|    Heres what I leaned this month about what merchants can gain in both cash and bitcoin by turning on Square’s new
|    button.
|    
|    1. If you had a coffee shop, liquor store, and brewery in the same neighborhood, the brewery has the most to
|    gain.
|    
|    Annual credit card fees:
|    
|    • Coffee shop: ~$16K
|    • Liquor store: ~$28K
|    • Brewery: ~$31K
|    
|    2. You only need 1% of customers paying Bitcoin in 2026, growing to 4% by 2030, for meaningful accumulation.
|    
|    3. Square's 50/50 option - half cash, half Bitcoin - means no one's betting their business.
|    
|    With this approach over 5 years:
|    
|    - Coffee shop stacks ~0.08 BTC
|    - Liquor store stacks ~0.15 BTC
|    - Brewery stacks ~0.21 BTC
|    
|    4. Breweries can host bitcoin meetups on slow nights - turning Tuesday into a community event.
|    
|    5. The language you learned bitcoin in - Austrian economics, sound money, freedom money - is foreign to someone
|    trying to make payroll. Let’s not lead with that. (I also explain why I’m not sure the “no chargeback” aspect of
|    bitcoin is a good one to lead with for these businesses).
|    
|    6. They don't need to understand Bitcoin to benefit from accepting it.
|    
|    The article below takes about 12 minutes to read.
|    
|    At the end is a GitHub link with 2-page leave-behinds you can print on card stock for your local coffee shop,
|    brewery, or liquor store. If the merchant gets curious, there's a 20-minute read time document for each type of
|    merchant laying out the full financial case.
|    
|    Bottom line: even with the 50/50 approach, they end up with more cash on hand AND a nice little stack after five
|    years.
