Bitcoin settlement is this quick:
……Lightning address (typed in or scanned as a QR)……Swipe….tick.
Available instantly on the other side to be spent.
Once you start this process there is no going back.
A friend asks me to pay them into a bank account on a Sunday the other day and I literally felt absolute dread.
…….Go into online banking, put in details, double check everything, press pay. She only received the money on Tuesday. 🙄
Paid in Bitcoin is basically an email address eg: bitcoinkaroo@blink.sv plus amount…swipe….tick.
Instant settlement.
Bitcoin doesn’t take weekends.

#SPEDN SATS in the Karoo
It is so easy to just think Bitcoin is another intermediated product. Why not? That is all you have likely had as a form of money and savings your whole lives. A few of you may remember a gold standard but I doubt anyone reading this has ever truly felt the feeling of dintermediated money the way we did back when we exchanged gold coins.
Dont be fooled by exchanges, regulators, banks , governments and investment houses. Bitcoin is money without them - period.
Welcome to Bitcoin.

#SPEDN SATS in the Karoo
If using Bitcoin for what it was intended seems odd then you need to question where you are getting information that Bitcoin is an investment?
Bitcoin is money that holds its purchasing power and is going through volitile swings as it graduates into being accepted as Money.
This is Bitcoin in an instant settlement transaction in our town. No banks, no selling bitcoin to settle Rands with the merchant. Just Bitcoin as money.

#SPEDN SATS in the Karoo
After a few days at the Annual Exchange conference in Plettenberg bay, Im reminded how important the education we give is to get people beyond the “Bitcoin the Investment” narrative.
The bad quality of our transactional money has a real societal effect. If you default to fiat to spend but save in Bitcoin you are still missing the point.

We love those instant Blink green ticks.
When you swipe a credit card it may feel instant for you but the merchant waits days and pays over 3% in fees.
The blink green tick represents real money being sent AND received!
And you can do this from anywhere in the world. No checking in with your bank and government if it is ok to spend your own money!!

Herries bar, pizzeria and pit stop.
Front of house has a Bitcoinize machine but their pitstop just uses a static QR for payments. There are multiple ways for a merchants to accept bitcoin. There are no excuses to getting on board and accepting real hard money!

A regular iPad till point still makes it easy to accept real Bitcoin as payment.
Make sure it is real Bitcoin you receive. Your hard work and hours deserve to be rewarded with real money, not fiction Fiat!

When people say Bitcoin has no value, I know they have never used it.
You only have to be forced to be 1000’s of kilometers away from your home country. Working in a little Karoo town to immediately see its value.
