The Oshi newsletter now pays subscribers real Bitcoin for engaging with every email.<br/><br/>Here&#39;s how it works: you get a newsletter, you answer a quick poll, you earn sats. That&#39;s it. Every email is an earning opportunity. As far as I know, no other newsletter does this.<br/><br/>The first question people always ask is &#34;what about bots?&#34; Fair. Here&#39;s how we handle it: your sats accumulate in your rewards portal, but to unlock them, you need to make a qualifying purchase at a business in the Oshi network. A real purchase, at a real business, by a real person. No bot army can fake that.<br/><br/>But here&#39;s the part I actually like. It&#39;s not just an anti-abuse mechanism. If you play your cards right, it effectively works out to an additional 10% back on your purchases. You&#39;re earning sats passively by reading a newsletter, discovering high-quality, independently owned businesses offering Bitcoin rewards, and then when you find one you love (and you will, because these are genuinely great businesses), your newsletter sats unlock on top of whatever that merchant already offers.<br/><br/>The flywheel: you engage with the newsletter, you earn sats, you discover a business, you shop, your sats unlock, the merchant gets a new customer, you get rewarded for all of it. Everyone wins.<br/><br/>We&#39;re just getting started with this. More frequent sends, merchant spotlights, and more. 2026-04-01T20:15:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv8s584y4kxm8y36rjktn5cs4ckeg8hptqju2e2a7jysm2395g27czyrl93sqw5k0vm26m8n4gwrtshgfew49aafjnmhlmqpcuag0sz3437gmmmy2 This is one of those partnerships that just makes sense.<br/><br/>A Bitcoin-native health savings account that holds real Bitcoin, not an ETF, with a triple tax advantage.

Food, skincare, coffee, lifestyle, consumer goods. Bitcoin-focused venues were excluded. All metrics were computed at each merchant independently, then aggregated. Customer identification uses anonymized, non-identifiable platform IDs. No personal information was used.<br/><br/>Under 1% of customers at these stores used a Bitcoin payment gateway (Strike, BTCPay Server, OpenNode, IBEXPay, Zaprite). But that tiny segment is nearly 3x more valuable than the average customer.<br/><br/>Here's what we found:<br/><br/>They spend 38% more on their very first order. No rewards earned yet, no loyalty program. Day one, they're already outspending the average customer.<br/><br/>They come back. Nearly 3 out of 4 regular customers buy once and disappear. The majority of Bitcoin customers return — roughly 50% more likely to make a repeat purchase. And every Bitcoin purchase is a conscious decision. No subscriptions, no auto-ship. They open their wallet and choose to pay. Every single time.<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/daa3870bec822e1f0e92da3c81b429881973173943ee51834771d59a1c92ef42.png"> <br/><br/>The spending premium doesn't fade — it grows. Compared to the store median: +30% on the first visit, +42% on the second, +62% on the third. All merchant-adjusted, so it's not a difference in which stores they shop at. It's how they shop within the same store.<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/0fd14fd714c69157b7a97979b7f3c8d5142f160ed8968c0b774e66989f0eaea0.png"> <br/><br/>Lifetime value: $479 average for Bitcoin customers vs. $164 for everyone else. The median tells the same story — $204 vs. $117. Not outliers. Population-level.<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/7cb8f3571727a49665c95d3a6151e6a920f28ad73507aadc2f6166cab8b2d9f3.png"> <br/><br/>"But what about bear markets?" When the price is rising, they spend 53% more than average. When it's falling, they still spend 39% more. The premium contracts but never disappears. The idea that Bitcoiners only show up during bull runs isn't supported by the data.<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/b8926a1071090dbaf3d64e1a7cc2dfa240f9bd1e7da07c372a7d51e6334da88c.png"> <br/><br/>The finding that surprised us most: Bitcoiners are famously privacy-conscious — encrypted comms, VPNs, the whole stack. Yet they opt into marketing at higher rates than the average customer. When a privacy-conscious person gives you permission to reach them, it's because they actually want to hear from you. That's a different kind of relationship.<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/462f86c49a9bd4f1300814ad58dc8f0f778c986f0d9f840b8f8556ad18fe42ba.png"> <br/><br/>Each of these findings compounds: higher first purchase × more repeat visits × growing spend per visit × higher reachability × resilience across market conditions = nearly 3x lifetime value. Not one advantage. Every advantage, simultaneously.<br/><br/>We know what Bitcoiners already understand about themselves — low time preference, quality over quantity, values-driven purchasing, genuine brand loyalty when earned. This is just the first time anyone's put real merchant data behind it.<br/><br/>The full study with methodology and FAQ: <a href="https://oshi.tech/research/bitcoin-customers">https://oshi.tech/research/bitcoin-customers</a> </blockquote> 2026-03-20T18:01:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8vwfa7084dg80wd7gz7f3cz87plvkmvyyfk0cw2frfwfzyqrvjlgzyrl93sqw5k0vm26m8n4gwrtshgfew49aafjnmhlmqpcuag0sz34374003f8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0z7zramcclg3z4edj3cdp30tw5duntzq3es86d0njm203z7evfrsukw9dg'>nevent1q…w9dg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>With all that said, this is a massive step forward.<br/><br/>Huge credit to the Square / Block team, <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyehwumn8ghj7mnhvvh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7ctewe4xcetfd3khsvrpdsmk5vnsw96rydr3v4jrz73hvyu8xqpqsg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q8dzj6n" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>jack</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…zj6n</span>)</a></span> , and <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqpqds3hmzemzgp9rsuvyvxqdk0y3uxnq9m903dktjxrvyfwk9w99t4sunzkaf" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>miles</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…zkaf</span>)</a></span> .

