 How are you running ltngstore? Is it wordpress with the btcpay plugin and then you feed the data to merch store for fulfillment? It's well done. I'm considering doing something similar for cassettes perhaps.

 I might have succeeded today on that. I started talking to someone today when paying him with cash - he was happy receiving cash those rare times -  and that i took the energy to go atm first before paying him instead of just doing easy digital for reasons that he understood. Mentioned cbdc and we went a bit dystopian and then I added, but there is hope😄 
He said that he, for play, once bought $100 of btc and that he was up 40% and I ended up explaining him inflation and deflation  @Jeff Booth style, and about dca and not your keys not you btc.  
I get this feel he's buying some more when he gets home. Let's hope. He seemed like a nice hard working man and would suck to see this life's input of energy get stolen.
