Bitcoin Magazine Podcast Coffee, Crypto and the Hodling Merchant's Perspective
Sure, bitcoin is a store of value and a hedge against global debt and inflation. But what is it actually like for a merchant to transact with it day to day — to pay taxes, to cover exchange rates and properly manage multiple wallets?
Today's guest is Denet Lewis, owner of Beans N Barbels, who accepted bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at his coffee kiosk at the Bitcoin 2019 conference. Lewis helps paint a picture of the pros and cons of accepting bitcoin as a small business owner and offers a glimpse into the hurdles that lie ahead for broader merchant adoption.
