I wonder why all these merchants waited for a payment processor to add BTC as payment method?
All these 16 years they never read the Bitcoin whitepaper?
I appreciate both Jack & Square for this great launch and also DarthCoin for his continuous shaming of anything that's not self custody (from his sovereign mud house no less).

Why would a business with existing infrastructure for payment systems that have existed for 20+ years continue to use their currently existing payment infrastructure as a settlement method for their vast majority of customers instead of building a brand new infrastructure for a small minority of customers π€?
Love it, or hate it but the square update is probably the best way to make it friendly for businesses to accept Bitcoin.
The "Bitcoiners" you get through that are weak and lazy. They fight more for the system then they fight against it. Tracking. Logging. Taxing.
Soveriegnity is something most people are not interested in. They came here to die without standing their ground.
Choose your allies wisely is all I can say as someone who is aligned probably 95% with you.
With the single exception that I choose Bitcoin and Monero together, partially because I can not stand the fools that have amassed themselves around Bitcoin that never will use it in a private and self-custodial way.
But maybe that's just Darwinism at work.
