It's almost as if maintaining 100% ideological purity is a terrible business decision, and followingly, a terrible decision for spurring on further Bitcoin adoption.

PayPerQ:

- Hold a BTC treasury
- Accepted 1/3rd of its investment in BTC.
- Pays salaries in BTC
- Offers a discount when paying via Lightning
- Sells all altcoins accepted to pay bills, holds onto as much BTC as possible.
- Runs its own lightning node
- Is paid by two of its gift card partners in BTC
- Serves as its own sovereign merchant via BTCPayServer
- Sends out creator payments via the lightning network.
- Regularly pushes forward various new lightning tech and discussion.
- Earns BTC interest on cash reserves via River.com.


I'm being honest when I say that if PPQ was "Bitcoin only" in its full form, we would no longer be in business. Competitors accepting stables and altcoins would have swallowed us up by now.

Be "Bitcoin-first" like us, don't be "Bitcoin-suicidal" like Darthcoin!

P.S. I very much respect the work that you've done over the years. I have personally benefited from your educational materials!
