Exactly. It has to start with orange-pilling the farmer first. If the producer is still pricing, saving, and restocking in fiat, the loop is fake from day one. Then the vendor buys in sats and sells in sats, and finally the consumer closes the loop by paying in sats too. Producer → vendor → consumer, all on Bitcoin, no fiat escape hatch. That’s when it stops being “merchant adoption” and becomes a real Bitcoin economy.
Otherwise, are we really building circular economies, or just Bitcoin-themed payment demos?
