Basically none. But there are also basically no bitcoiners here in Estonia even though the monetary policy is _not even _in the hands of local politicians (as if that made anything better) and the country suffered some of the highest inflation rates in Europe in 2022... I am constantly surprised and appalled by the apathy, disinterest and timidness of the people around me. Which is one of the main reasons I'm seriously considering seeking a new home somewhere in the Americas, but I digress. All that being said, I do accept BTC for my own goods, of course, and am trying to increase overall merchant adoption in a roundabout way with a gift card business, but it's a low-budget solo venture for now and there hasn't been a lot of interest from either investors nor customers so... I guess we're still, unfortunately, very early? At least from the MoE perspective.

BTW completely agree that unless BTC can be used as a Medium of Exchange, we will always be crippled by trusted third parties, KYC/AML bureaucracy, financial censorship, etc. In other words, Bitcoin can be the better money, but not the freedom money, without the MoE component.

I think https://btcmap.org/ speak for itself

Small businesses I use regularly are open to conversations but I'm a frugal person so there's only my barber, the brewery where I host my meetup, and other places that happen to be owned by bitcoiners

there isnt a vendor im aware of within my metro. My only way to use btc is buying stuff online.

Practically non-existent. There are probably at most a dozen places, only one of which I'm aware of, that accept bitcoin. Getting them prepared for me to pay with bitcoin, as the rare customer that asks to pay that way, is usually pretty unpleasant too.

Guys, the big merchants will never come to you begging to spend your sats. YOU MUST DO HARD WORK in your local community to convince local producers, farmers, ranchers etc to sell you their products for sats.

When I see people saying "there's none of the merchants accepting my sats in my area" I see only lazy people that didn't do any hard work to educate them, just complaining.
