There is a butcher, of all things, who have been for some time accepting bitcoin where I live at the moment. I haven't been there yet, in 6 months, even though I get paid in bitcoin and I have aspirations of carnivore diet. From next month, if I can directly do bitcoin business, better than bitrefill to gift cards, and that's better than shitcoin casino to fiat bank.

I think it's good to acknowledge that even still, bitrefill to gift cards is still helping adoption and to the least extent, the shitcoin casinos and the fiat ponzi franchises... But if you can scan a LN invoice to pay them directly, well. WADDAYADOIN?

And don't forget - bitcoin is 24/7/365. Almost no downtime, except where networks all break down at the same time in an area.
