Welcome to Bitcoin Tuesday!
Every Tuesday, I highlight a restaurant, bar, or venue that — ideally — accepts Bitcoin.
The goal? Show that Bitcoin can be used in real life, everywhere — even beyond the “usual crypto cities.”
For Hive users, thanks to V4V, converting HIVE or HBD into Lightning-BTC is simple — so if this lounge accepts BTC, you could pay instantly.
Use Bitcoin Map (or similar) to discover crypto-friendly spots worldwide.
📍 This Week’s Featured Location
- Name: Don Mario Lounge

🖼 Images to Include (once verified)
💡 Why Don Mario Lounge is an Interesting Candidate
- It’s a local bar/lounges — a type of venue which often caters to relaxed, open-minded, maybe younger & mobile clientele: could be more open to crypto payments.
- Featuring a venue from Nigeria — and especially from a place like Calabar — fits the idea of showing Bitcoin adoption beyond typical hotspots.
- If BTC payment works there — it could be a powerful signal for crypto adoption in regions underrepresented in “crypto tourism” maps.
🌍 Crypto Context — Why Checking Places Like This Matters
- In Calabar, there is an active community around crypto: Calabar Bitcoin Club aims to build a “Bitcoin circular economy,” with some local merchants reportedly accepting BTC. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- That means there might already be a foundation for real-world crypto payments in the city — we just need to find and document actual acceptance.
➡ By verifying and publishing success stories: we help build trust, raise awareness — and encourage more businesses to adopt BTC.
🔥 Community Call-to-Action
I invite YOU — especially if you are in or near Calabar — to:
- Visit Don Mario Lounge and ask if they accept Bitcoin or Lightning payments.
- If they do: Pay, take a photo (payment screen or receipt), and post it here!
- If they don’t: Ask them if they’d consider it — your feedback could help spark adoption.
The first verified BTC-payment report will receive 20% of the article rewards.
Also: feel free to suggest other venues (bars, restaurants, cafés) in Nigeria or anywhere in the world that might accept BTC — they could be featured next.
🚀 Extra Initiative
If this post leads to a confirmed BTC payment at Don Mario Lounge (or another spot), I’ll use part of the article rewards to promote / boost its listing on BTC-friendly business directories — helping more people find it and supporting real-world use of Bitcoin.
