I really liked the steakburger, but I'm a fast food hound. The beef tallow fries were good. Not oily or greasy at all. My wife enjoyed her vanilla shake. I'm not a shake guy.

So was the 9k well spent?

Definitely. I actually got my daughter a to go order before I left, so I made two lightning transactions. I should point out that I first tried the zeus wallet connected to my node at home, but the transaction was taking too long. I then switched to my Alby go wallet connected to the same node, and it was instant.
I'm going to try zeus again next time.

Did you tell them to add on that ticket: "Read Darthcoin guides for more information about Bitcoin" ?

Well, not everyone. I haven’t had the chance to pay via Lightning yet
Your tale somehow gives me hope that I will be able to do likewise in my country someday!
Have a good vacation. Heal well

How cool. Enjoy your vacation, Siggy.
I haven't had the opportunity to make a purchase with sats directly in a store yet, I'm still looking.

Thanks. It's not 100% a vacation. I have some business loose ends to take care of, but we will relax a little.

We chatted with the workers about the whole bitcoin thing. They said they have been accepting it for a month, and I'm only the fourth customer who paid with it. They were curious and very nice.

Sad that it's still so niche. I don't know if Austin has a Steak & Shake, but I wonder if they'd get more bitcoin customers

If it's successful – which it seems to be – other companies will soon copy it. It's easier for them since they're only in one country – I imagine.

Cool. Now that the Bitcoin Legislation has passed, a lot more stores will accept it soon. No store accepts it in India, but I managed to convince the Royal Enfield motorcycles showroom to take Bitcoin for the purchase of my $4000 bike. Enjoy your vacation!

How is Los Angeles at this time of year? Is it a great destination? I want to go, but I'm undecided.
