Looking to expand my horizons!! I would like to start a conversation! I'm extremely curious about the price of gas ,milk bread ,Red Bull ,soap ,electricity bill. Local traditions. I would like to start an exchange of items for Bitcoin. Preferably small items at first. Locally made or historically significant, or things that your culture has that we can't get access to even if that's information. Knowing oddity and specifics is my bread and butter, and learning them tends to be even more fun. This platform is amazing and I've met some really great people here so far would like that to continue. Thank you for all the developers because no way am I that technical 🤣🤣🤣 DarthCoin is amazing with the responses and help. Still trying to figure out relays nodes servers I have five old minors however Powers expensive in Florida. Would like to start a server and get graphing OS Hope everybody has a great day and gets zaped 🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡💱💱💱

And what I could do too is asking for prices and stuff in Greece where I am connected quite well if You're intetested

Hey TomK I know little out side the U.S I'm only 33 some my history knowledge is low. So I looked up things about Greece. The Greek Drachma Pre-Euro coins look super 😎 cool. 1977-1991. I would love to get a few. Now I'm reading about the transition to the euro dollar seems like it was a mess. I saw one statistic that was like 340 to 1. Is there any books that you recommend on the topic. I have kids and they have the best wooden toys ever. Okok what are the prices of Gas, milk, Red Bull, average electric bill. Cologne, toothbrushes, men's hats. Do you have access to The “Mati” or Evil Eye keychain. ? What's a bottle of really good olive oil good for?

Hey, I remember the Drachme... a nice shitcoin, when we made holidays with my parents in the early 80s in Greece. You wouldn't believe it. Heraklion was a shithole, but the people: highest class, style, honor, You can't imagine. I still go there twice a year for some months...

Well, I'll ask for price ranges, OK?

10000-175000sats is my cap. I just winging it with no plain yet. any new fashion you know off there?. Heraklion looks breathtaking. Looked up a flight it 20hr from where Im from. Ticket is 1138🤮🤮. It looks like a dream retirement spot tho.

few years ago, right after the Greece debt drama, they started a marketplace with Bitcoin right? Can't find the link right now, but I remember something like that from 2015-2016...

That must have been before my own btc revolution began. Or maybe I was a little distracted by the mavro daphne (if You know it, You may understand what I mean...)

68 sats \ 1 reply \ @DarthCoin 16 Sep

damn it, I can't find the link right now, I know I save it those days. It was an adhoc website built especially for the affected businesses in Greece by the limitations of using their money from banks.

So some guys started a web marketplace where businesses start to trade in bitcoin, raw materials, products, mainly import-export stuff.

I at least got 2 guys in my cretan village to take the btc train. One accepts LN in his restaurant. Greeks move fast if they need to

Teresa's absolutely amazing, I don't drink but I know people that do a bottle of wine with the proper research would be really cool. I'm currently unable to purchase small items at the moment.

I would like to start an exchange of items for Bitcoin.

So you want to build a some kind of marketplace with Bitcoin, like raw materials? You should look into getting local salvadoran producers to sell their products for bitcoin worldwide (coffee, bananas, iguanas, pupusas, whatever...).

For more they will start selling their local produce for sats, bigger the bitcoin circular economy will became.

I would like to see somebody organizing this kind of marketplace, like an intermediary for worldwide delivery, and contracting local producers. Bitcoiners from around the world will just order products from El Salvador, and they get sats. Everybody is happy.

But for this you may have to go to El Salvador and build that place, talking with local producers, organizing all the export and shit, papers...

But it could became something really big and important someday. A lot of potential there.

This would be the dream, I'm currently a chef and I constantly think about how to exchange food and labor for BTC. I talked to some of the employees and I also talked to my coworkers about this. Education seems to be the biggest drawback in the sense of I don't really have a five sentence paragraph that I can tell them to make it click in their head due to proof of work. Is there any dried good food stuff you think I should start with since I'm unable to travel there. Is there anybody that's currently building this system there that I can get in contact with? Then once again your work's amazing thank you for all the support and help when siphoning through all this information.

I very much support any efforts in humans being able to trade goods. I will be glad to post any items on our site and bulletins we send out. Some suggestions from selling, marketing online on various domains since 1998.

Try and reach merchants with an "open arms approach" what I mean by this, in the past I have tried to immediately "push" people to only use Bitcoin at the beginning of conversations in person and online.

Today I have a tiny amount of B2B customers and suppliers around the World that use BTC, USDT, Liquid. Many, many, repeat many cannot afford large B2B transactions and want to do multiple payments or a combination of payment types. I HAVE LEARNED TO BE OPENED MINDED, I was introduced to Bitcoin from a few years of Sh*t coins.

I can provide some possible purchases into the USA from other Countries, but I'm in Honolulu, Hawaii and past experiences it's easier if whoever is offering any food stuffs, general merchandise, homemade goods, at some point they will need basic info to keep the attention and interest of a commercial buyer.

Looking forward to reviewing and possibly purchasing items that are logical for re-selling to my dealers.

Feel free to contact me Rich www.globalmerchant.io

What a great website, clean efficient and not to overpopulated with items. Me and my wife love the dresses. I think we're going to get one dress and see how the quality is and then maybe order one of your larger packages of them. Would like to get a hat too. An open arm approach is exactly where I'm at right now I'm trying to work with one local soap company in my city to accept Bitcoin and exchange for bars of soap. I own a very small detail company and I always offer to accept Bitcoin as payment although I've had no takers yet mainly because of the age of my clients. However as we progress I hope this changes. I'm pretty new to this line of thought I've only been on this journey for about 2 years but I appreciate all the people such as yourself that allow information to flow. The spice must flow. I look forward to more conversations about this. Should I order directly from your website?
