Bitcoin mentions may increase if it becomes the new thing.

Southport child murderer Axel Rudakubana has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 52 years.

The freak stabbed a little girl 122 times, killing her and two of her little friends. Justice Goose goes on to say that Rudakubana "savagely killed" all three children over 15 minutes.

@k00b, outlaw status should be at least 24 hours, make all posts/comments 100x more expensive, and remove you from the rewards pool. Just a thought.

I guess some are 20+, majority are 30 to 40+, then a few 50 to 60+, many stackers shared their age.

Age really doesn't matter if all one does is follow what's told; experiences are far more important.

Did a little experiment on pricing - so if given the same product and offered two options to pay, BTC and fiat, same price, most people would choose Fiat. Even someone attempted to pay in sats but chose Fiat in the end ( this was the interesting one; I thought paying sats was so much easier as there was no need to give out so much info, but people probably thinking, ugh no discounts, I will pay in useless fiat ).

But then when paying in sats got discounts, people would choose BTC if they knew how.

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @supratic 24 Jan

you are assuming all your customers know about bitcoin and inevitably choose fiat. Assumptions are never good and are made to be broken or validated.

I'm not assuming anything, it's called learning from doing and sharing my experience and happy to learn more.

Very interesting experiment. I think if we want to orange pill people, we need to provide discounts? Like, suppose a restaurant gives a 20% discount to people only who pay in Bitcoin. Will make other people think about it and may start using Bitcoin?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Natalia 24 Jan

yes! BTC only is too early if I'm being honest; offering both and discounts when paid in sats is better, at least for now.

21 sats \ 11 replies \ @Natalia 24 Jan

Did you experience the same as a merchant, or what would you choose when it comes to paying as a customer 👀

111 sats \ 10 replies \ @DarthCoin 24 Jan

There are some circumstances here that should be taken in consideration:

if the customer still have fiat available to spend, will always try to pay first with fiat and save the sats. fiat = weak money that you want to dump as fast as you can
if the customer do not have fiat anymore, will always pay with sats, no matter if there's a discount or not. This is the case when customer also earn in sats.
if the customer still have fiat and sats to spend, will choose the BTC merchant that will offer a good discount for paying in sats.

Conclusion: if you are a merchant and want more bitcoin customers, always offer a discount for BTC payment (it doesn't matter if is 5 or 10 or 20%).

0 sats \ 4 replies \ @supratic 24 Jan

Where are the customers (probably 95% of the population at this stage) that only know about fiat, maybe click "sats" for curiosity, satisfy a willingness to learn more, just to find another boring QR code they try to scan with their phone and does nothing?

agree, that's what I used to do, but then I just changed a bit to see how things work this time:)

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @DarthCoin 24 Jan

As a merchant you have to satisfy all types of clients. Otherwise, slowly you will lose. Another example is that you could add an extra % to the final sum, if the customer choose to pay with fiat rails/VISA/MC, to make them to feel the pain of using fiat.

When they will see that in fiat is even more expensive than BTC (discounted) then will think twice.

ppl does this when paying by card here ( you are paying for the bank fee if paid by card ) some old ppl even accept cash only, it's wild. 🤣🤣🤣 then slowly I get into the habit of using cash.
