all that matters is PoW. stay humble. handmade hats and socks available for Bitcoin. made to order items available for purchase: 100% wool star blankets #starblanket_bykaro wool socks knit to your size #woolsocks_bykaro

for sale ๐Ÿ’œ super chunky blankets! free shipping within the US. details and how to buy for Bitcoin below the photo

these blankets are so cozy! they're quite warm and heavy too which makes them really nice for snuggling up with to relax. Or just drape them on your couch and pet them as you walk by. so soft ๐Ÿฅฐ

Since part of the charm of this blanket is the super chunky yarn, there's no choice by to pull each stitch by hand. Literally a hand โœ‹ made item, haha.

The price of each blanket is 105k sats, approx $90USD. They're about 36" x 48" which is a perfect throw size. Feel free to ask me questions!

If you've never purchased anything on nostr or using Bitcoin before, here's how it goes:

When you pm me that you want to buy a blanket, I will send you the colors of yarn available and a lightning invoice. Once it is paid and you send me your color choices and shipping info, I will buy the yarn and get to work. It usually will take about a week and I'll keep you updated as I go along. You could do a solid one color blanket or choose up to three colors. Once it's done and dropped off at the post office, I will send you the tracking number.

It has been over a year of me selling my handmade items on nostr for Bitcoin. I'm never going back to selling for fiat or using third party sites. It really is incredible that I can connect directly with my customers like this. I hope you guys are excited about this as I am!

you buy wool yarn, I make wool blanket for you. free shipping within US. more info below!

I've been making these star blankets with acrylic yarn since they're gifts for littles so it needs to be super easy care. On top of that acrylic yarn is very affordable which makes it easy to stomach for our household budget.

Now I want to make these in 100% wool and make them available to purchase here on nostr to hopefully help bring in some income for the home. Wool is a wonderful natural fiber and I know many of you prefer it.

I'm hoping someone can help me get the first one made so I can tune some final details. The price will be 149k sats (approx $125) and is a very discounted price. Based on my math so far, future blankets will be around 270k sats (approx $225)

It is an incredible deal for a hand made wool blanket. And I'd be super grateful for your help.

This is the gist of how it'll work. You send me a private message and say you want to buy a blanket. I will send you the yarn colors that are available and a lightning invoice to pay. I've put together some color combos that I think are nice that you can choose from, or we can choose whatever colors you like. Once you pay the invoice, I will place the yarn order and when it arrives (usually a week) I will start working on it and keep you updated as I go. When it's done, I'll ship it to you with tracking information.

I'm not gonna limit myself to making just one in case more than one person wants to take me up on it or one person wants me to make more than one. More data points means more tuning and a better final product.

Thanks for reading this far. I'd really appreciate it if you could boost/repost this note to spread the word and help get the word out. Much love ๐Ÿ’•

afaik there's no android specific merchant client. you can look at shopstr or plebian market.

or you can do it the "old fashioned" ๐Ÿ˜† way like I do.

I feel so blessed that taro falls asleep every night by 8pm. now it's time for crafting!

waiting for yarn to be delivered. I was hoping to be able to get started on a blanket during taro's afternoon nap but this delivery is taking for ev errrrr

I sell blankets and beanies for Bitcoin. My business is wholly on nostr. I don't have a website to keep it as simple as possible. my goal is to emulate one on one in person exchange of value as much as possible (as opposed to opening a shop on main street or booth at a market)

you can go very complicated with accepting Bitcoin or you can do it super simple.

I sell physical product for Bitcoin, specifically handmade blankets and hats. I only get paid in Bitcoin. I do not do sales in any other currency.

I work at a small scale so I don't have the leverage with my vendors to ask them to accept Bitcoin. I pay for my supplies and shipping in USD. When I need USD to buy supplies, I convert using Strike.

At a larger scale, you can consider approaching your vendors with paying invoices in Bitcoin. You can also pay your employees in Bitcoin, either wholly or partially. I know a restaurateur who does this and they say employee loyalty and morale increased.

just like how we don't think about what the price of 1 USD is when we buy groceries. a dollar is a dollar. that dollar is buying us less these days but that's another conversation.

this is why you hear people say 1 Bitcoin is 1 Bitcoin. that's the eventuality. One day a Bitcoin won't be priced based on another currency.

I think we'd be hard pressed to see it happen in our generation or even our children's generation. All the more important to instill a sense of work ethic and self responsibility in our youth because that drives Bitcoin adoption.
