First stop : Steak & Shake

I know everyone is doing this, but it felt so good.

Did you tell them to add on that ticket: "Read Darthcoin guides for more information about Bitcoin" ?

It is a very modern, high tech place.

Forget about it!

I apologize for the typo

Nice. How was it?

I really liked the steakburger, but I'm a fast food hound. The beef tallow fries were good. Not oily or greasy at all. My wife enjoyed her vanilla shake. I'm not a shake guy.

So was the 9k well spent?

Definitely. I actually got my daughter a to go order before I left, so I made two lightning transactions. I should point out that I first tried the zeus wallet connected to my node at home, but the transaction was taking too long. I then switched to my Alby go wallet connected to the same node, and it was instant.

I'm going to try zeus again next time.

Hopefully next time I am in the US I can give it a try.

Yeah. I know. I wasn't too worried. Just passing through. Thanks, though.

Well, not everyone. I haven’t had the chance to pay via Lightning yet

Your tale somehow gives me hope that I will be able to do likewise in my country someday!

Have a good vacation. Heal well

How cool. Enjoy your vacation, Siggy.

I haven't had the opportunity to make a purchase with sats directly in a store yet, I'm still looking.

A promise is a promise! These holidays are gonna be full of cholesterol, but hey, full of style too! Have an awesome vacation!

Cool. Now that the Bitcoin Legislation has passed, a lot more stores will accept it soon. No store accepts it in India, but I managed to convince the Royal Enfield motorcycles showroom to take Bitcoin for the purchase of my $4000 bike. Enjoy your vacation!

I'm so glad to know that you've taken a vacation 🏕️, we all need to escape the monotony for a while, I hope you continue posting and let me know how you're doing. Enjoy it.😎

Thanks. It's not 100% a vacation. I have some business loose ends to take care of, but we will relax a little.

36 sats \ 0 replies \ @Msd0457890 18 Jul

that's the important thing, enjoy it.

Next time I'm near one, I'll have to try it. I have plenty of sats loaded up, ready to give me food!

Vacation, or destination assassination? You tell me....

We chatted with the workers about the whole bitcoin thing. They said they have been accepting it for a month, and I'm only the fourth customer who paid with it. They were curious and very nice.

Sad that it's still so niche. I don't know if Austin has a Steak & Shake, but I wonder if they'd get more bitcoin customers

If it's successful – which it seems to be – other companies will soon copy it. It's easier for them since they're only in one country – I imagine.

I’m going to Los Angeles at the end of August and we’re stopping there for sure.

I don't think LA has any Steak n Shakes, afaik

How is Los Angeles at this time of year? Is it a great destination? I want to go, but I'm undecided.
