US prices. I tried to get an espresso today and the going price was $5.45.
US prices for many things are quite high.

I don't think so we will see that soon in US... you guys are soooo deep into fiat mindset and ETFs.
LOL only 1400 merchants in US, even South Africa have more than you. And let's not talk about Europe with over 5400 merchants.
US... NGMI

It gets even better: Thousands more missing from that map in South Africa. Not sure why, but btcmap shows pretty much only Pick 'n Pay but very few others.
MoneyBadger, the same people behind CryptoQR which powered paying at Pick 'n Pay to begin with, have their own map showing a more complete list of merchants.

If every Square terminal accepts bitcoin, though, I think that's millions of new merchants.
I know it's not driven by merchant demand, which would be better, but it will still become much easier to use bitcoin for everyday things.

I still haven't heard whether it will be on by default and up to the customer to choose, or whether merchants will have yo "turn it on" before they can offer it to customers.

I propose the following:
- make it opt-in to switch to ON
- the "OFF" button should not exist 😂😂
There's no going back to fiat button LOL
reply

I've been a little confused by the rollout, but I recall hearing something about how it would be turned on by default and if merchants don't opt in there would just be an automatic conversion to fiat for them.

merchants need to opt-in

Is that the plan long-term?
reply
42 sats \ 0 replies \ @BeeRye 17h
I'm not sure. I was listening to the bitcoin presidio jam podcast and Steve Lee who I think works for Spiral said it would need to be turned on by merchants.
