一次印第安納波利斯之行將作者帶到福爾頓街的 Kaffeine Coffee Co.,當地一位比特幣用戶在櫃檯用聰 (satoshis) 付款,顯示比特幣使用者可能並不像想像中那麼罕見。
那位熟人描述了一個由印第安納州商人組成的網絡,這些商人是總部位於印第安納波利斯的 Indy Bitcoin Group 一直在推廣比特幣的對象。
首先:Old Major Market LLC(手工肉品)
許多剛開始接受比特幣的商家會透過 Square 等處理器將其全部轉換為現金。然而,隨著時間推移,一旦店主深入研究比特幣,轉變就可能發生。總部位於印第安納波利斯的手工肉品分銷商 Old Major Market LLC 正是說明了這種轉變。
重大更新!!
老闆 Mark LaFay 表示,從2026年開始,Old Major Market 決定將所有收到的比特幣保留在資產負債表上。該公司認為持有這種加密貨幣具有顯著的長期潛力。該公司配送至美國所有48個相鄰州。LaFay 提到,楓糖波本培根尤其受歡迎。
印第安納州中部的比特幣用戶一年多來一直光顧 Old Major,用聰 (satoshis) 購買培根、香腸和特種肉類。雖然該店最初將每一筆比特幣交易立即兌換成現金,但持續的比特幣付款流引起了它的注意。
「1% 橘色藥丸」數學
當一個忠誠的社區將其定期支出導向支持比特幣的商家時,對店主而言的財務理由變得清晰:
- 基準線:年收入100萬美元且利潤率10%的商家,淨利潤為10萬美元。
- 1% 新客戶轉移:如果當地比特幣用戶佔銷售額的1%,即每年1萬美元的比特幣交易。如果店主賣掉這些幣,就會後悔:「如果我當初持有這些幣會怎樣?」…
- 比特幣持有策略:假設該店在2026年持有這些比特幣,且比特幣價值翻倍。那麼付款偏好1%的轉變將使店主的年總收入增至12萬美元。
這套算術提供了對比特幣的終極介紹。一個專注的客戶群將支出導向願意接受的店主,可以推動商家採用比特幣,無論店主是從一開始就持有,還是最終意識到錯過的利潤。
值得注意的提及:當地印第安納波利斯生活必需品:咖啡與葡萄酒
- Kaffeine Coffee Co.(印第安納波利斯市中心):第三波精品咖啡搭配比特幣支付。在櫃檯遇到其他比特幣用戶,顯示咖啡店如何成為社區建設的門戶。
- The Rejoicing Vine(印第安納波利斯西北部):一家以氣泡酒為重點的使命驅動型酒莊,同時舉辦當地「閃電社交」活動。老闆 Brent Kumfer 一年多前開始透過 Square 接受比特幣,受益於零處理費和穩定的當地比特幣用戶活動。該企業目前不持有比特幣,但正在考慮。
