In this episode of The Bitcoin Business Podcast, Brandon Karpeles sits down with Jason Keil, founder of Polaris Payments and Bitcoin Payments Advisor, to break down the real problems merchants face inside the legacy payments industry.After 15 years in merchant services, Jason has seen it all — the fraud, the fees, the fax-based chargebacks (yes, still happening in 2025), and the constant stress merchants endure from an industry designed to benefit banks, not business owners.Jason explains how discovering Bitcoin completely changed his business and personal life. He shifted Polaris onto a full Bitcoin standard, now helping merchants accept Bitcoin for real goods and services, remove chargeback risk, and instantly settle payments without intermediaries.They dig into:Why chargebacks are destroying small businessesHow inflation, not competition, is the real threat to merchantsThe insanity of banks still requiring fax machines for disputesWhy Bitcoin is the most conservative financial tool merchants can adoptHow Jason moved from real estate investing to living fully on BitcoinWhat business owners are actually looking for when it comes to Bitcoin paymentsHow Bitcoin Payments Advisor is helping companies make the transitionJason’s story highlights why Bitcoin isn’t speculative — it’s survival for the modern small business.Connect with Jason on X: https://twitter.com/JasonKeilPolaris Payments: https://polarispayments.comBitcoin Payments Advisor: https://bitcoinpaymentsadvisor.comBitcoin Well is the leading platform for buying and selling Bitcoin in Canada and the US.
