10 sats \ 2 replies \ @03e2637c5f OP 18 Jul 2023 freebie \ parent \ on: Do you actually use bitcoin in your daily live -> Driving mass adoption bitcoin
I think that is really essential for the final goal being free of fiat, showing and experiencing that bitcoin is not only an asset or a possibility to save but also possess all the properties / traits to be an actual currency. And while (dont get me wrong value4value is important) spending sats in nostr / SN is important its not what I meant, I mean e.g. having the ability to buy a coffee or something from local store using lightning
Yeah I don't have a coffee shop that accepts Bitcoin, and even if I did I would need to know that they want the Bitcoin and aren't just going to sell it at the point of sale.

I would pay with Bitcoin even if I knew they were just going to exchange it for fiat.
I don't blame them for preferring fiat. They need to pay their employees, creditors, etc, 99.9% of whom all prefer fiat.
But if you pay with Bitcoin you are telling them there a bitcoin economy exists and there is a demand for paying in bitcoin
