Welcome back to Blockstream Talk. Today, we're speaking with Pavlenex and Andrew from BTCPay Server, a self hosted open-source payment processor, that supports free, private, and censorship resistant payments for online and real world Bitcoin transactions. Recently, BTCPay server was used at the Baltic Honeybadger conference to facilitate Bitcoin payments with merchants at the event. Interestingly, many of these merchants were relatively new to Bitcoin. In this conversation, we talked about how BTCPay Server offsets Bitcoin's volatility, a key consideration for retail payment applications, how they managed to get merchants comfortable with accepting Bitcoin, the feedback they received, and how projects like this put us a step closer to establishing a circular Bitcoin economy.
