Welcome to Bitcoin Tuesday!
Every Tuesday, I feature a restaurant, café, or shop that accepts Bitcoin.
The goal? Show that Bitcoin is not just for hodling – it’s for everyday use!
For Hive users, thanks to V4V, it’s super easy to swap HIVE or HBD into Lightning BTC and pay instantly.

💡 Why This Place Rocks
- It’s an everyday spot – pizzeria / snack bar – so ideal for regular BTC usage, not only high-end restaurants.
- Located centrally, likely with good foot traffic.
- Being part of Plan ₿ means it benefits from city efforts: merchant support, POS integration, visibility via MyLugano App / Plan ₿ map.
🌍 Crypto-Friendliness of Lugano & Plan ₿
Here’s a summary of how Lugano has become one of the front-runners in real-world crypto adoption:
- Lugano’s Plan ₿ initiative (started in March 2022) is a collaboration with Tether, aiming to integrate Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT) and the local token LVGA into many aspects of city life. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- The city accepts Bitcoin and Tether for all municipal bills: taxes, fines, service invoices – using an automated process via Bitcoin Suisse. Residents and businesses can now use these cryptos for even large or small community fees. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- There are hundreds of merchants (restaurants, bars, shops, services) participating in Plan ₿ who accept crypto payments (BTC, USDT, LVGA) – from fast food to leisure. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- Additional incentives: 10% cashback via MyLugano App when paying with crypto at participating merchants. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
So Lugano is not just talk — there’s infrastructure, incentives, and policy backing making crypto payments a real option for many everyday transactions.
