Easy from my perspective, have studied and practiced before in the position to setup a private node (third node) for the family and provide everyone somehow access to it.what tools / apps you used, in the beginning and later
many of them, personally I tried as many as I can, skipping (tried, never used) the most common one like Muun, WoS. A good filter was always, if too many people talk about it, ignore it. I like to focus on niche things. Currently:how you improved your use of bitcoin apps

Biz started in 2009, nice times :) started in 2015 with bitcoin and officially defined as internal standard in 2019. It took time to put everything in place, and we upgraded services and hardware multiple times. Backups saved us multiple times. Multisig, indispensable!what tools / apps you used, in the beginning and later
We are now setup with a simple:how you consider bitcoin in your accounting (cash or "investment")
Our fees are denominated in BTC and all accounting as well. We switch to fiat when needed and to make it easier for the clients. We operate internationally, so used to deal with multiple currency exchange rates at the same time. It feels good to have finally one single reference for all currencies above the dirty $anything you would like to share
BAU, just need to switch the chip in your mind and make it happen. Your accounting strategy will need to change accordingly and depending on which country you reside. You'll need to make hard decisions on how to deal with exchange rates and tax declarations, find a trustable accountant if required, and define the process. It's always good to talk with someone else not related to the business about finance management, especially if related to Bitcoin.PS
Can't believe there're not many business owners around here. Why my response is just the second one after 12h from the post publication? Comm'on guys... share your strategy, I'm curious!
