As a retail-facing small business owner in northeast US who has accepted bitcoin for 1.5 years, we have only received 3 bitcoin (lightning) payments. I wish his theory “the individual (if a bitcoiner) will pay in bitcoin, overwhelmingly in most cases.” Was true but our experience says otherwise. This is in easily over 10,000 transactions total.
Most people that comment say they would never spend their bitcoin. I think price rising is what needs to happen, but I wish we could do more to help accelerate adoption.
I think the fedimint federation idea for small communities with several participating businesses and working with local government to get tax breaks is the way. This could prove Parker’s theory correct. However, I don’t have the technical chops or capital to put it into practice. Just the dream and the local relationships.
Any thoughts on this?
