I think what happens is one employee, manager or owner gets all excited about the new payment method (bitcoin) that will bring in business. Months go by, no one pays in bitcoin, and whichever employee cared about it loses interest or quits. Enthusiasm evaporates. Sellers aren't the issue, I think. It's lack of people who want to pay in bitcoin.

Yeah. This really sucks. It seems like a chicken & egg problem.

Since you got to the QR code, I’m guessing it’s a technical problem that they haven’t bothered to fix.
From Square’s end, it probably does look like they’re able to receive bitcoin payments.

Not sure, as I think that QR code might just be for a "regular" CashApp payment with dollars.

Oh, interesting.

What bothers me is that it's not like the map is covered with stores claiming to accept Bitcoin. This coffeeshop was in Westwood Village, basically on UCLA campus. There are dozens and dozens of coffeeshops and restaurants, but on CashApp's map this was one of the only ones saying it accepted Bitcoin. So my question is -- how did it get on the map, if they don't actually accept Bitcoin?
