#bitcoin is one large shitshow right now.
Its extremely discouraging that I would NOT be comfortable advising a company to implement a bitcoin strategy (be it savings or accepting payments) right now.
Bottom line (and it hurts to say this), the bitcoin eco-system is just not secure right now.
Meaning basically the only thing you could reliably do right now is self-custody.
How would you advise a brick and mortar shop to accept btc right now and why?
It used to be the downside was speculative/volatility.
Now, its just plain insecurity in the software you would use to interact with it, and that kills the whole use case for mass adoption.
