Today we made history at #compasscoffee
First Square terminal in the wild accepting #bitcoin .
Thank you Michael and @jack | @Cash App for making this a reality, we can’t wait for public release. 🚀
Also, thanks to all the people on nostr, this transaction was over NWC with @Damus and @Coinos , wild.
Thanks to everyone who ever zapped me, you contributed to this as well! ✌️

I’m thrilled to know my zaps sent you may have contributed to your coffee. ☕️
#coffeechain is winning. 💜⚡️🤙
The thing is square built relationships and they did so with handy, simple hardware. Sure they had much deeper pockets but I think btcpayserver and others need to understand that 'tangibility' matters when it comes to payment processing. POS matters.
Hardware matters. #bitcoin

that’s pretty sick
That’s really cool! Looking forward to being able to pay with Bitcoin in the near future.
great 👍

I hope that square has good channels with Acinq :) I'm going to heat those channels a bit...

Now just hire some #BitTaskers to grow and deliver the coffee , then we close the loop https://bittasker.com/
I was there. The coffee and the breakfast sandwich tasted like freedom 🧡

wow, awesome to see Square being integrated that well 😀 I like coinos they are great
this is huge. big congrats to jack and the whole square team for shipping such a monumental feature in their terminals. now that the infra’s here, the real question is how do we educate small businesses to keep the bitcoin they earn instead of auto-converting to fiat? imagine millions of businesses deciding to hold their sats. that’s when things get really interesting.

This is perf. 👌🏻
It’s how every micro transaction is done in China with Renminbi (RMB) and this is the globally recognized direction of future consumer payments, regardless of which currency we use.

Love to see it!! Congratulations!!
We also made history by having Nostr's first official googly eyes day.
If you imagine yourself as being a tree trunk with googly eyes enough to convince yourself that at your core, you have the very essence of all that is tree trunk with googly eyes and therefore nothing can ever upset you again.
Everything you think you know or have ever been told is a lie.
Bad breakup? Not really an issue for tree trunks with googly eyes.
Car won’t start? Ain’t no thang for a tree trunk with googly eyes.
Coworker say something condescending? Well why is she even talking to a tree trunk with googly eyes in the first place?
Accidentally got a Nickelback song stuck in your head? Tree trunks with googly eyes don’t even have ears.
Tell yourself: I am a tree trunk with googly eyes (as many times as it takes) and you will be free.

Anyone aware of any vendors in NYC that have toggled this on yet? Would live to visit them tomorrow

Wow, in a few years from now, paying that ammount of sats for a cup of coffee is a robbery!
Amazing
Congratulations! I checked my mobile app and could not find a ₿ implementation on Square. I can take #bitcoin because I have CashApp, Strike, #nostr, but it would be awesome to accept it in the Square POS app. Did you download a Square POS update somewhere?

3k bitcoins... Maybe next time... 🤦
The world is changing before our eyes
Yes. Right before our googly eyes.


The future is already here… Most just haven’t realised

Love to see this. More content around real world adoption cases pls
Sounds like this is using lightning, not Bitcoin
Its the way to go!
The more use cases the better
we've come such a long way. I bought a coffee with BTC 10 years ago and they had me wait on the side while the tx cleared. It was still cool dope back then but this is amazing

Atenção atenção o governo brasileiro pretende matar o próprio povo. Eles começaram a desligar a energia de algumas cidades depois eles vão fazer um apagão geral no Brasil todo nos hospitais nas comunicações na a internet. Pessoas inocentes vão morrer!!!!!!!!! Eles querem implementar o drex em 2026 onde você não vai ter escolha vai comprar o que eles querem quando eles querem e aonde eles querem. Se você tentar sair do Brasil eles vão cobrar 70% de todos os seus bens pra que você não possa sair é um projeto que lhes já colocar em vigor.!!!! Eles só estão esperando a política do ano que vem.
⚠️ God has said in the Quran:
🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 )
🔴 [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 )
🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 )
🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 )
🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 )
⚠️ Quran
Congrats! So excited for the public launch! 🚀
Are you a Square merchant turning on bitcoin payments?
We've built a new product to help you drive bitcoin payment adoption. I would love to chat with you and show you more! Shoot me a DM.

Fuck yes LFG!!!
Cool little sticker too! Hope they’ll provide merchants with them.
Are you guys down with the cat and bird shit specialty coffee?
Hell yeah!!!!
That purchase will literally be the costliest mistake of your life. Imagine spending your BTC before sat/dollar parity.
Spend and replace
Wrong. Bitcoin sold can never be replaced. Save. Borrow against if you must. Die. Reset cost basis for heirs. This is how long term capital preserved. Those that don’t understand this don’t have capital for long.
Spending causes cap gains taxes. Never sell or spend your #Bitcoin
If you were going to spend the fiat anyways, spend it in the equivalent amount of sats and send sats instead. If it triggers capital gains taxes, by definition that means you’re in a better spot than if you had held the fiat trash instead. Though it’s an option, you don’t need to introduce leverage here.
Capital is the money you DON’T spend. Simple as that.
You also just created a taxable event assuming you have a cap gain. Your accountant is gonna love this. 🤦♂️
My advice is this. While the vendor still lets you trade valuable real products like coffee for toilet paper 🧻 you keep paying with the toilet paper 🧻
What Bitcoin was ment for 👏🏽🧡👏🏽🧡
Rise and shine 🌞
Woah the guy paid over 3000 bitcoin for a cup of coffee
That's sats to be specific...
It’s a joke to be specific
0.00003197 BTC
aka 3197 sats
