 DO MORE.

WE NEED IT. 
 my motto for Friday night too 
 Less is more?

 Give us guidance. On what front ? 
 Stop using fiat. I know it’s hard. But if a merchant is not accepting Bitcoin, walk away. Tell them “ok, I’ll go across the street were they are already accepting it”. 

Fuck these people. Let’s start living on Bitcoin standard. Period. 
 I already to do that

I'm actually a pioneer at that

We are still so early, many stuff I need I can't buy with bitcoin like 

Groceries 
Some restaurants
Electricity bill
Car paymen t
Insurance 
Software's 

etc 

But yes this is the way 100%



 
 I wonder why no Bitcoiner has bought a gas station and sold it for bitcoin yet  
 Yeah me too. I’m trying to onboard every place I go to. But it’s hard some times. But refill is a good alternative, but it does not help onboarding the merchant. 

What’s your strategy for onboarding merchants? What do you tell them? 
 My barber and my personal trainer I told them if you want to do business with me you need to accept Bitcoin. 

They accepted 

I try to encourage businesses that take bitcoin already.

 Are you saying we’re boogie boarding? 
 I think I'm doing the wrong things then... 
 11 push-ups now on 
 On it pop

 1) START A BUSINESS

2) ACCEPT BITCOIN PAYMENTS

3) PAY VENDORS AND EMPLOYEES IN BITCOIN

4) REPEAT

MERCHANTS WILL DRIVE ADOPTION 
 

"Hey boss, I got paid last night and now I lost 50% of my paychek" 
 
 Percentage of Net Profits as BTC in Treasury.

Pay Employees and Vendors in generally accepted currency, yet advocate for them to save in BTC through Educational material and Discussions 
 Replace 4year stock options vesting with 4 year cold storage options vesting. Soft-forced hold instead of the 401k match.

Better employee retention, family happiness, health, better business results.

Education comes along with that. 
 Disagree. People spending sats will drive adoption. Merchants accepting bitcoin doesn’t change anything if no one is willing to spend. 
 DOING MY PART. 🫡 
 doing what I can.....but better access 4 guidance could help. Bitcoiner lists 4 everything/curated 
 It's under control sir. We're solid. 
 Trying but it’s still not enough 🥺 
 End generational poverty in the Congo! 
 What wallets are we moving to?  Lightning.  Mutiny is fine but sus on federation whom I know no one. 
 Onboarding business in Colombia, writing guides in Spanish, orange pilling people with content. 

Working every day for more Bitcoin adoption. 

Onwards 🫡 
 I'm doing ser, I'm doing. it's that the whole thing is a bit much, this sovereignty and all 
 AND THEN DO MORE AGAIN.

 Agreed. Here is what I will do:

1. Set up an LN node, despite getting wrecked twice in the past running one. 
2. Go back to providing liquidity on JM, which I had only run for a short time because of all of its quirks and rough edges. 
3. Pledge 1M sats to any credible and organized effort to revitalize JM. 

Any other suggestions for what a pleb can do are welcome. 
 #nostr seems to be the toolset for those that can't dev goodr than the brilliant minds that have bornt bitcoin a child.  we don't live in a post truth world, the powers at be just prefer we look at the shadows on the wall.

“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”
― Marjane Satrapi

 
 Start by doing SOMETHING.. THEN DO MORE
