So, my partner dragged me to the Rochester Fringe festival, and while buying some delicious Kettle Corn there, I asked Danielle, the woman at the cashier, whether she accepted Bitcoin.
She said “not yet!” She then proceed to tell a story of how a fellow vendor said during a team huddle that “if we passed a 20 dollar bill, by the time it got around this circle it would still be a 20 dollar bill, but if we used credit card transactions, all we would have left are transaction charges from the banks.”
This is the first time I received a positive response from a merchant in the US! We ended up buying a bag of kettle corn, and paying her with Bitcoin after helping her download Wallet of Satoshi.
So, now I need your help to make this experience stick for the merchant! Her wallet is stonyrandom34@walletofsatoshi.com
Let’s send her some sats so she can feel the power of magic internet money, and how it can be a game changer for small merchants at festivals the world over!
PS: This is their facebook page. If this takes off, I plan to leave them a message tomorrow so they know where all the sats are coming from. I am also including a screenshot of our purchase payment, as well as a photo of the kettle corn we bought!
