I was recently in NYC thought about going to pubkey but didn’t have time.
It looks like an awesome place but the crowd I’ll pass on. Definitely need more women.
The lack of BTC payments are odd. I don’t buy this explanation:
Pacchia attributes the infrequent bitcoin transactions to the IRS rules that make each tab paid a taxable transaction.
I think this IRS rule stuff is a cop-out for poor transaction volume in Bitcoin. People do stuff all the time and don’t think twice about the IRS. I think it’s better to just say people don’t want to spend Bitcoin then use this IRS boogeyman.
Maybe next time I am in NYC I will go to pubkey and buy drinks with my Zeus wallet and if tor is down I’ll use my Munity wallet.

Last time I was there I bought my beer and food with walletOfSatoshi no problems. I like the option of being able to use fiat or bitcoin and if you want to use 🌽 you just ask.

I was kicking myself for not bringing enough sats. I recently switched to Graphene and have a larger balance on my other Phoenix wallet.

Why didn’t you just buy some? You can instant buy with strike or many other tools. Or ask someone in the bar to trade.
People have forgotten what promoting bitcoin p2p takes. You have to talk to the other human beings around you and buy, sell, trade, and teach. Ask merchants if they’d take it, help them get set up, etc.
