Bitcoin Tuesday – Vitti Restaurant & Cocktails (Lugano) | Pay with BTC (verify & share!)
Welcome to Bitcoin Tuesday!
Every Tuesday, I feature a restaurant, café, or shop that — ideally — accepts Bitcoin in real life.
The goal? To show Bitcoin isn’t just for hodling — you can spend it around the world!
For Hive users, thanks to V4V, you can easily swap HIVE or HBD into Lightning-BTC and try paying directly at crypto-friendly places.

🌍 Crypto-Friendliness of Lugano — A Real Bitcoin City
Lugano has made significant strides toward everyday crypto adoption:
