Went to Steak 'n Shake yesterday and paid with Lightning.
Went pretty seamless: the cashier brought out a separate tablet with a QR code on it. I scanned it and send, it confirmed instantly and we were done.
They said that I was one of the fastest to pay (I've done this may times before), and everyone else who tried it fumbled around for a few minutes before getting it right.
I used @PhoenixWallet, the best semi-noncustodial Lightning wallet and it worked fine.
This felt a lot like paying with crypto at small merchants over the past decade, only this was a major chain, though few locations are set up to take it yet.
Ran into other Bitcoiners who also paid there, they mostly used Wallet of Satoshi (fully-custodial) or Phoenix.
This feels like where we could have been in 2016 if Bitcoin had scaled on-chain. But still, adoption is adoption.
Mostly agree, but the block size wars had a huge impact. I personally have witnessed the adoption movement grow and then fizzle out after the wars. Regulations were the same, or better, than today.
Again I can't agree with that because I saw people adopting and using it during this time. What changed is that all the energy got sucked out of the room with the block size wars.
Correlation isn't pure causation but it does leave clues.
still can’t pay with crypto in Japan, at least not without Kyc. The best you can do is use it to buy gift cards 😑
Although, I am helping @tentententen build her business and we accept crypto for her yarn products. Hope to open the first physical location to accept HBD in Japan in the next year.
merchants don’t accept crypto at all really. There are a few that do it as a gimmick (mostly electronic stores) , you might find no one in the shop knows the procedure because they need to use a specific KYC wallet.
In Japan crypto is generally just seen as a speculative asset, and as that it’s very popular, but that’s it really 🥺
I believe both need one. I’m not sure. Honestly I don’t try because I don’t want the attention it will bring, I already stand out enough here. Also I don’t buy much at these department stores, I stick to local shops wherever I can
@kendewitt did us right again!
Welcome Charles! Hope you like it, feel free to tag me if you have any questions. I've been on chain for 8 years now somehow!
Welcome to INLEO. There are many great things to explore. UI looks very similar to X, but there are many amazing things working under the hood. LeoDEX is one of them. Feel free to ask questions on anything.
LeoDEX connect 3 best cross chain DEXs in the world in one place. You always have access and control of your funds when using a DEX. The downside is some of the more advanced trading features in Binance are missing on LeoDEX. But you will never witness an FTX like situation. Binance cannot give such guarantees. Check out @khaleelkazi on INLEO Threads to learn more about the latest updates and what is in the pipeline for release over the next few weeks.
I have not heard this song before, but the style sounds familiar.
I wonder if they have other hit songs or if they are imitated by bands who came after them?
That’s a blast from the past with "Ooh La La In L.A." by Slade! 38 years takes us back to ‘87, crazy how time flies, right? Bet it’s bringing back some good vibes.
So beautiful and I like the way you frame other nature elements when taking photos. Not only the sun, but the trees are giving it more beauty and mystery.
Depends who’s collecting and how it’s spent. In some places, high tax feels like robbery. In others, it feels like a subscription to working infrastructure and healthcare. Context is everything.
Love signs like these, simple, rustic, and full of wanderlust. Just looking at it makes you want to walk barefoot in the sand and see where the trail leads.
I haven't seen signs like this in a while.
I like these old wooden signs they have character and remind me that we can make things with our hands and fix them with our hands too.
Nice wallet, I will keep to myself (in case its legitimate owner's not around or no identity docs are inside) and will let the waste (FIAT) in the nearest bin...

