My Story


In 2014 together with my girlfriend we decided to open street food business in London. Soon after we realised that we gonna have a new member of family. My gf was pregnant ! 20140329_170835.jpg

Happy happy


We decided to do burgers - bourbon steamed burgers. Propably few of you have heard of us.
We were accepting dogecoins alongside with bitcoins.
Our first days of business were so exciting.

.

I have realised that acceptimg crypto wasnt only as a payment method but great way to promote business.

We expanded and open more locations including 2 on Camden Market.
As soonest i got there i started coinvincing other food vendors to accept btc/doge.
Most of them just laughed over it (their problem - now as im still friends with many - regret not listening to me) but i maanaged to get on board 2 businesses. My good friend listened to my advice and started accepting btc/doge/ltc and other one btc/doge.

Recently our family got bigger - its a motivation boost for me now to promote myself as an Tattoo Artist and Promote Bitcoin acceptance for small businesses. I tell my friends constantly to rethink accepting btc & other crypto as a form of payment. I want my kids to live in Btc friendly world. Can You help me to do it?
