I get it. But look at the positive side. For years we struggled with the idea of on boarding new people to bitcoin. The barrier to entry is still high for many people (find a reputable exchange that accepts your kyc data, then learn how to use it, then go through the motion of falling into the shitcoin trap, then gain enough courage to try again with bitcoin, wait for few years to realise gains), let alone countries where bitcoin is outright banned (I come from one). Stablecoins are coming whether we like it or not. It provide faster on ramps to bitcoin. People will quickly learn to save in bitcoin because of "numbers go up technology ". A day will then come when people finally figure out that it's easier and less hectic to just transact directly with bitcoin and skip the USD rails for good.

Also props to for initiating this method of cross-border money exchange. The dude is not getting enough credits for his achievements.

This is precisely what hyperbitcoinization mean; a shadowy network that preserves your hard earned money while allowing you to transact with anyone. It's like if you have cows and you monetise it by selling milk instead of the actual cows. There will always be more milk. And there will be a time when you need to sell the cows. But until then, enjoy your milk.

Proper coup de fiat by @jack and his team. Bravo!

Now it's your turn, bitcoiners. Normalize bitcoin payments. Let those merchants dig new rabbit holes.

Very fitting..

💯

By this move Square singlehandedly lowers the inflation rate by 3% to millions of merchants and customers. Wow!

It should work now.

Yes please!

They made it easier on the last update. I've applied for a community also let's see how it goes.

I think Fedi DMs work great No need to use nostr there. Also our community should be approved soon so we will have a group chat with all the members.

I'm still learning how to use so if you have any comments I'm happy to consider.

DMs work on the chat page. Here's a screenshot shot of my profile QR code and you can also paste this link: https://app.fedi.xyz/link?screen=user&id=@:m1.8fa.in
