So I watched this clip a few times cos I edited it in the car and noticed that the shop manager does something odd.
I asked “all good on your end?” In the clip when I got the green tick from primal (npub12vk…pugg)
notice how the shop manager doenst check his phone he just puts it away.
AND there isn’t the green tick on his phone screen that you would usually expect to see when my phone shows the tick.
I was like Dafuq is going on?!
So I went back to the shop and asked him how they accept btc.
Turns out he had received the invoice as a screenshot from his boss in a WhatsApp message.
He was showing me that screenshot AND because he knew I was filming as i asked permission, he wanted it to look slick.
Very kind of him, sure but it makes me feel a bit weird about sharing this clip as “I paid in bitcoin at this shop.”
I mean I did, technically, but the real story is more complicated.
Note that I’d been to this shop 4 days ago to buy a SIM card in btc and I hadn’t realised at the time that he must have done the same thing:
Ping his boss the request for the invoice and he showed me the screenshot.
