 Meetups are our best shot at making bitcoin payments ubiquitous.

Businesses will not want to accept bitcoin if it won't bring more customers.

BTCpayServer has come a long way.

We just need education.

 I hear ya, grass roots has gotten us this far. We need it in people's faces as a normal built in feature. 

You know all those places that turn the square screen at you? If it showed bitcoin as first option..

 I know a guy who sideloaded BTCpayServer onto a Toast POS terminal st a couple fast food restaurants, but it's just a website.

A $60 tablet or old smart phone would work.

 I have Zeus on android that is linked to Square. 

I am talking mass appeal. National marketing.

 Jack Mallers tried that, but suits are a tough nut to crack.

Small businesses will also be hard, but I'm optimistic. 

We need better marketing and a bitcoin geek squad willing to help set up infrastructure.
