Hey everybody!
It's a lovely afternoon in my neighborhood, which is known as "barrio bitcoin" because of all the merchants that accept bitcoin in their shops around here.
I felt like having a cup of coffee and decided to use my @v4vapp to pay at a coffee shop that accepts Bitcoin. Nobody there knew what underlying technology we're using to bridge HIVE to BTC. They just saw another customer paying with Bitcoin.
If you watched the entire video, I explain that I didn't buy this bitcoin by converting fiat to Bitcoin. I earned it by blogging on https://inleo.io/. Nothing more.
If somebody is interested, they might come over, sign up with Google or X account and start threading. They might find out how cool the Inleo community is and decide to stay. And just like that, we've gained a new user.
You've probably heard @taskmaster4450 say:
Nobody cares if Netflix is hosted on Amazon Web Services or Oracle. All people care about is using it to watch their favorite show. The HIVE ecosystem is the same and thus, we should promote games like Splinterlands, short-form blogging like Inleo and photo dapps such as Liketu
So that's exactly what I did.
I got a lot of love from Bitcoiners on X with laser eyes on their PFP, which is cool.
Unfortunately, I've had zero interaction from fellow Hiveans 😄 so far. Oh well, maybe everybody is so busy earning on Inleo Threads they we forgot to promote our platforms outside of the HIVE ecosystem.
I totally understand if sir @brianoflondon is preoccupied with other more pressing matters. I wish you and your family strength, a calm mind and for these difficult times to be over soon, my friend.
Everybody else: Let's promote the hell out of our killer apps on web 2, shall we?
What do you think of this strategy?

Fast and simple. Awesome! :)
I did fumble a bit when choosing between $HBD or $HIVE, but oh well 🤷♂; it was still pretty fast 😄
Cool! @brianoflondon will appreciate it 🙌🏻 Did you like the coffee btw?
freshly ground Guatemalan coffee is absolutely delicious ☕️
!LUV it! 🙌🏻

Thanks!
People are already exposed to Bitcoin around here. Why not show them seamless BTC alternatives? They don't even know I'm using another blockchain, just that I earned Bitcoin from blogging on https://inleo.io/
Impressive, fast and very cool.
I hope many more sites join crypto adoption and realize that paying in hive and cryptocurrencies is the best thing they can do my friend.
Here in Venezuela there are many businesses that are accepting HIVE to pay for their products.
I hope for this too. I'm trying a slightly different approach though. People here already know Bitcoin around here, so I'm showing them how it's very similar to use @v4vapp
I haven't used that app yet, but from what I've seen it's very simple to use.
MY question is: do I have to have a ligntning wallet to be able to use v4app?
No, @brianoflondon, the creator, spun up a Lightning node so we can go from HIVE to Lightning and back, seamlessly.
If you hold $HIVE, you can pay a Lightning invoice.
If the other party holds Lighting, you can generate a Lightning invoice and receive $HIVE in your wallet. It's quite amazing.
wow, that's great, because it gives the possibility of receiving payments in lightning, that's very amazing.
Thank you very much for clarifying this for me Alex.
Gracias mi amigo!
it's V4V not 4v4 unless your talking about something else lol
Geeze, how did I type it like that? Totally missed it. Thank you for pointing this out, lol. Let me fix that.

This is amazing. Truly the world is moving to the cashless policy direction
Credit cards are also cashless.
I chose to show how easy it is to use a permissionless solution like $HIVE -> $BTC
That is awesome 👍.
I believe cashless might not really be that useless though. Some prefer it where I stayed
This is very good
I really appreciate it
Thank you
Everything was done very quickly and safely. Enjoy your coffee. The Hive is the future, my man. I'm going to share this post on social media right now and do my best to spread the word.
There you go! I hope many people see that.
Wow, that is very cool. This is the first time I've heard of the V4V app, and that conversion and payment was really smooth and easy. Being able to use HBD for everyday purchases like these is incredible. I am curious on their conversion fees though. I hope it isn't too high for the convenience.
