Jodi was on the verge of tears.

I could hear the quivering in her voice, the frustration, the disbelief.

"Jason, this is fraud. I’m getting scammed”

She’d just lost exactly $4,562.27 to a chargeback. Visa sided with the cardholder.
The materials were bought. The labor was paid. The truck was fixed.
Then the money vanished—ripped from her bank account. And there was nothing she could do.

In today’s economy, if you want to stay in business, you’re expected to bow to the duopoly: Visa and Mastercard.

But what happens when they’re not on your side?

On the phone, Jodi asked me:

“So you’re telling me I can keep 97% of every transaction - of my money… until three months later when they decide to take 100% of it back!?”

Exactly that.
A scammer had used a stolen credit card. Paid over the phone. No real paper trail.
They got their truck repaired. Jodi got a $4k hole in her account.

Until bitcoin, if you wanted to accept digital payments, you had one option: trust Visa and hope you don’t get burned.

“That’s just the way it is,” is what I've seen payments professionals (like me) say—palms up, shoulders shrugged.

But that’s no longer the case.

Merchants no longer have to accept money they might not get to keep.
They can accept bitcoin—a digital payment that, once received, is theirs.

Final. Settled. Fraud-resistant.

No chargebacks. No middlemen. No “maybe.”

Bitcoin gives merchants their power back.
