We just arrived.

First stop :
Steak & Shake

I know everyone is doing this, but it felt so good.

Nice. How was it?

reply

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.

reply

So was the 9k well spent?

reply

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.

reply

I know where that is but I won't say because I will not dox you

reply

The address is on the receipt...

reply

Yeah. I know. I wasn't too worried. Just passing through. Thanks, though.

reply

Hopefully next time I am in the US I can give it a try.

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.

reply

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

reply

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.

reply

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

Nice! Something I gotta do too next time I get outta Los Angeles

reply

It is a very modern, high tech place.

reply

Forget about it!

I apologize for the typo

reply

I’m going to Los Angeles at the end of August and we’re stopping there for sure.

reply

I don't think LA has any Steak n Shakes, afaik

reply

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

reply

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

reply

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.

reply

I'm so glad to know that you've taken a vacation 🏕️, we all need to escape the monotony for a while, I hope you continue posting and let me know how you're doing. Enjoy it.😎

reply

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

reply

that's the important thing, enjoy it.

reply

Steak and Shake using try speed? really? wow...

reply

A promise is a promise! These holidays are gonna be full of cholesterol, but hey, full of style too! Have an awesome vacation!

reply

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!

reply

Good job

reply

Next time I'm near one, I'll have to try it. I have plenty of sats loaded up, ready to give me food!

reply

Vacation, or destination assassination? You tell me....

reply

I hope you enjoyed every moment of your vacation!
