Let me try to shed some light on Businesses, so often when a restaurant owner is orange-pilled to accept LN WITHOUT being a Bitcoiner themselves ...here is what happened:
  • The LN company does the work (infrastructure and all) and trains the staff/manager
  • since the owner is interested in Fiat then there is no education to staff and they wont encourage their customers to pay in LN
  • Bitcoiners themselves arent pushing restaurants to accept sats (simply ask anywhere you go if they accept btc regardless of the response .... its touch points what matters
  • owners have difficulty converting sats to fiat (current LN infrastructure companies are working on solutions so its still early stage).
Note: wherever i go, even in a land of no-coiners I make it a point if they accept btc ... response can be from what is btc, or a laughter or being ridiculed........all is fine and is good :)
