So I'm out running around at my old grounds (freakin' 8-12 years ago! We oooold... #1023539), and it's been pretty odd and weird and wonderful to be back (#1023389, #1021163).

...but I'm struck by all these signs all over the hipster part of town.

It's not just the independent stores, or the commie volunteer-coop type establishments, trying to get-one-over against the Big Bad Monopoly grocery stores or the Big Bad Payment Networks, but like everywhere:
These conspiratorial-sounding notes aren't even wrong! They pretty much nail the threat and the description of what's wrong... they're just missing that there's a better money than shitcoin pounds around!
Didn't try to orange-pill any, because... wth? Not my job; not my skillset... but it's fantastic to see how these peeps are one short, minor brain step away from bitcoin.

Maybe we're closer to hyperbitcoinization than I thought?

...or maybe it's all just non-binding virtue-signaling (since everyone pays with cards anyway)? who knows.

If only there were some resources to point them towards. Like maybe somone already published a bunch of articles on the topic...
Too bad we don't know anyone like thst around here. 🤣

Tots. But mine are probably not amenable to that kind of clientele

Maybe not, but I still find humor in it.

Seems like a great opportunity for orange pilling 🍊 💊

One of the problems we have now is that bitcoin has become a bit political. Perhaps many hipster kind of people won't appreciate that it has been embraced by the current political party. Of course bitcoin is apolitical, but this is hard to convince some people. Just give it time, more people will slowly understand. There are many roads to bitcoin, some just take a while.

You would be the perfect candidate, if not you, an anonymous consumer in contact with the retailer or even a bitcoiner who likes to stick orange stickers on signs like these.
