In the first case, I was thinking mostly of buying goods IRL -- grocery shopping, prepared food, these sorts of things.
What if you could get it all cheaper, privately, over the internet, paid with sats, without having to go visit brick & mortar?
I'm generally resistant to ordering food online, but I think it is possibly just me being silly. I'd certainly be interested in an option like this for non perishable items.
I haven't yet tried out Bitpost #1591653 but I need to.
That's not for you
It is because I'd like the SN model to succeed and one of the things I perceive blocking it (in non Bitcoin circles) is that people do not want the Bitcoin -- but you can only do SN with Bitcoin (at least I thinking trying to operate it on stables or by deposits would be illegal in the US and have awful UX).
I don't think I'm advocating a flat mindset here. I'm trying to make it so that the normies I've approached over the last year are more likely to use SN style forums.
buying goods IRL
If you move to Bitcoin Beach, you can buy your produce in Bitcoin. It may not be a good solution, but it is one. And it stands to reason that if Scoresby can't come to Bitcoin Beach, then maybe it is possible for Bitcoin Beach to come to Scoresby? You cannot tell other people what to do, but you can compete with them. It'll be a big project.
people do not want the Bitcoin
But how on earth can something increase Bitcoin adoption by offering alternatives to bitcoin-only concepts that do not use Bitcoin? Doesn't that have the complete opposite effect? If the business requires it, whatever, but then it has no longer anything to do with Bitcoin.
What if you could get it all cheaper, privately, over the internet, paid with sats, without having to go visit brick & mortar? Would that be an acceptable alternative?
That's not for you, and fiat != bitcoin. The stablecoin mindset is a shitcoiner mindset, because the fiat it tokenizes is a shitcoin AND the tokenization contract doesn't have enforcement to the peg, so that is a shitcoin too. shitsquaredcoin.
