Those are very solid numbers
well, don't do it then?
do you understand how ridiculous is to ask someone this right? Its like asking which bank does your payment processor deposits your fiat to, everyone would look at you like you're retarded and politely tell you to fuck off.
if you earn/save in bitcoin then you're spending bitcoin because you need to pay for something. and you'll use the method that makes the most sense, if you need to do 4 different steps, dance around with a naked monkey and put a jellybean up your ass to just pay in bitcoin so you can then complain online that a merchant has converted to fiat then it makes no sense
because bullying merchants into accepting bitcoin has never made sense. if we would've focused on the supply part of the problem, creating ways for people to earn bitcoin instead of spend bitcoin the demand part of the problem would be fixed instantly because the market would pull it out of ppl.
you don't want to go through 5 steps to pay with bitcoin because its complicated for you, but nobody ever considers that it might also be annoying for the merchant? likely all his expenses are in fiat, completely possibly that he operates on razor thin margins and needs the liquidity to operate the business, there are many reasons why it doesn't make sense for a merchant to hold bitcoin. theres also many reasons for why it does. But it is completely at their discretion and should make absolutely no difference to the party who is paying to the bitcoin, otherwise they are not paying for a service/product but larping god knows what
i think its a completely misguided line of thinking.
if bitcoin is money, then why do you care what the counterparty to the transaction does with their money after the transaction was complete? You paid for the service/product, if you're satisfied with the transaction thats the end of it. The food doesn't taste better if the sats end up in your favorite brand of hardware wallet. Its not your money anymore. You're not giving away your children for adoption to a good family, you are paying for a service.
i've been experimenting with using https://jumble.imwald.eu/ with my wot relay (wot.nostr.net) as primary way i interface with nostr on desktop
frequently the cause of similar issues are permanent redirects, tho in this case the output of dev tools in the browser might give some insight into what is happening
also this has about 5% of information actually needed to tshoot things, you haven't even mentioned what are you accessing, which browsers are you using, what kind of network is it, dynamic/static ips, OS you're running on etc
you missed "never enough" option @zuspotirko
Of course, i'm not saying bitcoin doesnt fix some(a lot) of problems but it is primarily a tool for free and productive people to make things better
We skipped the second part of ppl.making shit happen and settled on NGU/ETF celebrations and buying lambos
