500 sats \ 4 replies \ @fiatbad 7 Nov 2022 \ on: Bitcoin Dinners? - What do you think about this idea? 💡 bitcoin
This is how revolutions happen! I love this idea so much.
It doesn't even have to be a friends & family thing. I can imagine venues doing Bitcoin Night events, where everything is 20% off when paying in Bitcoin, and someone is there to help anyone easily convert fiat to Sats.
Once businesses learn how to use their own node with BTC Pay Server, and the people learn to use Lightning wallets..... it will start to spread and click in their minds.
Another advantage is, people who are onboarded with Lightning FIRST are going to already be inoculated against the FUD in crypto-land about Bitcoin being slow and inefficient.
Now we're talking 🔥🔥
My cousin works with a lot of music festivals here in Miami and I was actually thinking of talking to him to see how we could incorporate something like that in one of the events, have the vendors participate and accept bitcoin and you have people dedicating to exchanging their fiat for sats!
I heard someone talk about a festival type of event they were doing in Colorado where each participant would get a wristband with NFC and sats get loaded on there and people can just tap their wristband and pay for things, I found this pretty freaking cool but I don't know the name of the event.
Also what you say about onboarding people right through Lightning is really the way to go, getting the full FUD of bitcoin not being used for transactions right out the door.
I'd love to have you test our web app which onboards nocoiners right to Lightning via a self-onboarding guides, we still have lots of work to do since the project is only 4 weeks old🐣
If you want follow our account @lightsats send me a DM and I'll send you a tip/gift so you can experience the full onboard flow. If I add the link here someone will snatch it way before you get to see this message.. haha

I'm embarrassed to say.... but I can't figure out how to send a DM on SN. How bout DM's over LN like Sphinx Chat or Cups Messenger? I've been looking for excuses to use those apps on my node for a while.
Nevertheless, I'm over here checking out your lightsats web app and loving it. Good for no coiners to get a start. Is that the original motivation behind its creation?

I haven't used Sphinx yet either, but I've been looking for an excuse to test it out! I just set it up on my node and I sent you a test message. You get it?
