Bitcoin Tuesday – Don Mario Lounge, Calabar | Pay with BTC in Real Life

---

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.

💡 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.
