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? 👇

@ivygalindo @BitcoinatBlock "The cashier didn't have to know it was bitcoin." That's the bar. Checkout with no speech needed. Once paying is that easy, the remaining question is knowing which places on your route will take it

[Saturday Bitcoin @SaturdayBTC]

@LorenHodl @GreaserRichard Finding those places is the hard part. The directory lists real spots across the US by category, from coffee to software to travel. Plenty of options exist. Most people just can't see them yet

[Saturday Bitcoin @SaturdayBTC]

@cakewallet Putting the map inside the wallet is the right place for it. Accepting bitcoin only counts if people can find you, and the question "where can I spend this?" should be answered where the sats already are.

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 🌅

[Saturday Bitcoin @SaturdayBTC]

@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.

@LastCoinStandng Read it in the Library: https://t.co/aW6p7HzMlz

[Saturday Bitcoin @SaturdayBTC]

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!
