#SPEDN SATS in the Karoo

If using Bitcoin for what it was intended seems odd then you need to question where you are getting information that Bitcoin is an investment?

Bitcoin is money that holds its purchasing power and is going through volitile swings as it graduates into being accepted as Money.

This is Bitcoin in an instant settlement transaction in our town. No banks, no selling bitcoin to settle Rands with the merchant. Just Bitcoin as money.

#SPEDN SATS in the Karoo

After a few days at the Annual Exchange conference in Plettenberg bay, Im reminded how important the education we give is to get people beyond the “Bitcoin the Investment” narrative.

The bad quality of our transactional money has a real societal effect. If you default to fiat to spend but save in Bitcoin you are still missing the point.

We love those instant Blink green ticks.

When you swipe a credit card it may feel instant for you but the merchant waits days and pays over 3% in fees.

The blink green tick represents real money being sent AND received!

And you can do this from anywhere in the world. No checking in with your bank and government if it is ok to spend your own money!!

#SPEDN SATs in the Karoo.

Herries bar, pizzeria and pit stop.

Front of house has a Bitcoinize machine but their pitstop just uses a static QR for payments. There are multiple ways for a merchants to accept bitcoin. There are no excuses to getting on board and accepting real hard money!

We also love our Bitcoinize machines that keep being plugged away at the various merchants they were gifted to:

#SPEDN SATs in the Karoo

A regular iPad till point still makes it easy to accept real Bitcoin as payment.

Make sure it is real Bitcoin you receive. Your hard work and hours deserve to be rewarded with real money, not fiction Fiat!

#SPEDN SATs in the Karoo.

When people say Bitcoin has no value, I know they have never used it.

You only have to be forced to be 1000’s of kilometers away from your home country. Working in a little Karoo town to immediately see its value.

We love Pluim Eatery because there is always the first merchant who takes the leap and everybody follows.

This is our town. Karoo horses, Cows, sheep and goats in the street, unique visitors, delicious food and….oh ya we also happen to use the best money ever invented 🔥