Welcome, friends, to today's episode of the #foodtalk show on Leo, Day 341. Share any food content, your weekend meals and food experiences. Let's have more food discussions and learn from each other.
💡 Idea: Since Arbitrum has now joined Kaito, a good idea would be yapping (tweeting) about LeoDEX/Arbitrum on X. You can for example add your LeoDEX ref and also earn yaps! Arb reward pool is 400k $ARB
Having the knowledge related to technology in the present time is very important. Coding is one of those, and coding-related knowledge can be helpful in various ways.
Do you think that it's good to introduce coding in the early stage of the education system? What are the benefits of it, and aren't there any negative consequences of it?
Anthropic just silenced the critics by letting them talk to Claude. At long last, the platform can now chat with you out loud, giving you another way to work, brainstorm, and study. And: A new agent promises to help you build apps you can actually use at work.
hi it's me again, and y'all can call me, madaug, this is my second post on Inleo threads. I used this as my profile but can't seem to see it. #newtoinleo

Go try it out! Way better than fiat.
#bitcoin #crypto
damn that’s amazing!
It's a start. Now I'm working letting the DashPay wallet pay Lightning invoices, would be nice if we get that.
100%
this is where we could have been if the US government didn’t decide a currency has capital gains.
That is the real reason adoption stalled for a decade.
Yes though to be clear, this is in the US now.
Yes. But the cause of the delay in adoption had to do with regulation not block wars.
Plus lightning is not the answer.
To move forward we have to make sure we don’t try and rewrite the past by telling from our viewpoint.
I did a panel a few weeks back on it, with NH as a specific case study:
Mostly agree, but the block size wars had a huge impact. I personally have witnessed the adoption movement grow and then fizzle out after the wars. Regulations were the same, or better, than today.
true but that is insider baseball to the normies it stopped being a currency the minute cap gains taxes were applied.
Again I can't agree with that because I saw people adopting and using it during this time. What changed is that all the energy got sucked out of the room with the block size wars.
Correlation isn't pure causation but it does leave clues.
100%!

Really, so they don't let you pay without KYC at the merchant? Even though cash isn't KYC?
merchants don’t accept crypto at all really. There are a few that do it as a gimmick (mostly electronic stores) , you might find no one in the shop knows the procedure because they need to use a specific KYC wallet.
In Japan crypto is generally just seen as a speculative asset, and as that it’s very popular, but that’s it really 🥺
Interesting, so the merchant needs a KYC wallet? But not the customer?
I believe both need one. I’m not sure. Honestly I don’t try because I don’t want the attention it will bring, I already stand out enough here. Also I don’t buy much at these department stores, I stick to local shops wherever I can
hi everyone, I'm Charles and this is my first thread. I was reading on medium and someone called Ken had this blog which led me here. #newtoinleo
Welcome to Inleo, Charles! 💪
Is this the first actual user in ages? 😆
!BBH
heh! Yeah, but I'm glad to see people finding Inleo on other platforms. I always share my posts outside Inleo and add ref links to them.
Your comment, haha. Tired of seeing bots, I guess.
Absolutely! I see why people do it, but it tiring to see 😂
!BBH
thanks brand, the guy called Ken is he also here? That article brought me here
No problem! Like @caspermoeller89 , you can tag him here. Probably the fastest way of finding someone 👍
yes Brando I have made my intro blog and tagged him in it.
Nice work! 👍
If go to the article again you can see his username and tag him with the @ username he has 😊
oh ok, that's nice, I was creating a ln intro post so I'll tag him
Oh, @kendewitt's post brought you here, that's nice.
Welcome to INLEO Charles. I hope you stay active and enjoy the ride.
thank you madam, I just successfully made my intro here
@kendewitt did us right again!
Welcome Charles! Hope you like it, feel free to tag me if you have any questions. I've been on chain for 8 years now somehow!
8 years? This chain has been here for 8 years? I'm shocked
Hive blockchain has! INLEO I believe is 5 or 6 years old
oh ok then Inleo didn't start with Hive, but still though it proves this system is not going to die. This is awesome
The fact that this community is still standing is amazing, if it’s made it this far, I do not think it will die, even if it changes form
yes I agree with that completely
welcome!
thank you man, I'm actually preparing an intro post officially so hopefully that goes well
Welcome, enjoy ;)
thank you draker
Welcome to INLEO. There are many great things to explore. UI looks very similar to X, but there are many amazing things working under the hood. LeoDEX is one of them. Feel free to ask questions on anything.
thank you bro, first hearing of LeoDEX, so it's like Binance for Inleo
LeoDEX connect 3 best cross chain DEXs in the world in one place. You always have access and control of your funds when using a DEX. The downside is some of the more advanced trading features in Binance are missing on LeoDEX. But you will never witness an FTX like situation. Binance cannot give such guarantees.

