We’re seeing a lot of excitement around the @Square bitcoin payments announcement. Just to clarify what's actually rolling out and when:
On Monday, 100% of newly onboarded, eligible U.S. sellers were enabled by default (when using payments).
For existing sellers, we’re starting with a smaller (though very sizable) cohort and expanding gradually.
While our recent TOS update gives us flexibility to scale over time, we’re intentionally rolling this out in phases to ensure a smooth experience for our sellers.
As I said earlier in the week, we only have one shot to do this right and we are doing it very intentionally 🫡

@Square This is cool and all, but what happened to auto-enabling Bitcoin payments with merchants? Day 5 and most businesses don’t have it.

$25 in bitcoin for spending $1. Not a typo.
Use @CashApp to pay with bitcoin at a Square seller and get $25 in bitcoin back. Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Open the bitcoin map on Cash App to discover a Square business that accepts BTC
2️⃣ Spend $1+ of BTC (or Cash balance over Lightning) at a participating Square seller
3️⃣ Earn $25 in BTC*

@carlabitcoin In some arrangements, it's okay for the dad to not be expected to change diapers.

@BitcoinatBlock @HodlMcGoo @milessuter @Square @CashApp Very important that you figure this out. An up to date map is critical to the success of this roll out.
Here’s an easy solution: check if the address is already on yelp or Google Maps. If so, and it accepts bitcoin, put it on the Bitcoin map!

@mk21e6 @HodlMcGoo @milessuter @Square @CashApp Some sellers use their home address and don’t want to auto release PII, etc etc
English

@BitcoinatBlock @HodlMcGoo @milessuter @Square @CashApp Why not automatically add them to the map? Why do you require the opt in? Would make the map a lot more useful. Can’t imagine merchants will mind the free advertising.
English

@HodlMcGoo @milessuter @Square @CashApp They need to still opt into the map and we have a bunch lifecycle going out to keep reminding

@tmuxvim I hear he's bringing Palm Beach Pete on stage with him

@JackKrucial I've come to this realization too. I just never talk about it because it's so unpopular.

@_jonasschnelli_ @notgrubles Bill Gates would be proud of Nic. Same investment tactics.

Nic Carter wants you to panic about quantum computing killing Bitcoin.
What he doesn’t lead with: his firm led a $20M round in Project Eleven — a company that only profits if you believe the quantum sky is falling.
QC is worth watching. But the guy selling the cure has every reason to exaggerate the disease.

@raythewarchief I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that this is ultimately funded/encouraged by CIA or Mossad.

@raythewarchief Well, this is Mission Accomplished for Israel.
Iran has been successfully turned into another unstable battleground like Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, etc…

@Vikingobitcoin9 @BitcoinIsaiah I’m in the SF Bay Area and never had a real chance to try this in-store. Maybe in a few days or weeks, once rollout finishes, I’ll finally get to buy coffee with my son at our regular shop using an ANONYMOUS DIGITAL PAYMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111

@mk21e6 @BitcoinIsaiah ....it's been around for years and years now man. No one really cares right now. Price is what makes people care unfortunately.

It’s crazy that everything I dreamed Bitcoin would become is becoming a reality.
I’m able to easily spend it at millions of locations now.
All of this incredible news, yet Bitcoin still can’t find its way out of a brutal bear market 😢

JUST IN: Today, millions of Square merchants "will begin having Bitcoin payments automatically enabled." 👀 Adoption! 🚀
English

With all due respect to Jack and the team at Square, this type of announcement would have gone crazy back in 2021.
It's unfortunate that our industry was slow to ship when we had retail's ear.
The people now want stablecoins as payment.
