2 sats \ 3 replies \ @mateusdeap OP 12 Mar \ parent \ on: How do you guys use bitcoin to pay for day to day things? bitcoin_beginners
But how would I do that in a supermarket that doesn't accept btc much less lightning? If the merchant already accepts btc, than yeah, sure. But for groceries, for example, both places I go do not take btc as payment, so I have to be able to use some service that does the conversion for me. Or just sell sats and by with fiat...
Convince all merchants around you to accept BTC, help them, teach them.
Took me years to do that, but worth it.
It is your duty to help them if you really want to make things move forward into this direction.
Be the change if you want the world to change.

I mean, sure, I can do that for the small ones, which I will, but there are things I need to buy in stores similar to walmart, target, etc. big chain stores. Those I have very little influence on and not going to them isn’t an option for me yet

Fuck big chains!
The small ones are the most important, for you and for Bitcoin.
Bitcoin adoption start from grass roots, not from the top.
I convinced a small grocery shop to accept my sats and now I buy ANYTHING I need from them, even that they do not usually sell that item in their shop. They are willing to bring me anything I want just because I pay them in sats. And I get also a discount.
