Bitcoin Takes Root in Fornelli, Italy!
In a remarkable move towards digital currency adoption, the charming Italian town of Fornelli, home to just 2,000 residents, has embraced Bitcoin like never before! Thanks to the passion of local enthusiast Mattia Pannoni, nearly all merchants in this quaint community are now accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment.
From the supermarket to the bakery, barber, car mechanic, bars, restaurants, B&Bs, and even the flower shop. Twenty merchants in total are on board. Fornelli boasts more Bitcoin-accepting businesses than the bustling city of Naples, which has a population of over 1 million!
While Fornelli may not be a well-known tourist hotspot, it offers a unique glimpse into authentic Italian life, blending tradition with modernity. This small town is setting a big example for others, showcasing how communities can adapt to the digital age.
So, whether you're a local or just passing through, don’t forget to bring your Bitcoin wallet and experience the future of payments in Fornelli!
Don't sleep, waiting for a miracle, start doing your job as a bitcoiner now! Start building a Bitcoin circular economy in YOUR local area !
Don't complain that you can't find a merchants accepting your sats or go with a fucking VISA card to pay them. Learn for yourself first how to use properly Bitcoin, then go and teach them, help them, be part of the change !
STOP being a politicians and Saylor simp! Those do not want you to use Bitcoin and be free... FUCK'EM.
Where there's no merchant accepting Bitcoin, anyone true Bitcoiner can orange-pill some, or become the first merchant to accept Bitcoin in his/her area. No excuses.
Meanwhile in North America...
There's not much
Compared to Europe
You Europeans are lucky
a bit misleading those screenshots. Is about the zoom not focused enough.
But I get your point, is true, in US people love to use VISA and apple pay. And buy MSTR crap...
A single example here among us: the work of opago team https://stacker.news/OPAGO_PAY/posts
Just look how many small merchants are accepting BTC.
I love their dedication to go and talk and convince every single small merchant in town... is a damn hard work.
If we have to wait to convince all the merchants... especially in places like the US where the majority of 'merchants' are large franchises and big companies....
We will be dead we will run out of time.
At least Europe has some real communities that appreciate Bitcoin - Lugano, Prague maybe a few others so there's a smattering in small cities. In the US and Canada people use "the dollar" and they have generally no idea what's going on outside of their state or immediate bubble.
There's no "need" to use anything else, so people don't I guess.
As I said many times here: US will be the last place on this planet that will fully embrace BTC. Why?
cowards. simply cowards, here depicted in a very simple meme.
This is the kind of city I want to visit before I die. Accepting bitcoin is an addition to its charm.
Wrong. Don't go to visit a place just because you can pay with Bitcoin.
Make it happen in your local community.
No, you're the one who didn't understand. Accepting Bitcoin adds to the charm. The reason was what I said at the beginning, visiting a land like this, with beautiful architecture, beautiful landscapes, in Italy and il buon cibo.
