Often, when I speak with everyday bitcoiners – Plebs, if you want – they share with me that they are torn from the turning point with their “Fiat work” and be more involved in the Bitcoin space on a professional level.
Usually I tell them that they can start by incorporating Bitcoin into what they currently do to live, however, I have not had an excellent example of someone who did it to which I can indicate them – until this morning.
When the time for the clients of the osteopate Rob Shaw, based in Essex, in the United Kingdom (just outside London), to pay it for its services, it presents them with the possibility of paying with British or bitcoin pounds via a Musqet Pos device .
First Bitcoin payment accepted with @Musqet_bitcoin POS Terminal.
This device reduces traditional payment commissions and also allows Bitcoin transactions.

(Please note that it does not go into a lesson on the underlying technology of Bitcoin or on the principles of the Austrian economy as he does.)
Rob has shared that here and there a customer will act surprised when he was presented with the option to pay with Bitcoin, but that more simply makes their choice between the two and proceed with the payment.
Rob’s efforts led to two of his customers who now pay regularly in Bitcoin, and also provides a contact point for those who have not yet started paying it.
In this way, Rob is a Bitcoin bridge.
(And, ironically, it was an organization called Bridge 2 Bitcoin that introduced Rob to Bitcoin as payment technology for his business.)
He is thinly introducing people to Bitcoin, giving them the opportunity to cross the Bitcoin soil in the process.
Some could call it “orange” (a term that I don’t like very much because it seems too coercive), but I would say that this is a more refined way to present Bitcoin to people. Offer it as an official payment method for professional services, legitimate Bitcoin and pushes those who are not familiar with it to start seeing it under a new light.
If professionals around the world adopted such an approach, Bitcoin adoption would accelerate in particular.
So instead of feeling that you have to drop anything you are doing for the job to join the full -time Bitcoin sector, consider being a Bitcoin bridge and bring the bitcoin industry to what you are already doing.
Be like Rob, be a bitcoin bridge!
