Stay humble when you help merchants stack satsβ¦
When youβre onboarding Square merchants and their workers, be sure to notice how so many of them are every day working to make the world a better place for the customer/community/family they have.
Every Square service or store I buy from, 100% of themβmake the world a better place. Without a doubt.
This would be a better energy to start from instead of the mindset we see from many,
βMuhβfiat work is stupidβmy thing I do in/with Bitcoin is the more meaningful or purposeful or impactful thing that makes the world a better place.β
IMO, that mindset is akin to the age-old government/tech/financial elite smuggery that places oneβs self above the masses of humans and their work.
And not a winning educational or marketing mindset for those whose goods and services we all utilize.
Stay humble and help merchants and service providers stack sats!!!

Signalβs Meredith Whitaker was one of the organizers of the 2018 Google Walkouts. She resigned in 2019.
She saw people-including herself- be retaliated against for speaking up /protesting.
People like her made Signal what it isβoften cited as the best private chat app.
