Where is this market?
Also, I posted about this a couple of days ago, we learned at our last meetup that if you are a Strike user, you can connect a bank account and pay lightning invoices directly from your fiat account via Strike rails. So you don’t even have to convince people to spend their stack! Of course it’s KYC, but most people don’t care about that. Seems like a good solution for a lot of people

I agree, we’re super early. That’s why I want to talk to others who are trying to run real businesses and figure this out. We can identify the problems so that developers can start building the tools

The service side of my business is that way, so I can relate. To add a layer of complexity, I deal with about 20% international customers who I think I can make a great case to for using bitcoin. They struggle with time zones, bank hours, exchange rates, fraud alerts, etc.
I’m going to have new problems once I start to convince a few of them to pay in bitcoin instead of fiat. This is closer than most people think too. At our last meetup, someone demoed using Strike payment rails to spend fiat out of their bank account to seamlessly send bitcoin to me with a zero balance in their actual strike account. No taxable event there. Strike does this in something like 30 countries already. It’s fully KYC’d but it solves a real problem

POS. I actually do capture the BTC payments at the register as Bitcoin but when that data gets pushed to the bookkeeping backend I deposit it to “Cash on Hand”. I’m using Lightspeed POS and I need to build a middleware to automate the payment workflow between Lightspeed and BTCpay. But I’m not really a developer so I’ve been avoiding that and just added a payment method called bitcoin in the POS, create the sale, and then jump to a browser where the BTCpay server page is and enter the amount. Once it goes through I jump back to Lightspeed and hit bitcoin as the payment method and it prints the receipt. It’s more or less the same as accepting a check, which I also have as a payment method in Lightspeed.

I’ve heard him mention that too, but he never goes too deep. I’m in a different jurisdiction so I don’t know how much of what he’s doing would be relevant anyway, but I’m definitely interested in all discussion on this topic. I believe merchants will ultimately drive adoption, legally or not

I’m so grateful for this thread, thanks to you both for taking the time to articulate these ideas.
I’m in agreement with whichever one of you suggested that BTC payments would be slow to start. I am currently running a BTCpay server and a lightning node. I am just marking BTC payments as cash, effectively buying KYC free sats. I think? I have not had an accountant review any of this. BTC payments so far are a minuscule portion of the business so I’m willing to face the music for any mistakes I make now.
I have an account called “Cash on Hand” and I deposit all cash to that account. If I don’t wind up moving it to a real bank account before the end of the year then the real cash is never actually there anymore, because I spent it, so I settle that balance to another account called Owner’s Pay.
I should also mention that I have two businesses operating under the same umbrella, one is service and the other is retail sales. The service business retails parts that are installed, and is probably about 65:35 service:COGS. The retail outfit is new and is where I’m experimenting with the BTCpay server.
Bigger picture, I’m trying to figure out how to sweep profits into BTC and what kind of ratio of operating capital to keep in fiat to avoid those taxable events of selling or spending the BTC until laws become more sensible. I have levered some BTC a couple of times for operating capital when needed to avoid the taxable events.

Where will they spend their sats if merchants do not accept them?
When merchants demand sats and refuse political currency, the only way a consumer can get the goods and services they want is to pay with sats. The consumer must acquire sats or spend from their stack.
As long as people have political currency and sats they will hodl their sats and spend their political currency before it loses more value.
When Washington was at Valley Forge, the army was starving because they had worthless political currency and local merchants only accepted hard money, in this case, British or Spanish coin.
The coin was mostly Spanish, as Britain tried to keep their coin on their own shores as much as possible, depriving the colonies the ability to build and store wealth.
Merchants will drive adoption.

Your birds are not safe in there. I built one with chicken wire and lost half of the birds in one night. Had to add half inch hardware cloth to the bottom. They liked to huddle together and sleep in the corners and something was able to reach in through the chicken wire to try to get the birds but it couldn’t fit in and they couldn’t fit out so it just tore them to pieces.

There are other ways of using physical media for those but I think that if we see ourselves as consumers of media in a market then our money is a vote and when we vote for streaming we are voting to “own nothing and be happy” but when we vote for the discs we are defunding streaming and if they want our money then they will have to deliver physical media. It’s a low time preference battle for sovereignty, just like Nostr & bitcoin
