Very inspiring!

I'm very envious to see that. I live in a 5 million people city and I can't barely use my bitcoin to buy anything...

Thanks a lot for bringing this :)

That's somehow the reality for a lot of people. The real question is, what are you doing to change the situation?

I'm not good at that. I ask if they accept bitcoin at places where I buy, but they laugh nervously, like if I asked "Do you sell cocaine?" or something... So what would you do there?

Do you have some bitcoiner friends in the city? If not so, are there any. Presumably (and statistically speaking) you'll find some. Are there some monthly/weekly meetups for bitcoiners in your city? If so, then it's a good start to meetup with other people and maybe start talking about bitcoin to merchants. If there are no meetups, then start one. People are the engine of the bitcoin explansion, so meetup with others and figure this out.

Yeah, we have a meetup, and we have a few places to buy some drinks with sats. But beyond that, I almost cannot pay for anything with them...

Just keep up with the work and keep pushing, people are simply drowning in their day-to-day life and maybe need to be made aware of Bitcoin and its advantages
