New sticker pack drop: Kitty Bitty.

It all started with Bitty (full-sized), then Itty Bitty (fun-sized), and now Kitty Bitty (meow-sized). Tap to add them all plus 143 additional Here Comes Bitcoin stickers to Signal: https://signal.art/addstickers/#pack_id=9d63755854067742717ef404b589fbde&pack_key=79b28f24eb944f5b2bdd77316b170fd6cc9bbdc24735add40a6d90540ec7a1a0

Here Comes Bitcoin is also at over 25,000,000 views on Giphy, and that was before we added dozens more this morning. They’re great if you’re like us and recognize that life is more fun when you act like an idiot: https://giphy.com/herecomesbitcoin

Agentic payments are coming. It’s time for open-source agents to step up, or their days are numbered, writes matt (nprofile…k2n0)

To capture the sound and the fury of this latest What’s Matt Mad at Now, matt (nprofile…k2n0) also recorded an uncharacteristically softspoken version of the post.

Human Bitcoin Addresses (BIP 353) end the confusion of having to use bitcoin addresses that look like 1Aqv9KxZc2y7M8b in favor of something that looks more like a Cash App, Venmo, or email addresses. Do it for grandma.

This holiday season, instead of explaining immutability, digital scarcity, or decentralization to your uncle, try something that should make sense: small businesses not having to pay 3% credit card fees. bitcoinmerchantcommunity.org.

2025-11-21T18:18:13+01:00

We need contributors from all over to help us expand the Bitcoin Merchant Community, which is already growing like a thing that grows quickly: https://bitcoinmerchantcommunity.org

If you’ve started onboarding merchants or just want to, we launched a Discord where you can share what works, what hasn’t, and what could: https://discord.gg/f2xHv5QYK7

Maybe you saw the merchant onboarding plushies we gave US bitcoin hubs. Now we’re giving away more through the new Local Champions program, where bitcoiners can apply to get 25 plushies + leave-behinds for distribution to merchants and fellow bitcoiners: https://tally.so/r/Bzz5qQ

What else? If you’re a merchant or know one and want to support real money, join the Bitcoin Merchant Community’s Facebook Group to share ideas about marketing assets that might encourage customers to pay with bitcoin. Digital? Physical? Mystical? Tell us: https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fbitcoinmerchants%2F

And there’s more. The BMC’s website and marketing assets are under a Creative Commons license. Despite not knowing what kind of assets would be effective, we took a first shot. Use our Canva template to take a second, third, and fourth. Make us look bad. https://www.canva.com/design/DAG4oZRCO1E/WfBl_mXck2u1CYBE58hoYQ/view?mode=preview

Almost done. The BMC increases bitcoin payment adoption, but first, they need solid software. We remain vendor-agnostic, only endorsing easy POS solutions that cater to physical retail. If you're a POS vendor, check out the criteria then get in touch. https://github.com/bitcoinmerchants/bmc-website?tab=readme-ov-file#criteria-for-bitcoin-pos-solutions-to-be-included-on-the-bmc-website

Finally, get hyped. This initiative only works if you do. GitHub issues are the best way to improve the website and marketing materials. We really want to hear from global bitcoiners who want to translate marketing assets into languages not yet supported. https://github.com/bitcoinmerchants/marketing-assets

Plushies, kits, and in-person persuasion: the bitcoin-centric tactics we’re using to save small businesses 3%.

quoting
nevent1q…l3rp
Square did their part, now let’s do ours. For bitcoin to become everyday money, merchants need to accept it. But first, they’ll need a reason to. We've put together the resources to help anyone make the case that only bitcoin can defeat credit card fees: https://bitcoinmerchantcommunity.org

These resources include persuasive leave-behind materials that bitcoiners can bring to local businesses, from subtle, home printer-friendly handouts to bold, attention‑grabbing combo pieces like, uh, a plushie with impeccable penmanship.

But no matter how good a leave-behind is, it’s better with a face. Included with each leave-behind is a playbook for you that includes step‑by‑step guidance for how to make the bitcoin case to merchants.

We hope for this community to be an open and independent group with a simple goal: bitcoin payment adoption among merchants—regardless of which point-of-sale solution they prefer. It’s also where all of the resources we’ve mentioned so far can be found for free.

For now, if you want the plushie combo, you'll have to pick it up at @bitcoinpark_ in Austin and Nashville, @atlbitlab, @SpaceDenver, and @PresidioBitcoin. This might change, though. Who can say? Bitcoin is weird and it’s only getting weirder.

The official position of the Spiral team is that Satoshi is a cat:

1) Never around when people want them to be.
2) Impossible to find when they don’t want to be found.
3) Eats weird gross food.
4) Proficient in C++, which has the number of characters as “cat,” starts with a C, and has a character that looks like a lowercase T.
5) Keeps weird hours.
6) Prefers English spelling because all cats have British accents.
7) What are cypherpunks if not mysterious? What are cats if not mysterious?
8) Independent and unknowable.
9) Whiskers, probably.
10) Could be sitting next to you and you wouldn’t know it.
11) Could be sitting on you and you wouldn’t know it.
12) Knows how to use a keyboard.
13) Very popular online.
14) Known to “move on to other things.”
15) Satoshi Nakamoto is a Japanese name. You know who eats a lot of fish? The Japanese. You know who else?
