excellent, thank you
tipici asset mafiosi indipendenti che fanno quello che sanno fare meglio e non all'improvviso si ammalano, questo è proprio il mondo in cui viviamo.
My "friends" wholesale "customers" are scared, they do not want to pay in Bitcoin at this time, this is a reality, they read the news, true or not, as usual for a while this new development will, once again stop my B2B transactions.
Yes I'm all for NOT using fiat of any kind, but that is not realistic right now, at best some, repeat some (a very few) are still moving Tether back and forth on AQUA to quickly transfer to BTC and do some small (under severn hundred dollars USD comparison lightning transactions, but they're scared.
And of course I told them a while back to use wallet of satoshi "it's easy" now it's no longer supported in USA, which "they" immediately feel is a red flag, they view it as not safe.
Merchants as usual we adapt in seconds, but it is frustrating and a waste of time to spend time discussing with them who is next, what will the government do next ?
Yes, I know "nothing will stop Bitcoin", but running and import, export, wholesale business is full time in an extremely competitive World, with fiat around the World taking a beating, which is used to compare for products versus the USD as a step one barometer. Second is in SATS, but seems like no matter who will be the next President, absolutely everyone seems to be against and are trying everything possible to interfere.
Actually I'm a positive, active person, my gut feeling is to just increase my dealings OUTSIDE of the USA. Forget about using Bitcoin in the USA for now.
Some, repeat some Countries will still use Bitcoin in some B2B transactions, I'm not talking about buying a cup of coffee (B2C).
As an example for the next fe days I am buying and selling goods NOT just what is on my main website, but from Merchants in Asia, Eastern and Western Europe, Africa.
Yes some a very, very, very little Lightning, but and this is the sad, frustrating main part........ My B2B customers are afraid of their local governments stop allowing BTC in anyway.
Not smiling right now
From Waikiki (Honolulu) we have been marketing our goods and services towards the Japanese Tourist and related Importers IN Japan BUYING goods Made in Hawaii for so many years, it has slowed about 75%, yes they still visit here but not spending like before.
This morning the Yen is 153 this is serious. If you have a business here (like myself) you don't wait or listen for government(s) intervention, it doesn't work out well.
The best case is let markets be real, let the free market and street prices dictate what the acceptable "value" of fiat, Bitcoin, Produce, Eggs, Milk, Bread, Souvenirs, Humans are capable, let Humans use Bitcoin or whatever they want to pay with.
Eventually people will see that the fiat situation is NOT one currency,
This is why I preach "think and do business Internationally".

Do NOT think as an American business, but humbly welcome trading with other Countries, don't interfere in their politics, focus on thinking as a merchant, eventually you will be able also use Bitcoin in small B2B wholesale transactions of goods and services, shipping etc. Yes B2B buy a cup of coffee or a beer is fun, but B2B is the fast forward to adoption.
"Stack SATS" Yes of course, but when do you use it in commerce Internationally.
