$LIVES now Accepted

Dear Bitcoin Community,

I am sharing an update on behalf of the Scuba Shop. As many of you know, we've built our operation around the principles of Bitcoin: sound money, freedom, and a laser-focused mission to convert all our proceeds directly into BTC. That hasn't changed one bit—Bitcoin remains at the heart of everything we do, and our ultimate goal is to stack as many sats as possible while offering unforgettable diving experiences to fellow Bitcoiners and ocean enthusiasts alike.

In the spirit of being good neighbors and fostering community growth on the island, we've decided to accept payments in $LIVES, the local token used by the nearby Infinita community. This decision comes from a place of solidarity with our Infinita friends, who are building something unique and vibrant right next door. By welcoming $LIVES, we're opening our doors to new customers and helping bridge connections in our shared tropical paradise—all while ensuring that any $LIVES received are converted to USD on a near same-day basis, which we then use to buy Bitcoin. This keeps our operations firmly aligned with our Bitcoin strategy, without holding or speculating on alternative tokens.

We understand the Bitcoin community's emphasis on sticking to BTC, and we share that view wholeheartedly. This decision is a practical step to support local innovation and generate more revenue that flows straight back into Bitcoin. Rest assured, our shop is and always will be a Bitcoin-first enterprise. Come dive with us, pay in $LIVES or BTC if you prefer, and let's continue stacking sats together under the Caribbean sun.

Remember, the sun orange pills itself daily, around 5:30 pm! -- see you around.

Best regards,
