coinos.io works great for all of this
Yep, coinos seems great for this!
reply
Am I correct in assuming that I can use them for my use case described in #76141?
But would that be the simplest way?
reply
coinos does look great but I don't see the 'convert automatically to fiat' option
reply
going back to fiat IS NOT AN OPTION.
That is the option only for shitcoin fiat maxis.
We are going forward not backward...
As a merchant I want sats not shitcoin fiat.

Ha ha - nice. I mean, I'm totally with you. If I were a merchant, I'd choose sats.
Every merchant I've ever cold-approached though, is on the shitcoin fiat maxi side of the scale - and they need to dip their toes in the Orange Pill pool before dive bombing the deep end.

Getting any merchant to use Bitcoin/LN is a step forward, regardless if they convert it back to fiat.
Any increase in use of LN effectively increases demand for Bitcoin, even if at one end of the trade it gets converted back to fiat. Increased demand for sats as a medium of exchange on LN is just as good, if not better, than hodling sats as a store of value.
This is why the work that Strike is doing is so important.

Giving customers the ability to pay with sats means you are not subjecting them to the tyranny of the state. That is the reason.

Are you referring to the conversion of bitcoin into fiat and deposited into a bank account, or simply the fiat value of the bitcoin at the time of the transaction but the bitcoin is still held?
reply
Immediate conversion to fiat, with ability to transfer the balance to a bank account.
OpenNode do this for a 1% conversion fee.
Of course I hope the merchant will choose to hold BTC, if not immediately, then eventually..
reply
Immediate conversion to fiat,
The most idiotic thing ever. That means you want a forever slavery of fiat debt.
Why do you bother anymore to use BTC? Just take the shitcoin fiat and be a slave forever.
Damn it, people still don't get it why we are in this... not to get rich or have another paypal, but to FUCK THE BANKS AND GET RID OF ALL FUCKING GOVS!
Bitcoin will change the whole world, not just financially but in all aspects. Don't try to "!integrate" Bitcoin into existing system, change the entire system to adapt to Bitcoin way.

In America at least, starting in 2022 the IRS requires third party payment processors to submit a tax form on their customers. Strike and cash app and stripe included.
But it only works for the IRS with businesses that convert their payments to dirty surveillance fiat. Businesses need to be aware of this especially ones that are accustomed to cash.

IRS is a joke and people still believe in it.

If a business accepts lightning and then subjects itself to IRS surveillance and extortion, who cares because that business is giving its customers the option to avoid all that.
