No idea if I'll be able to, but I'll try.

That's beautiful. Imo, a Bitcoin store should seek the best products. There won't be 10000 clients but when they come they'll be high value.

That is if you are a shitcoin.
Sure, right now it's impossible to keep up because Bitcoin is too new. But if we were 200 years in the future and Bitcoin was widely adopted, it's value would be considered stable. Maybe a 2% raise year over year.
I think many people in that case would be capable of taking 2% value year over year and keep their prices stable.
That wouldn't work for commodities, but if we were fully hyperbitcoinzed right now, I think companies like Hermès would keep their prices stable in Bitcoin instead of adjusting their prices for inflation.
But yeah, right now we find ourselves to have to adjust prices. And not just 1 time a year. But that's what we meant. We have to do it manually or else our prices, in fiat, are going up.

We're talking unit of account. If you price in Bitcoin your customers get higher and higher prices.
Well, that's if you look at it from a fiat perspective. In reality it cost the same amount of money. 50k sats.

2024-11-10 20:36:07

I'm thinking a lot about just putting my prices in $ like a normal person.
It wasn't that bad in a bear/crab market but I'm not crazy enough to think I can keep up in a bull market. Maybe next cycle but not this one.
But there's something I find so beautiful in using Bitcoin as unit of account. I'm not doing it because it's practical I'm doing it for the art of it.

About 2 years ago I was living in my car for fun with some bitcoin in my head. But my dumbass started leverage trading (gambling) again and I lost pretty much everything.
So I didn't waste a single second and started to build somethings to get back on my feets. I took the first place I could immediately start to work in. There was no time to waste. It was a divine coincidentally that this place was a very old tannery.
250 sqft, no lock on my door, no private bathroom, no shower, no kitchen.
It was dumb. I know it was. But I didn't care. I didn't care until it had been 1 year. The last 6 month have been rough and now I have to make the decision and move. Move to build back better. In a place with higher vibes and I feel safe and comfortable.
1.5 years ago I was basically homeless as a doordash driver with ZERO experience in leathercraft and since then I built theleathermint.com

I feel completely disconnected from Bitcoin twitter because I am not ecxited by price going up or down. I currently don't care about the politics either (I used to but I'm just not mentally into politics right now).
To be honest, I don't really care about most things going on outside of my work and that is super selfish/narcissistic but it is unfortunately where I'm at.

Would you be in? I kinda just want to get to work.
I probably won't do it tho. Just thinking out loud.

These Q cases I sell aren't the most complex construction, but each of them still contains a non-negligeable amount of work due to the tight 3mm spacing I use between each stitch.
I just ran the numbers and each of them contains about 174 stitch all individually done by hand.

This is what I mean when I say I'm not an artist, or, at least, it is not what I'm truly aiming for.
My interest lies in commercial success. I am not interested to be exposed in art gallery or something of the likes of it.
Jean-Louis Dumas, ex CEO of Hermès said it best:
"We are not an art gallery, we are a store. At the end of the day, we have to sell things."
I now fully understand what he meant.

Definitely, it's mostly about having time and capital to craft in bulk. I had no time in the past months as I was focusing on other stuff and I currently don't have the capital to start a production of 10-20 of them.
But it should be the case later.
I do tho have 1 for sale currently, if you're interested it is currently listed at 500k here on nostr market.

I really do feel like I'm changing the game for Bitcoin stores.
https://image.nostr.build/0b1e38fc34a530c23821c2911606b661f294d64e8c0a77288dda3e0c7415397b.jpg
(It dosen't look like much but their is over 50 units at the store ready to be sold)
For starters, I know I'm the merchant providing him the largest profit margin and I'm not doing so on low value items. I know I can make a difference in his bottom line and I'm proud of it.
Secondly, I offer an infinite amount of variety. Different color combinations, different leather, different model... the limit is out of sight.
Year over year, the store will be offering something different to see, touch and even smell. Leather is a multi sensorial experience and it will bring life into the store.
To conclude, what I offer goes beyond Bitcoin. Not only is it a perfect souvenir for a Bitcoiner in vacation but it is ideal for your dad or brother when looking for that Christmas gift you can't find. This will allow the store to, by proxy, sell to normies and grow their potential sales opportunities.
For all these reasons I believe I can play a key part in the financial success of those stores, allowing them to not only stay solvent but grow while focusing on their personal mission, which is to promote and teach how to reach financial sovereignty through Bitcoin.
The future is bright guys.

Located in the heart of Paris, this beacon of HOPE will radiate Bitcoin greatness and shine away the mediocrity left behind by central banking, the pillar of communism. Not only will it be a place to share knowledge but successful and prosperous commercial venture.
We are COMMITTED to support any physical establishment teaching the ways of financial sovereignty through Bitcoin.
To commemorate both the opening of Le Bitcoin Bazaar and the arrival of BullBitcoin in France, we crafted 3 of our finest signing devices in the colors of the greatest Bitcoin corporation.

*Available EXCLUSIVELY in Paris*
BullBitcoin is more than an exchange. It's an ethos. A mission. A machine. It's a machine, and the machine is on the mission, paving the way forward and leading hyperbitcoinization, building communities, and teaching the ways.
May these wallets bring OUTLANDISH success upon their owners and support them on the mission to make France great again.

Not really. The thing is I want to keep the finish on top. But I'd prefer it intact. Maybe I don't get what you mean but it dosen't seem to make sense (for me not saying you're stupid).
It's definitely a style and I think many people would like it that way and even maybe prefer it that way.
But it's not quite what *I* would like to offer as a product.

I love this buffalo leather. Such an amazing strap for belts. It's dense and sturdy while staying elegant and soft to the touch.
But the colored ones (black isn't as bad) creates this 'damage' on the finish when beveling the edges to make them round.
Can't find the solution. Tried sharpening the edge beveler as much as I can but it dosen't fix it. I don't like the look of it. It dosen't look new. So I'm left with 2 options.
Accept it and sell something that dosen't look new.
Only sell this belt in black.
Problem is this color is quite popular. But I'm leaning towards option 2.

Might be fixable. Metal keeper is definitely salvageable.
