Well of course you have to spread the word. Go out in full. However just don’t offer the same price in Fiat 🫣 maybe then it’s a different story but it’s also a great promotion for Bitcoin, independent of the platform. Hit the guys running this network up promote and share I guess it’s all up to us and like shirts also belts should become a thing not just to support but maybe a subtle sign you are wearing making a statement. #smallsteps #prettyawesome

Oh you mean make them cheaper for nostr 😂 yeah it's something I could do. But this time I decided to make the sale simple by not offering a coupon code to use and instead plainly put a reduction on them. Noted for next time.

You should pay more in Fiat thats what I meant, i am not sure if you are in Canada based but I recall BTC Session having started to setup a market for goods to be exchanged in sats in his hometown maybe reach out to him?

I'm sorry I still don't understand. I should pay more in fiat? Pay what/who? Do you mean I should accept fiat? It's not necessarily a bad idea but I said I would only accept bitcoin when I started and I have a lot of ego 😅

Yes accepting FIAT at a higher price when you advertise outside of Nostr. It all depends on your business model your ability to survive and patience of course, ego seldom help in business and in private either, I had to learn this the hard way I guess but I completely understand your point. A path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you . . .” #CarlosCastaneda

I think I'd rather be more patient. It only take accepting fiat one time to lose this status I currently have of someone who never did. There's this possibility in 20 years where I'll be able to say "I never accepted a single dollar" and I love it. The belts are not supposed to be my main product anyway. I have to go back to selling signing devices cases. This is where I made most of my money so far. There's still a big market I haven't fully conquered over there.

Another option could be to still post it outside NOSTR but allow Lightning payment only. You know @Bitrefill offers the ability to purchase FIAT vouchers through Lightning, maybe they have the option to offer it the other way around to pay in Fiat through their page and get a voucher for one belt, this way you maintain your status. We do need bridges, just saying.
