I do see but saying the bitcoin company isn’t ran by diehard bitcoiners is ridiculous because they are trying to meet where consumers are today.
If I lived in Germany and needed l meds I would go there but unfortunately I don’t. And I don’t have time to run to all the stories I need to live life and beg them to take bitcoin.
Last month a USA company said they take bitcoin for beef. I used them then IBEX got scared and rugged them. I go to the site this month and poof option to pay in bitcoin gone but I still need my beef!
Bitstein said it best once people realize they need bitcoin they will start demanding goods and services for it. But forcing people to take something that is finite is their problem
Here is how is done. I do not see anybody in these videos paying with a VISA card and saying that they used Bitcoin...
and these are just few examples...

I’m not doubting you can use LN in the real world. But most producers of goods and services still don’t accept it. You can’t get everything in life that you need from this list.
I’m always looking to use bitcoin wherever I can. I even bought a laser eyes sleeve over my Amex card when I give it to vendors that says bitcoin is better. But on masse the world isn’t ready yet and it’s okay. I think we need more time.

I am never said that you have to pay ONLY with bitcoin... I said to avoid to use fiat and visa cards and go and pay directly with bitcoin those merchants that accept it.
If there's no merchant around you, then just pay with your regular fiat, that's it, keep your sats. But do not come to me and say that paying with a visa fiat card is helping bitcoin adoption. THAT IS TOTALLY BULLSHIT.

I wasn’t trying to make that argument. I was trying to showcase supporting bitcoin businesses
