There were two places I lived for a while, I just asked the owner to accept BTC, easier for both.! and done, but I guess really depends on the people.

But one of them preferred USDT before because it was "cheaper and faster", but then we switched to LN, which took quite a while.

I pay my rent in BTC, directly to the owner. Took me some years to convince him but in the end couldn't resist to Darth...
Now he's so happy.... "I told you so" is working. He's stacking.

Out of curiosity, did you structure rent to fixed fiat amount and then the sats that you pay fluctuates or did you structure it based on a fixed sats amount that would hopefully be able to be lowered over time as its purchasing power increases?

reply

for the moment he wanted to stick with fiat value and paid in sats at the current rate.
But we've discussed about making a fix price in sats.

reply

Makes sense. I used a fixed fiat when I was paying rent as well for a couple years. To my FIL, but it was still cool that he took sats.

How do you calculate the value when you switch to sats?

reply

Until bitcoin is the standard, I'm happy just basing my rent payment on a USD value. Let's say rent is $1000/month right now. That is roughly 4 million sats. I would MUCH rather send the equivalent of $1000 in rent rather than a fixed sat amount because if the USD value of BTC doubled, then I would much rather send 2 million sats for rent rather than 4 million.

It will get interesting in the future because currently we are "okay" with or rather used to rent going up a bit each each. In a bitcoin world, you'd almost have to envision a world where your rent goes down in sats each year as the purchasing power of it keeps going up.

For those who travel a lot, using Airbnb for long-term stays etc. you can try to orange-pill the owner too, especially the places you really like and often come back to.

Run to Mexico and start new life :) Its not just movies, its quite normal. Many boomers I met there were fugutuves from US or Canada. You might need to hitch a boat to get there tho :D

Or you can just use fiat payment rails at a lower cost instead of LARPing.
