B: I’ll wait until someone decide something
C: I’ll offer to accept sats for the ones that are willing to pay me their part in sats and pay the merchant in fiat
D: I’ll be happy to pay someone in sats for my part if they are willing to pay my part in fiat

I use method C. But if I am alone, first I check where is a btc merchant on btcmap.org. If I have to go to a fiat only merchant, I try first the small ones, willing to listen about bitcoin and give them a flyer with some basic info.
Using pre-coiners friends is the best way. You help them get onboard with some btc and they help you to pay your bills. I do not consider this method as "selling your bitcoins" (as using an exchange). This is more a holding method because the bitcoins remain in circulation and not stuck in an exchange to create speculation. For more bitcoins in real circulation, more stable will be the price. Create that fucking bitcoin circular economy.

Totally agree 👍 thanks. Can I ask which kind of flyer? The BitcoinForLocalBusinesses one?
I’m curious, do you mind sharing a pic of it?

In the last 10 years I onboarded a lot of merchants. After they read that flyer, many are contacting me for more details. But in the last years I slow down this practice. I have other priorities now building my citadel.

Not sure if I will make public the location. But maybe I will put a webcam and/or let people interact with me live. Is more like my private retreat, far from "civilization".
