Steak ‘n Shake Accepting Bitcoin: To Spend or Not to Spend?

Steak ‘n Shake recently started accepting Bitcoin payments, and it’s got the Bitcoin community buzzing! I am seeing a divide in the Bitcoiner's: Team HODL: Some folks say, “Why would I spend my BTC on a burger when it could be worth way more later?” Holding tight, seeing Bitcoin as a store of value, not pocket change to spend on some cheap fat food. Team Adoption: Others argue spending a few sats at Steak ‘n Shake helps push Bitcoin mainstream. They’re fine with dropping some BTC for a burger and replacing it later, saying real world use is the key to Bitcoin's growth. I’m leaning toward Team Adoption, using BTC in everyday spots like this could normalize it and drive exposure and demand, but I understand the HODL mindset too. What’s your take? Should we spend our Bitcoin at Steak ‘n Shake or keep stacking sats? submitted by /u/BTCEdFoundation [link] [comments]

Steak ‘n Shake recently started accepting Bitcoin payments, and it’s got the Bitcoin community buzzing!

I am seeing a divide in the Bitcoiner's:

  • Team HODL: Some folks say, “Why would I spend my BTC on a burger when it could be worth way more later?” Holding tight, seeing Bitcoin as a store of value, not pocket change to spend on some cheap fat food.
  • Team Adoption: Others argue spending a few sats at Steak ‘n Shake helps push Bitcoin mainstream. They’re fine with dropping some BTC for a burger and replacing it later, saying real world use is the key to Bitcoin's growth.

I’m leaning toward Team Adoption, using BTC in everyday spots like this could normalize it and drive exposure and demand, but I understand the HODL mindset too.

What’s your take? Should we spend our Bitcoin at Steak ‘n Shake or keep stacking sats?
