In this video, I discuss Square rolling out Bitcoin payments to all US Square merchants as an opt-out service.
Next time you buy something at a farmer's market or other vendor that uses Square, ask to pay using Bitcoin, and help to incentivize merchant adoption of Bitcoin.
Even better, if you are a merchant, set up your own on-chain and Lightning payments using Start9, your own Bitcoin Knots plus BIP-110 node, BTCPay Server, and your own Lightning node.
