Buy so many more sats

I've tried to convince my wife to open a restaurant/bakery before. She's a really good cook and food is one of our largest current expenses. I figure there's some synergy in being able to order in bulk and write it off as a business expense.

We'd probably go carryout only, since neither of us really wants to deal with people just milling around.

I want any brick and mortar place so i can walk in like I won the place. Extra points if its a bar or club

It would be cool to try and run a small construction business

I always thought it'd be fun to run a board game / card game shop. I'd host events and tournaments and stuff. But I imagine the business is pretty brutal, with people coming in to play, not buying anything, and buying all their stuff online.

Yoga studio and café

Not sure why, just like the idea of having a space and a place where people can come and practice and drink some coffee

That’s a nice idea. In my country, some people sell coffee in their homes.

You could probably start by selling coffee to your friends or customers. Just a small step to keep your dream alive.

I am working on getting my blog off the ground so that people would think of me as a book influencer and travel junkie. Since I’m a civil servant, I obviously cannot moonlight, but getting free books and experiences would be nice

Already doing it: #784376 Why? Because:

I can't say that I really enjoy running it thus far for a variety of reasons, including: starting it and getting some traction has been way more difficult than I thought, I'm not yet able to pay a salary to myself (not to mention being able to hire anyone else), there has been little to no interest both from the customers as well as potential investors, lots of technical and accounting questions popping up at all times which I would rather not deal with, etc. All in all, it's a lot of work and the value it's providing to the ocmmunity thus far seems to be rather negligible.

That being said, I'm happy I've taken this path and I'm still hopeful that it may offer some value to bitcoiners and businesses around the world, and that I will be able to pay my bills and provide for my future family through this business at some point.

Now, I actually have a whole list of possible business ideas I'd be keen to try, some other examples:

Back in California, I thought of opening up a coffee shop in a relatively abandoned shopping center and calling it 'Breakeven' because the goal was for it to mostly function as my office and pay for itself with the coffee stuff.

I'd probably start a business that was either low capital intensity with staffing being the main expense like mobile detailing or something high capital intensity with hardly any staff like a car wash.

Id like to have a fix it / repair shop, specifically electronics of all sorts. Probably wouldnt be a money maker but i like the idea.

I would like to start a small school. I would start by opening for 3-4 year olds and teaching them to read the proper way and promote them grade by grade and taking in new youngsters each year. The objective would be to teach them as nobody is being taught now, in the old style. Teach things like logic, writing and mathematics and then get other teachers to teach those subjects, I cannot teach. I would like to do this to make sure some future adults would be fit to lead and outperform the public miseducation.

Honestly, I’d probably enjoy running a tiny used bookstore with a coffee corner. Somewhere quiet, full of old books, smelling like paper and espresso. Not really for the money — it’s not exactly a gold mine — but for the lifestyle. Slow mornings, interesting conversations with random people, and being surrounded by knowledge all day.

It wouldn’t make me rich, but if it pays the bills and lets me avoid meetings, deadlines, and corporate madness… that sounds like winning to me.

Maybe a parking lot on a remote beach.

I think for me it'd be a BBQ house because I love grilling and smoking meats.

But I'd probably also want a ton of eating and breathing breaks, haha.

Interesting question. :)

I would sell cheesecake out of a window somewhere. Low cost, solid cheesecake for the masses, out the window

Coffeeshop that only accepts lightning. But using the space as an office most of the time, plus having meetups/presos there.

Life and or running coach

A buy and sell store of all kinds of second-hand items, I love buying second-hand items, especially those related to collecting.

My most fun business idea right now is School of Rock. Not like a regular music school where kids just take lessons on various instruments but where they learn to write songs, play together in bands, have practice and recording spaces, do showcases etc.

Hi friend, following your logic, I'd lean toward a specialty tea shop with a cozy tasting area. Have you thought about that? A specialty tea shop is ideal: high profit margins and low inventory risk due to the product's long shelf life. It allows for calm and genuine interactions, not forced ones. It offers you the potential for specialization, appealing to a niche market and differentiating yourself from the competition. Operating costs are manageable. It's a calm and profitable business that fits your profile perfectly.

I would be leaning toward running a smaller gym or a carwash. Light to no interaction. A little less dependent on the whims of customers and more on your individual effort. Mostly just cleaning, stocking, and managing yourself.

coffee shop & stationary store

Dog runner. Youve heard of dog walkers. But some pooches need more. I already run with my Belgian Malinois and she loves it. It would feel like being a sponsored pro athlete haha.

Some SaaS preferably. Or some tiny one person indie game studio.

Have not worked for a boss since 1983. Self employment suits me better. Have done building, importing, farming, house renovation, manufacturing and online retail. You need to understand there will be problems and enjoy solving them. Currently still do some small scale manufacturing and online retail. Have considered doing a coffee green beans and roasted beans business with online sales accepting Bitcoin payment only only as there's currently nobody in New Zealand that I know off offering this. But in the neoliberal FIRE economy that still dominates the crony capitalist western economies (and has done since the 1980s) by far the most profitable of my businesses has been real estate. Have made far more for far less work flipping properties than any other business, and in New Zealand property flipping is essentially/effectively exempt from CGT. So have made more (tax free) profits via real estate than any actual productive work providing goods and services- just shows how wrong our economic and monetary/financial system incentives and rewards are. Do not see the future as so bright however as the fiat system has been leveraged to the max and the price of fiat money/debt cannot logically keep declining as it did from mid 1980s till about 2023.
