First off, I’ve been to a couple of these places in Detroit and adding “no bitcoin” to the title to make relevant for HN... is like saying ”and they also don’t have space shuttle parking!!”
Second, I wonder how many places are really avoiding cards because of a 3% fee or because of extra administration and not really because they may be creative with their tax reporting?

- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoYea, maybe... I work in Detroit. The reason cards aren’t taken in some places is not because of privacy, I highly doubt. I have never met a privacy minded person in real life except maybe outside of a tech program in A2 (Ann Arbor)