Best of Luck!
wow that's awesome man, them with such an advantage it has great potential
I almost forgot I'd written that post lol. Welcome to Inleo @madaug!
woah finally the main dude has responded, thanks so much for that article it led me here and I've brought a couple of my friends too
sweet. yeah I haven't been on much lately, have been working on a project. glad to hear you are getting into it and bringing others!
Oh wow I hope the project is going great
Better than expected. Bringing it to Inleo at some point 😁
Oh wow that's awesome you're legend bro
Listening to
Ooh La La In L. A. (by Slade)
OMG, is it 38 years since I heard this for the first time?
Time really does fly when great music is involved.
That track has aged like fine wine, still catchy, still full of soul!
Wow! 38 years!
Time really flies, doesn’t it? This song still has that magical spark.
Nostalgia just hit like a wave 💙
Ooh La La indeed!
I have not heard this song before, but the style sounds familiar.
I wonder if they have other hit songs or if they are imitated by bands who came after them?
Omg yes!! That one’s a total blast from the past!
38 years and it still hits with that same spark. Music really is a time machine!
Time really flies when a song becomes part of your soul's soundtrack.
Whoa, what a throwback!
Time really does fly when the soundtrack of your life has this much la la in it.
38 years later and it still hits just right, pure nostalgia gold.
What a blast from the past! That chorus still hits like sunshine on a road trip. Can’t believe it’s been 38 years, some songs just never age.
I am listening now. First time , its a nice song. Can listen a few more times .
One of my favourite songs it was. Thank you for making me listen to it. Some old memories flashed back.
That’s a blast from the past with "Ooh La La In L.A." by Slade! 38 years takes us back to ‘87, crazy how time flies, right? Bet it’s bringing back some good vibes.
A nice song 🎵 while doing my chores. Happy Sunday, Sir.
Good vibes and I bet this is great to listen when driving and pushing the pedal to the metal!
Time really does fly when the music hits right 🎶
Some songs don’t age, they just become part of your story.
It bookmarks your memories without asking permission.
One note, and suddenly you’re back in a younger version of yourself.
Isn’t it amazing how one song can bring back a whole era in just a few seconds?
Ooh La La indeed
At last it dawned on me. 😅
It's the same band performing "Merry Xmas Everybody."
I enjoy InLeo for exactly this. I keep discovering "new" songs constantly.

Sun goes down ...to sleep...into a sea ...and bushes...
Few moments ago.
#baltics #summer #sunset
The way the sun dips into the sea and disappears behind those bare branches… like nature's own bedtime story.
Absolutely dreamy
A fiery goodbye slipping behind the waves…
The kind of sunset that makes you pause, just to feel the moment.
The sun doesn’t just set here. It whispers goodbye through sea spray and sleepy branches.
What a poetic farewell from the sun
Tucking itself behind the Baltic waves and branches like it's retreating to a soft, quiet dream.
Nature always knows how to sign off the day beautifully.
The way that sun melts into the sea and hides behind the brush just breathtaking.
Mother Nature really knows how to say goodnight in style.
What a tender little poem painted in light.
Very beautiful . One can sit for some time ti enjoy the golden colours.
A beautiful photo. Good
Very nicely captured. Nature is very calm
So beautiful and I like the way you frame other nature elements when taking photos. Not only the sun, but the trees are giving it more beauty and mystery.
Moments like these don’t need filters, just presence.
I love a good sunset.
Mine goes down over a mountain, so it is to short.
This one goes down into the sea, those are my favorite.
There’s something tender in the way the sun surrenders to the sea
No resistance. No noise. Just grace.
Thank you for capturing a moment that feels like a whispered lullaby to the world.
Wow ...breathtaking moments you've got there
that's a beautiful sight to behold
And you have captured a fantastic shot.
Wow, A wonderful orange solo, nature definitely paints some beautiful landscapes.😎
Very nice view. Wishing you a nice weekend.
Sneak preview
New Send UI coming to LeoDex
Awesome ❤️