But it doesn’t solve the hardest problem.<br/><br/>Supply ≠ demand.<br/>Merchants accepting BTC is step one.<br/>Getting people to actually use it is step two.<br/><br/>The closest comparison is Apple Pay. It launched in 2014 and even after more than a decade, tap-to-pay in the U.S. is still only a portion of overall payments.<br/><br/>Something objectively better than cards took years to change behavior, and is used less than cards today.<br/><br/>Apple Pay did not change the money. Same cards. Same dollars. Most people already had smartphones and cards on file.<br/><br/>And even then, it took years to gain real usage.<br/><br/>Bitcoin is different. You are asking people to<br/>-use a different currency<br/>-change how they pay (QR code)<br/>-rethink what money is<br/>-overcome any negative perceptions<br/><br/>That is a much bigger behavioral leap than tapping a phone.<br/><br/>So even if every merchant accepts Bitcoin, most people still will not use it without a reason to switch.<br/><br/>The most reliable pattern we have seen is<br/>earn Bitcoin → learn → then eventually spend it<br/><br/>Starting with incentives works. Starting with payments alone usually does not.<br/><br/>This is not to say Bitcoin payments are doomed. Far from it.<br/><br/>This is the exact problem we have been focused on at Oshi since 2020. After onboarding 100+ merchants, we have spent years trying to understand what actually drives real usage.<br/><br/>What we have found is that adoption does not start with payments.<br/><br/>It starts by giving people a low-friction way to interact with Bitcoin.<br/><br/>The businesses that work best act as a modern day Bitcoin faucet.<br/><br/>When that happens, customers engage more and are far more likely to eventually spend it.<br/><br/>That is what turns acceptance into actual usage.

When businesses use Bitcoin rewards to grow, they indirectly drive real consumer adoption.<br/><br/>Rewards work because they fit existing behavior.<br/><br/>While it would be amazing if more people paid with Bitcoin (and they will eventually), we don&#39;t necessarily need them to right this moment.<br/><br/>Bitcoin can simply be a benefit of shopping at a particular business, not a decision.<br/><br/>I wrote a short piece expanding on this idea, focused on earning Bitcoin through everyday spending instead of buying or spending it directly.
