We’re Going Crypto-Digital

Although Chipotle is only accepting digital orders, it was nice to see the local facility communicate this change to confused customers. Upon my arrival, I was one of those confused customers.

On the doors of our Chipotle is a laminated advertisement showing text and a QR code. Scan the code with your smartphone camera and follow the prompts. I did so, went back to my car, ordered and ~10 minutes later my order was on the rack near the cash register. The humor in this is that cash was not at all involved in the process.

I just finished teaching my pal how to buy Bitcoin (BTC) with cash. Effectively, one takes their cash, inserts bills into the Bitcoin ATM closest to them and out prints a receipt. One then takes their smartphone and scans the newly printed QR code on said receipt. You will then be promoted to upload your money to a digital wallet. I recommend BlueWallet. There are more major digital  wallet players in the industry. Those are as follows:

1. Strike: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/strike-bitcoin-payments/id1488724463

2. Muun: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/muun-wallet/id1482037683

3. Wallet of Satoshi: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wallet-of-satoshi/id1438599608

4. Phoenix: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/phoenix-wallet/id1544097028

5. BlueWallet: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bluewallet-bitcoin-wallet/id1376878040

The Bitcoin economy is clearly growing: ATM’s, wallets, mining etc. It hasn’t happened yet although I foresee the government attempting to force a change like when we were told to ditch cable for digital TV. I have the same feeling.

People are living on Bitcoin, completely bypassing interaction with the United States dollar. An app called “Strike” has a feature built in that allows its users to be paid in BTC via direct deposit. The app will generate a routing and account number that you can give to your employer. What bank your money goes into is no one elses business.

Don’t get left behind; this is something you want to be ahead of. Do some research, email me or dive right in. Technology has will continue to change how we live. This is no different. We’re going digital again!
