A book sold is a book sold. Not everybody uses bitcoin and I don't want to be a gatekeeper. And neither my book nor The Sovereign Individual are strictly Bitcoin books anyway. But I obviously prefer if sales came directly through my site and paid in BTC. I assume Konsensus has the same stance.
I also spoke with an Estonian author not too long ago, who wrote a book about Bitcoin. He and his podcast co-host / biz partner host their own site where they sell it. The book is also sold in 2 of the largest bookstore chains in Estonia. The chain stores had apparently sold about 100 copies in the first 3 months. Through their own site, there was one order (and that one person was me). Mind you, this is not only about fiat vs BTC as a means of payment, but also about who actually profits - the Estonian bookstores take a 50% cut.
TBH one of my biggest disillusionments in the Bitcoin space since I've been "active" here myself is how many complain that businesses don't accept bitcoin.
You go and build the business. You even incentivize the usage of bitcoin for payments. Fuck the banks, amirite?
No. Most will still use fiat rails, even if it costs them more 🤦♂️
