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
- RocoMamas is a well-known chain, so this isn’t just a one-off — you can use Bitcoin Lightning at many branches.
- Fast food / casual dining makes it practical: the kind of place people visit often.
- Lightning payments reduce wait time & fees, making crypto payments more usable in everyday settings.
🌍 Crypto-Friendliness in South Africa
Here’s how South Africa is doing with Bitcoin adoption, especially in payments:
- RocoMamas has expanded to accept Lightning BTC at over 100 locations across South Africa. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Major retailers like Pick n Pay accept Bitcoin via CryptoQR at many of their stores. You can buy groceries, airtime, and sometimes pay bills using Bitcoin. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- There are directories like BitcoinFriendlySA / CryptoFriendlySA listing restaurants, cafés, stores in Cape Town, the Winelands, etc. It’s easier now to discover places locally that accept Bitcoin. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
So, while adoption isn’t yet universal, there is a clearly growing ecosystem: Lightning payments, local merchants, and community tools/directories are making it easier to spend BTC.
