This will be huge. I canβt tell you how big of a pain point this is for high volume, low ticket item price outfits.

epic π«‘
So starting November 10th I can go to any merchant that uses square and pay with bitcoin? They donβt need to opt in or do anything?
How does this work with farmer market vendors with the tap to pay square terminal hooked up to their phone?
Can open my Zeus wallet and tap?
No they have to set it up. I just tried to setup my business and it said I'm not eligible.


Seemed to good to be true
I guess still makes it easier for them to be able to accept bitcoin on November 10th. Will definitely ask my raw milk guy to get it setup so I can pay him with bitcoin
Yeah.... Ok.


*On November 10th*
Does the post not say today?
It does say today. It also says starting on November 10th it will be available to all Square users. A bit ambiguous for sure, hopefully it will roll out for you soon
Globally Miles?.. or is this a US domestic initiative?
@QW tell Mrs. QW! She'll be stoked!

But this is not the publicly visible feature to pay with lightning, right? Is that still coming?
That's exacyly what it is. I tried it at the Bitcoin conference. You scan the QR code and pay with sats on the lightning network.
Love it
YES!!!
Is there an easy way to find Square merchants near me?

Letβs Gooooooo π«Άπ§‘
so the shop has to enable it first
I am not sure this is right. By default, bitcoin is converted instantly to btc, they need to enable not converting to usd and retaining btc
If this is right, the pay in bitcoin option for the customer can still be on by default
First of all, this is amazing.
Secondly, if a business decides to accept bitcoin with Square and settled in 100% USD, is that considered a taxable event? Would the "gains" be neutral in that situation since it is instant?
Don't want vendors coming back to me after I show them how to accept bitcoin and complain that they are paying a bunch of extra taxes...
Congrats bro! Well done πππ
Awesomeβ¦! π

Let the revolution begin
This can be big for adoption with local merchants!
Don't hesitate to ask if they accept #bitcoin at checkout. You may be the one to plant the seed.

LFG!β‘
This is awesome!
This is not bad start. I donβt mind trying this. Give me a reason to spent some sats thatβs lying around.
Amazing announcement, this will help increase Bitcoin adoption!
Here's a wallpaper based on the Bitcoin logo from the intro everyone!


Square has 25-30% of the worldwide retail market share. This is super impressive. Now letβs go for Toast. It has 22-26% of the share namely in the restaurant space. This is a giant piece of the puzzle too. If Toast fell in line, talk about dominance.
Greatπ«‘
This news is great for adoption of crypto in the retail ecosystem
I love it
Pressure to buy BTC is maintained so price will keep moving up
Thank you for the announcement on Aqstr
Peace
full circle (square). epic job in not only realizing the dream but making it an elite version of the dream (looks beautiful)!
for the first time this decade, iβm bullish for SMBs. stomping on the gas pedal on a long and curvy Economic Empowerment Road! πͺ
Fantastic! Hopefully most merchants enable acceptance sooner than later!
This is the way.
Perfect now @npub1qr4c...cmv6 will be able to be serve #Nostr

With zero privacy?
What is wrong with Bitcoin. They ate always cheering the wrong guys.
We have BTCPayServer and all the millions of Bitcoiners could have helped their brick and mortar stores to setup a running system. Privacy preserving and self-custodial.
Bitcoin community is a huge failure. We've been more advanced in 2013.
