The purpose of Bitcoin is stated in the White Paper: "Commerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on the financial institutions serving as trusted third parties to process electronic payments ..... What is needed is an electronic payment system ..... without a trusted party". Today this vision is a reality! Some people are attracted by the idea of gaining wealth by hodling Bitcoin, some are attracted by the original purpose of Bitcoin. Lando Rothbardian is an early adopter and a core-purpose-contributor to the Bitcoin space. He has started an online-shop in 2018 and proposed his customers to shop in Bitcoin : ShopinBit. The business has grown since to ONE MILLION products available. On his way fostering adoption of Bitcoin Lando had to convince not only retail investors, but also partners along the supply chain in the consumer goods industry. He has exciting insights to talk about. He has also insights to share about the distinguishing characteristics of a Bitcoin and a FIAT-Payment customer. The Title-Question of the talk will be answered. We are welcoming not only Bitcoin enthusiasts but also retailers and people curious about the Bitcoin space.
