I was fifth bitcoiner that visited this coffee place today, but first one to pay with bitcoin.

We have more bitcoin merchants than Bitcoiners willing to spend. We don’t need more merchant adoption, but spenders adoption

I have visited nostr:npub1m3tu3l6y59g2tmackq23v5vgn59u7hu66gxg8xajghz59tqm6xnqk2m888 twice looking forward to spend some sats. What stopped me what simply Opsec. All of the Bitcoin merchants simply didn’t proactively offer to settle in bitcoin or have a “tap-on” screen option to switch to bitcoin.

Brazil is already a country where you need to be “street-wise” and I don’t want to be the gringo asking out loud “can I pay in bitcoin?”.

I get this, especially in certain countries. I feel the same way about bitcoin meet ups. I would like to go meet other bitcoiners but I also feel like it's a bad idea to out yourself because you don't know who these people are. Some may call that paranoid, but to me it's just being cautious and responsible. Maybe one day.
