 This vacation season I tried to orange pill the owner of a restaurant and the owner of a street food stall.
The answers, when I asked if I could pay in #Bitcoin were respectively:
1) Not yet...
2) That would be far too much...

Two possibilities, they are better than nothing.

 What I think is cool is everyone irl has at least heard of Bitcoin.

 Yes, you right, the fact that they had already heard about it was surprising.

 I would add a lot of people irl seem to view it similarly to their business having a website in 2012 - 2018.

They sigh and talk about it like it’s something new & confusing they’re going to have to learn about.

 È più facile in terronia, se dici che btc è come il contante digitale capiscono subito.

 Ma diresti il falso.
Bitcoin sotto forma di E-cash è come contante digitale, sennò è paragonabile ad oro digitale.
Intanto sarebbe già bello poter pagare via lightning...

 Sì, sono d'accordo. Ma devono poter immaginare un qualcosa di reale vicino alla loro esperienza quotidiana, quindi pensai al contante digitale.