Some places just stand tall even when hidden behind the branches of time and nature.
The environment is calm and beautiful
When dinner hits all the right notes
Taxation is theft.
Depends who you ask, some call it theft, others call it “society’s subscription fee.”
But looking at Denmark’s 35.7%, you gotta wonder if they at least throw in free WiFi and therapy!
No sugarcoating it. 100% theft
free money for the politicians to luxuries.
The real question is : are we paying for a system that works, or just fueling inefficiency?
Because high tax without high return definitely feels more like theft than service.
That graphic says it all
Denmark leading the “donation drive” while Poland’s out here living tax-lite!
Oof… Denmark really out here collecting premium subscriptions on life 😅
Is it social support or just state-sanctioned daylight robbery?
Either way, the paycheck feels lighter.
And yet… somehow, Denmark always ranks as one of the happiest countries on Earth. 🤔
High taxes, high services, maybe theft comes with healthcare and education included?
Depends who’s collecting and how it’s spent. In some places, high tax feels like robbery. In others, it feels like a subscription to working infrastructure and healthcare. Context is everything.
In my country is 10% and I think I am lucky, but in the same time the country has serious deficit and they might increase taxes for everyone.
It's funny Europeans use to move to America to escape high taxes,. I guess it's now Americans moving to Europe to escape high taxes!
Anything more than 25% is coercion.
Well, Denmark is low in this image.
My default tax percentage is 39%. That is after 8% has been taken already.
100% true.
One of my fave restos☺️❤️
Distance guide on a beach in #Latvia
Nature, borders, and history all wrapped into one scenic stroll. Latvia knows how to keep things charming and practical.
Woody wood beautiful it looks.
A simple reminder that even at the edge of the sea, direction matters.
I love signs like this, they make even a quiet beach feel like the center of the world.
This is such a vibe! Rustic signs, sea breeze, and the promise of little adventures in every direction.
Now I just need a backpack and some sunscreen! 😄
That's a charming wooden signpost!
Latvia’s beaches really know how to blend charm and direction!
Love signs like these, simple, rustic, and full of wanderlust. Just looking at it makes you want to walk barefoot in the sand and see where the trail leads.
I love these signs and how the weather put the marks on them. If I could and it was legal, I would take them home. :))
I haven't seen signs like this in a while.
I like these old wooden signs they have character and remind me that we can make things with our hands and fix them with our hands too.
How charming is this! 😍
A rustic beach sign that points you to different adventures
Congratulations Pakistan
Having to work on this hot Saturday I decided to treat myself and they gave me this monster burger at Burger King lol 😆

Is History Repeating Itself for Bitcoin This June?
Maybe that’s part of the reason we’re seeing this recent pullback.
So, is this just another dip or is something bigger brewing?
For holding BBH and BBHO, this Saturday, I got the following:
0.0148 BRO
0.0372 DUO
0.056 SWAP.HIVE
0.075 LEO

You kept hoping they’d choose you.
But people can’t choose others
when they haven’t chosen themselves.
Words full of wisdom. They won't love you if they don't love themselves.
Check out my threadcast!
I think you find the subject interesting!
Lost but found. If you found a wallet full with clean notes on the ground like that in the image what will you do?
I start looking for the nearest BTC ATM. No, just kidding, will try to find who it belongs to
Nice wallet, I will keep to myself (in case its legitimate owner's not around or no identity docs are inside) and will let the waste (FIAT) in the nearest bin...
Try to find the person of course.
Happy last day of May. Hope you had a good ride.
In a few hours we will be in the 6th month of the year. Enjoy the remaining hours in May. 🦁
It wasn't a smooth ride, all the same, I am happy for what I achieved.
Happy last day of the May.

Oh, yeah, I've read about that. Not good. Hope Mayachain get that sorted
