Maideira is definitely the place where I felt that #Bitcoin was perceived in the most *normal* way.
Without opening BTCMap once, simply wandering around Funchal, I found 5 places that accept bitcoin in just one day:
- 2 bars;
- 1 restaurant;
- 1 winery;
- 1 pharmacy.
I ended up buying sunscreen at the pharmacy, drinking a glass of red wine at the winery and having dinner in the city center, always paying in bitcoin.
The most impressive thing of all? In all three stores, when I asked to pay in bitcoin, everything seemed absolutely normal. No signs of panic, no signs of "damn I forgot how to do that," no signs of "I have to ask my boss." All the merchants took their POS and let me pay.
Bitcoin seemed normal not only to me, but also to normies outside our bubble. Congrats to freemadeira (npub1etg…8n6e) for their amazing job.
This is EXTREMELY bullish.
