5 sats \ 1 reply \ @bitgould 3 Aug 2022 \ parent \ on: Hi, from Taiwan... bitcoin
We've had lots of college students who are interested in DLCs or getting their first sats, bar owners who now accept bitcoin, a scooter mechanic who want to accept bitcoin from foreigners, policy folks, fine art collectors, circular economy people, privacy coiners, brilliant automation engineers, exchange people, investors and of course bitcoin developers to name a few. We'd love to invite you whenever you're ready
That’s great to hear.
What’s amazing to me is how prevalent digital payments are here, especially in Taipei (I.e. Apple Pay, Line pay, etc). I’m a NYC native and have lived in Taipei for almost two years. Prior to moving here I used a digital payment at a POS maybe once or twice. Since moving here I use it for 85% of my transactions, the rest are cash since they are super local/old school.
So the desire to embrace the next gen in digital payments is here for sure. Also, no one likes the outdated banking and credit systems here in Taiwan.
I keep looking for a Bitcoin or Lightning logo in shops, have yet to see one. When I do I’m ready.
