AI mentions in earnings calls will drop i think.

Bitcoin mentions may increase if it becomes the new thing.

Thank DeepSeek for low key ending the AI frenzy?

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.

Some days I wonder what the average age of a SN user is... Then I realize some of them are probably older than I think in years but not in maturity.

reply

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

Then I realize some of them are probably older than I think in years but not in maturity.

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

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?

reply

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.

reply

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

reply

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%).

reply

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?

are you having a bad day? do you want to see more junks in the saloon or someone actually doing the work and sharing the observation.

oh ok, now start making more sense.

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%).

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

reply

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.
