209 sats \ 2 replies \ @rblb 9h \ on: Czech just lost its Bitcoin payment app for restaurants. Fuck MiCA bitcoin
Qerko was a diamond in the rough for paying in Bitcoin at restaurants in the Czech Republic. Merchants using payment processors needed to KYC for a fucking coffee.
Merchants who take the payment on a self custodial wallet are fine.

So, paying through a payment processor is like paying with mastercard, both parties need to be KYC, while paying p2p is like cash and no KYC needed?

If that's the case, it is good for bitcoin. It makes clear what is bitcoin (p2p cash) vs IOU virtual currencies

You want increased use of LN but you cannot be bothered attaching a wallet here on Stacker News?
How is the LN going to grow if it faces such opposition from governments and regulators and such apathy from 'Bitcoiners' like you who cannot be bothered using the LN where you can?
You think using CCs is the same as sending sats?
Its not.
Stacker News has been build at some considerable time and cost and effort to enable BTC sats based V4V P2P social network but you cannot be bothered taking the effort to attach a wallet.
If we want BTC/LN to grow we need to use it where we can and fight to have the right to use it everywhere.
I am not zapping anyone who calls themselves a Bitcoiner but cannot be bothered attaching a LN wallet.
