Crypto 360°

I've just returned from lunch where I tipped the waitress in Bitcoin Cash. I've found tips are a fantastic way to introduce people to the technology. It's super easy to do, has a much higher success rate than I would have guessed, and you should give it a try.

Some tips:

-Only try this if the restaurant isn't busy. You don't want to be adding hassle and complexity to an already-stressful shift.

-Ask if they're willing to accept a tip in Bitcoin Cash and be quick to add that you're happy to tip in the usual way if they'd prefer. A lot of people have heard of cryptocurrency but have never been directly presented with an in-person opportunity to try it out. The idea here is to offer that opportunity without forcing it on them. If they'd rather you added the tip to your card as usual, do that without objection or further discussion.

-Use the bitcoin.com wallet app. This app is sooo good for this sort of thing. There's no account creation or setup hassle; you just download/open the app and the wallet is created. The app also supports 0-conf transactions, so the server can instantly see the money in their wallet when you do the send.

-Give an unusually large tip not only as a thank-you for humoring you with your magic internet money, but also as a way to counter any negative volatility and so they have a few extra bucks to play around with, which is especially handy for...

-Offer them the opportunity to send you a small amount ($0.05) back so they can see how easy it is to use.

-The last thing I do is mention a few of the perks ("you can send any amount of money anywhere in the world instantly and for free at any time on any day") and answer any questions they might have

Here's the tx for the tip I gave with lunch today: https://explorer.bitcoin.com/bch/tx/91246e8701bc683082c5bbde36b9c2726641d7eab35bd1b92e53116a57cac246
