My "friends" wholesale "customers" are scared, they do not want to pay in Bitcoin at this time, this is a reality, they read the news, true or not, as usual for a while this new development will, once again stop my B2B transactions.

Yes I'm all for NOT using fiat of any kind, but that is not realistic right now, at best some, repeat some (a very few) are still moving Tether back and forth on AQUA to quickly transfer to BTC and do some small (under severn hundred dollars USD comparison lightning transactions, but they're scared.

And of course I told them a while back to use wallet of satoshi "it's easy" now it's no longer supported in USA, which "they" immediately feel is a red flag, they view it as not safe.

Merchants as usual we adapt in seconds, but it is frustrating and a waste of time to spend time discussing with them who is next, what will the government do next ?

Yes, I know "nothing will stop Bitcoin", but running and import, export, wholesale business is full time in an extremely competitive World, with fiat around the World taking a beating, which is used to compare for products versus the USD as a step one barometer. Second is in SATS, but seems like no matter who will be the next President, absolutely everyone seems to be against and are trying everything possible to interfere.

Actually I'm a positive, active person, my gut feeling is to just increase my dealings OUTSIDE of the USA. Forget about using Bitcoin in the USA for now.

Some, repeat some Countries will still use Bitcoin in some B2B transactions, I'm not talking about buying a cup of coffee (B2C).

As an example for the next fe days I am buying and selling goods NOT just what is on my main website, but from Merchants in Asia, Eastern and Western Europe, Africa.

Yes some a very, very, very little Lightning, but and this is the sad, frustrating main part........ My B2B customers are afraid of their local governments stop allowing BTC in anyway.

Not smiling right now
