Taking a break from the 'home office' today to bring two of my kids into the city centre for lunch. It’s great to be out, but the "real world" adoption gap remains a reality—no direct Bitcoin payments accepted here yet.
Thankfully, I have my
card as the ultimate bridge. I was able to pay for lunch using the debit card, which (almost) instantly off-ramps from my Lightning balance to Euros at the point of sale. ⚡️➡️💶
While I’d prefer to pay natively, tools like Bringin allow us to live on a Bitcoin standard in Europe today, even when the merchants aren't quite there yet.
Back to home now to keep helping the real smart people build the infrastructure that will eventually make this card unnecessary! 🏛️🧱
