Be intolerant w/ your fam & frens.

We don'thave much control over whether our local restaurant accepts $BTC. But, we can demand bitcoin payment from our fam and frens, when money is going back and forth as it often is...
Take the bitcoin-only fam/frens pledge with me!
I always send them a little extra so it's enjoyable to them.
I've made a promise to myself that I don't transact in fiat (Venmo? Seriously!?) with people who I know would be willing to pay in bitcoin.
Stay intolerant my frens! Take the bitcoin-only pledge. Do better. :)

"Mom I'll take my allowance in Bitcoin or in nothing." "I'll give you nothing then." "😞"
(P.S. sacrificing your allowance for adoption is worth it — allowances are for chumps anyway!)

Great idea! I almost got my brother in-law to pay me with strike but he made several weak attempts and said something about his bank not allowing it because of some kind of fraud prevention setting he wasn't willing to change. Maybe I can get these fiatards to use cashapp next time.

They key is to not get angry/frustrated if they are not seeing the light. Just keep on adding bitcoin into random conversations here and there and slowly, but surely there will be more discussions about it. You will see. I try to pay my kids in Bitcoin whenever I have chance, but of course, they can't really spend it on stuff they want, so that is a bit challenging. For now, they are happy knowing, they got 100s and 1000s of something :). Rather than 1 cent.
