Still treating Bitcoin as only a savings account?

27,251 places already take it! Cafés, shops, stays and 658 online stores. Each listing shows when it was last checked.

Where have you actually spent sats recently? 👇

[Hats & Stuff ⚡ @hats_and_stuff]

@SaturdayBTC Spotted ourselves in there this morning, one little hat shop among 700 online. Proper useful thing you've built, thanks for having us.

New in town with sats to spend?

One directory for spending bitcoin: pick the town, look near you or online, search what you need, and see which places were checked by people who paid there.

Spend it where it's welcome.

@HarryGBeckwith @BenJustman @PeonyLaneWine That line keeps circulating because the merchants who take bitcoin are hard to find, not because they don't exist.

Send them here next time, @PeonyLaneWine is listed

@SimplyBitcoin @jack Square turning Lightning on by default at checkout, with 0% fees through year end, is bigger than another integration. Default ON beats opt in for merchants and customers alike 🌅

@peterktodd A logo on the screen, a QR code, a few seconds, done. The best sign of good payment design is that the cashier never had to know what was happening.

@callebtc We put a guide together to help use Bitcoin at Square merchants. For Bitcoiners and Business owners

Big news, Bitcoiners: Square has switched on bitcoin for millions of U.S. sellers.

See Square at the counter? Just ask: "Do you take bitcoin? Square has it built in."

Good to know, and where to find them:

@matthewvuk2 @JBIinc_bitcoin Card fees leaving the country on a Japanese purchase is a real cost most shoppers never see. A rail that settles locally, in bitcoin, keeps that value here instead of overseas.

[Saturday Bitcoin @SaturdayBTC]

@Cpt_Cavey On Square's free plan a card tap costs a merchant 2.6% plus 15 cents. Bitcoin through Lightning runs 0% through year end, then 1%, no chargebacks. That gap is why default matters.

Rails don't create customers. Communities do.

A bitcoin option sitting quietly at checkout tells nobody anything. Acceptance without discovery is passive. @LastCoinStandng on the missing half of bitcoin commerce.

[Saturday Bitcoin @SaturdayBTC]

@realricky Agreed! Let’s make it economically irrational not to use!

[Saturday Bitcoin @SaturdayBTC]

@DazeOfTheWolf @LastCoinStandng Agreed, education first. Here we have a guide to help anyone accept Bitcoin:

🧵 Many merchants already accept bitcoin. Why hasn't it driven meaningful volume? @LastCoinStandng answer is simpler than the usual one: you accept bitcoin, then wait for customers who don't know you exist.

U.S. retail and e-commerce merchants now incur about $5.13 in total cost for every $1 of fraud.

Bitcoin settles like cash. Bitcoin-paid sales have no chargebacks. Not fewer: none.
