STEAKTOSHI
916 sats \ 15 comments \ @jasonb 21 Jun bitcoin
Look like the sat to dollar exchange rate has been pretty stable for the past month. That's neat. But it looks like Steak and Shake has gone from, "Contact us for questions," to "STEAKTOSHI" levels of being down the rabbit hole. Has anyone else noticed this?
Next month, I'm assuming they'll be blasting Eisenhower's military industrial complex speech over the speakers and have quotes by Hayek on the walls.

will be interesting to hear their "onboarding story", why they did it, plans for the future etc. It could be a very good example for more merchants to follow.

Funny you mention… I noticed that “tryspeed” thing this time around better because it was more obviously presented as a website. I check it out and, spoiler alert for anybody that hasn’t, it’s their payment processor and, I’m assuming, custodian. Given that they said they’re saving 50% on fees with the bitcoin payments, if they can those guys and go self sovereign with darthcoin guides, they can also grab that other 49.9%! …so here’s hoping!

Even that they use a custodian, is a good start. Like that they can test their customers response and see if they can make / worth the next step (running their own node.
Later they will find out that is not about saving in fees, but about FUCK THE BANKS.

For sure, and I bet that’s a great company providing a needed services for companies dipping their toes in the water, but yeah, it’s always fun to see folks fall further down the rabbit hole.

I suppose it is risky for them to go overtly political. They can and should accept sats, both to appeal to the BTC crowd as well as practical benefits. But political statements (which quotes by Hayek can be interpreted as) would risk alienation of part of the population as well.
I would also be curious to know, if anyone has the answers
  • roughly what percentage of their revenue comes from BTC transactions
  • whether any specific state has higher/lower BTC transaction volume compared to national average
  • are they holding the BTC as asset? Or doing live conversion via an intermediary?
