My wife and I traveled back into the Land Of Steak & Shake. I started taking pictures. She said "you're not going to make another Stacker News post about paying for our meal with bitcoin?"

Damn right I am.

WTH is it with women - they are so happy to spend the money made from whatever you work hard to do, but they complain or put down the method/means all the time. I have the same thing with ecommerce. "Oh, you're not trying to get more crypto/sell more stuff tonight are you?" "Um yeah, you want your salon stuff tomorrow, don't you?"

Pretty cool, but at the same time, pretty sad. This being a singular occurrence in most Bitcoiners' daily lives is a testament to how far we are from full adoption.

Other than p2p payments between Bitcoiner friends and me, the last time I paid out in the open was here: #1291945.

Has Square published numbers about people paying with Bitcoin through their POS?

reply

We have slow but growing sales on our bookstore web site. I'm sure the bear market didn't help. On the plus side, we have two wholesalers with whom we buy inventory with bitcoin. I see that as a good sign.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a shake with Lightning, which is basically the same thing.

Do they stamp all the burgers like that or only if you pay in Bitcoin?

reply

only the "bitcoin burger" that's on the menu. I've yet to have the chance to go.

It is a special burger called the Bitcoin steakburger, I think. You can get one even if you trade in dirty fiat.

Next time I go to a Steak ‘n Shake, I’m bout it

Shoulda bought that kid with the green shirt a bitcoin burger

reply

It might have spooked his inattentive, divorce visitation dad.

you got all that just by looking at them?

reply

I have a vivid imagination. The father did seem completely disinterested in the kid, if he is his father.

Keep posting them. It's easy to forget how exciting this would have sounded just a few years ago.
