Our thesis is pretty simple: we can only make the case that bitcoin is money if people can spend it. Unfortunately, for most of bitcoin’s existence, there just haven’t been many places to spend it.
This is why we’re spearheading a peer-to-peer community exclusively for merchants, one that is bitcoin service-agnostic, to promote the idea of bitcoin as everyday money: https://www.bitcoinmerchantcommunity.org/
The Bitcoin Merchant Community aims to help merchants understand how bitcoin lets them keep more from every sale, and empower bitcoiners to explain it in an approachable and relatable way.
The community includes resources, conversation guides, and leave-behind materials anyone can use to spark local adoption—plus a Facebook group where merchants can connect, share experiences, and ask questions.
