I wonder how many stories like this are happening throughout the world?
Quite many, but not all are made public, like you did.
It has been a good week
Yeah I know that feeling, when finally a good old friend is listening your advice about Bitcoin and finally did the important step: going down the rabbit hole. You feel like you did a huge good thing for the entire world and you are in peace with yourself.
my friend will need to convert some of his bitcoin to fiat to keep the lights on,
That is not a problem at all as long his mind is focused on how to reduce that dependency of fiat.
he's already trying to figure out how to operate on a bitcoin standard.
That's damn good ! Very few new merchants think like that. Wonderful use case for Bitcoin.
I knew my limitations in trying to give my friend advice
Please do not keep yourself out. Yes we all have limitations, but teaching others is how we make our own knowledge stronger and more valuable. Because from the questions you and him asked previously it bring up some quite challenging aspects:
  • what exactly is the business financial flow and how can be adapted to bitcoin
  • how they want to use Bitcoin especially after receive it
  • what technical knowledge they have and infrastructure
  • short terms plans and long terms plans
As I said here many times: when you onboard somebody new, especially a business (not a simple individual), first thing you must listen carefully what they want / need and not blindly suggest the first solution that comes into your mind. Not all solutions can be suitable for that use case.
Wonderful story you will have to tell to your grandkids Siggy!

My wife used to work for Holiday Inn. They had standards for measurable success in food service. Especially breakfast. It was easy to give good service when you understand the standards.
The epiphany with money is that there is no standard for any Fiat money. None. So you can easily gravitate toward the Bitcoin standard if you are willing to recognize that you were operating in a bullshit standard.
