200 sats \ 1 reply \ @Catcher 28 Jul \ on: Can you live on Bitcoin? I’m heading to Lugano to find out 🇨🇭 bitcoin
Spent two days there – you can do it, but it’s bloody expensive.
(Not sure where you're coming from, but I definitely wasn’t mentally prepared for how much money I ended up spending. Avoid restaurants if you can =))
General impression:
Many merchants don’t really understand the difference between Bitcoin and crypto. The payment terminals seem to offer lots of coins to choose from and merchants do not really care how you pay. You will probably need to help them choose a right coin;)
Payments:
I ended up transferring funds from my node to Wallet of Satoshi to avoid the frustration of long waits. Using Zeus via Tailscale was just too unreliable.
Places:
BTC Map was a super helpful tool. That said, most of the restaurants I visited were expensive. The only cheap spot I found was an ice cream pop-up by the lake. I think McDonald's also accepts Bitcoin, but I didn’t go inside to confirm.
Lido di Lugano is a really nice place. The bar inside accepts Bitcoin, but I believe you still have to pay the entrance fee by card. Maybe they take Bitcoin now too—worth a try 😉
Good luck! 😉
Well, if you are sending the rigs to DC, you are still relying on others, but I get your point. I'm playing with the idea of low cost miner from 2023 that can get you KYC free sats at blockware solutions, something like 200k sats for miner that brings you 160k sats a month for 160USD hosting costs. Seems like same like DCA, but KYC free and if the price appreciates faster than hashrate you can still benefit. Maybe I try it and post about my experience here
Have you considered or had any experience with https://www.sazmining.com or blockware solutions?
Wrong territory, should be ~lol

Bookmarked to read later, some parts in the beginning echoing with recent post about people getting brain damage by using ai. We do become algorithms
Note, that the website crushes if you open it on iPhone (Safari) and scroll till the end. Or is it just me?
I think all currencies had a time when 1 was something meaningful:) just sometimes you don’t remember it and have to ask grand parents;)
