30k sats for it!

The way you tipped your massage therapist is the way to go. If you really want people to get on BTC you gotta eat a bit of money in this scenario.

Sell things for a REAL discount that people will feel. Eat the loss, but build your network

Totally agree. I wasn’t as confident of BTCs future a few years ago when I was tipping her, say, $30 in BTC vs $20 cash, and for all I know she might have quickly moved it back to USD after she got it. I should ask her…

I also picked up some sats cards from coinkite to load up for this upcoming graduation season. The new high school/college graduates might be more interested than my average gen X friend.

Well done. Getting people to get off zero is big for their future interest/adoption.
