Liquidate! Don't get sucked into custodial risk. Take the penalty and you'll come out on top in the longer term.

😂 I’d take a poutine delivery 🚚
Ran out (temporarily) of #bitcoin stickers to add as extras in today’s nostr:npub1sweetl0gskmka0n5qevt7v2wj9q56ntwkmaeywffw4ftaucmcakquhns6h orders but my nostr:npub12z5nym0qkxhdrvmyhup2llzp98lryr38gw8ywxktkps9eqdts7asjj9k9c order showed up just in time so I’ll redistribute some of these badasss stickers instead.🤙 #circulareconomy

Makes me so happy scrolling through nostr and stumbling on some of our honey out there in the world on someone's breakfast table!

Don't know why my notifications don't seem to work, but I love stumbling on these posts! 😚
BIG jar of honey is the best way to start the day ☺️

nostr:npub1sweetl0gskmka0n5qevt7v2wj9q56ntwkmaeywffw4ftaucmcakquhns6h My order arrived successfully. That was fast. Already tried it and I must say it is delicious. The picture doesn’t do the size of the jar justice. I think I’ll be good on honey for a while. When I do need more, I know who I’m ordering from. #Bitcoin #Honey 
Nice, enjoy! 🐝 I love the BIG jars 😉
I have to admit digging in with a spoon myself from time to time 😋
It's not a pure varietal honey, but a mix of whatever wildflowers were blooming in our area when the bees made it! This was harvested in late summer and we had a very wet year (lots of blooms), so I think that gave this batch a very distinct flavor compared to the year before which was milder (and also lighter in color).
Look what just arrived from nostr:npub1sweetl0gskmka0n5qevt7v2wj9q56ntwkmaeywffw4ftaucmcakquhns6h 🐝
Our breakfast was pure energy today. ⚡️
It tastes great, honey sweet, with a natural hint of bitterness from the flowers 🌸 we already ate half the small jar 😅
#grownostr and kick start the circular economy. 
Yeah! Glad it arrived. I think this batch has a distinctly 'citrusy' flavor that contrasts nicely with the sweetness. Nothing like honey for breakfast, pure power food 💪
I want to be able to opt out of mail. We get so much crap in the post, 99% of it completely useless.
Surprised that the replies are so divided, #2 seems much more logical to me.
I used to be in favor of asking merchants if they accept bitcoin in order to spread awareness, but that question is too loaded. I don't even want to pay for random stuff with bitcoin because of mempool fees, so why would I even ask?
Now I could ask if they accept lightning, but if they don't understand bitcoin, that's already a bridge foo far.
I could call it "bitcoin lightning" but that opens the semantic door to accepting "bitcoin X" as bitcoin, which includes bitcoin cash 🤮
Operating on lightning is cheap and easy with custodians, but it still requires a basic understanding of bitcoin which these people don't have.
So at this point, at 500+ sat/vb, it might be too late to orange pill random merchants in this way. Accepting bitcoin as a merchant does not make sense from a convenience or cost savings perspective. If a merchant accepts bitcoin, it is only because they understand it from a store of value perspective and they are willing to put up with it's rough edges in order to stack it.
Customers won't use bitcoin until they have to. Lightning demos are often quick and painless but I have had many slow and failing transactions. We've all experienced closed channels, unroutable payments, etc. Everybody chants about KYC-free bitcoin but normal people aren't gonna do that. And the current US tax implications for using bitcoin are extremely inconvenient.
Basically, bitcoin only works as a payment instrument for those who value it more than they value ths inconvenience of using it. And I think we should be realistic and recognized how incredibly inconvenient bitcoin is to understand, obtain, and use compared fo fiat. I feel like a competent bitcoin user, but I've studied it obsessively for 3+ years. This is a compliment to bitcoin's value, which is so immense that it compells us to overcome these hurdles and obstacles. But for anyone who isn't convinced, there is no way in hell they will prefer it to fiat. It just isn't going go happen until their fiat is worthless.
We underestimate how much time and effort we have put into understanding bitcoin. Merchants are by definition busy with 1000 other concerns and do not have the bandwidth to learn about an arcane and confusing payment system that one single customer requested. This is why we should be especially grateful for merchants who do get bitcoin and use it, like nostr:npub1v0tfjv5ahr3c260jtzdk5w48krerrnkg8fmcnc5lpguk0qda04eqzm3m3e
Of course, tools for bitcoin are improving all the time. This will get better. And the network effects of demand will make bitcoin more relevant, even without the eventual collapse of fiat.
But for now I remain convinced that everyone gets bitcoin for the price they deserve, and that includes merchants.
If we want to change this, we just have to keep building better tools.
I'm not saying we shouldn't try to orange pill people. Coming at this from store-of-value versus inflation is probably the strongest argument these days.
Best way to incentivse businesses to accept bitcoin is for users to actually *spend* bitcoin. In my IRL business we have accepted bitcoin in person and via our website for three years now, but have had only a single – yes, ONE person – ever pay us with Bitcoin! And we even charge added card fees to the customer, as well as offer a 10% discount for bitcoin payments... Still people choose the CC 99.9% of the time! So there is in fact very little incentive for businesses to go out of their way to set up bitcoin payments if no one actually uses it.
Find a bitcoin business that offers something you already use/need and support them in their efforts. REWARD those who make the effort and others will (eventually) be incentivized to follow suit.
tldr; SPEND SATS people! 🧡
Yeahhh, got it! ✌️ Will get it on the way tomorrow, thanks!!
