I like the orangepilling at work. I wonder how it is recieved at the tenants side. The splitting of Bitcoin appreaciation surely is a nice incentive but I fear that it might come off as sketchy. I hope not.
I can obviously only speak to my one tenant - and he isn't as far down the rabbit hole as I am - so far though he seems to be on board and he completely understands how it makes more sense for him to pay in Sats vs. FIAT as I would just use his FIAT to buy Sats myself - and this way he has an opportunity to benefit from Bitcoin simply by using it than not.
He is a smart cookie as well - he has spread sheets, tracking his cost basis of the Sats he sends for rent so he can report it on his taxes - he understands it is a little more work on his end filing those as he just went through it this year for last year...
It certainly has him thinking more about Bitcoin as just a couple days ago he sent me another text about wanting me to give him the credit in "cash" (his term) rather than a rent credit - but after I talked him through the implications of that he decided the rent credit was still good for now...though he is very interested in the "return of Sats" idea as well...
I did have one other unit that I think is halfway on board but one half of them is worried about Bitcoin being sketchy or something.... I just haven't had the time to sit down with them and discuss it more in detail and I also figure that as I have more "experience" with the resident that is paying in Sats I will be better able to speak with the other residents about how it works and what they are "leaving on the table" so to speak by not using Bitcoin :)
