Second Bitcoin purchase at my local farmers market! Woohoo!
Funny story actually, someone else saw my “Bitcoin Preferred” sign and had some questions, and this couple overheard as they were walking past. It turned out he didn’t have any Bitcoin in his hot wallet, “…but I have Ethereum in my Coinbase account, I should be able to swap it immediately and pay with Lightning!” Turned out he couldn’t swap it “immediately”, and Coinbase was nothing but trouble. I gave them their coffees and told them they could stop by on their way out once they had it sorted. They did, and were able to pay via Lighting invoice QR code.
I’m hoping their less-than-optimal experience with Eth and Coinbase will lead them to the light of Bitcoin and self custody.
Massive shoutout to
@Coinos for their speedy and frictionless platform. I’ve had zero technical issues any time I’ve used it. It’s my go-to hot wallet and meatspace retail payment receiver. 10/10, do recommend to everyone.
