Ben Justman grows grapes at North America's highest altitude winery, makes natural low-additive wine, and sells almost exclusively to Bitcoiners — 30-50% of his sales in Bitcoin itself. He didn't plan it that way. It just happened organically, and the story of how is one of the best real-world examples of Bitcoin circular economy you'll hear.

Keith and Ben dig into how Peony Lane went from farmers markets to a 100% online, Bitcoin-native direct-to-consumer business, why Bitcoiners are disproportionately his best customers, and what it actually looks like to run a business on a Bitcoin standard — including the cash flow realities most people don't talk about.

They also get into the bigger picture: what Square's Bitcoin integration means for small businesses, why Steak 'n Shake's Bitcoin success is a blueprint, and why Ben argues that supporting Bitcoiner businesses in fiat still matters more than most people think.

What you'll learn:

How a Colorado winery accidentally became a Bitcoin business
Why Bitcoiners make the best long-term customers (and why they're "thirsty to pay in Bitcoin")
The honest cash flow reality of running a business on a Bitcoin standard
Why Square's Bitcoin integration is a bigger deal than people realize
How to actually orange pill a business (hint: become their best customer first)
