learn from personal experience when I, teach on my sister's bitcoin transactions.

that is, telling him to join this forum to find basic info from bitcoin itself, after understanding it teaches very sensitive things to send / receive btc to fellow users
that's very basic in my opinion, the rest of what you say
I will do in the future , and I'm grateful that now my sister understands more about finding coins that can potentially benefit in the short term than me

Honestly? I have been in cyrpto longer than most people have been and I am still having a bit of hard time when I am getting paid or paying someone. It’s always a bit of a difficult job because I know that one mistake and I would lose all of my money. It’s easier to be afraid and right than being calm but wrong.

So, I would say that keep that panic mode on at all times when you are dealing with crypto transactions, not during investments though because panic could make you lose money with bad investment decisions, only during transactions. That would make sure that you are doing the right thing at least and that’s why it matters so much.

Saving your funds than earnings more important. If you haven't been using any gateway to receive payment then try to use hardware wallets. It's good practice for crypto and your funds are fully secure. You can't teach your guy in a single day. Teach day by day and chapter by chapter. It's very important to learn double spending scams, so you won't have to lose. For that just make sure the transaction got 1 confirmation at least. So you are in a safe zone.

It won't take so long if the only purpose is to teach his employees how to receive and store securely the funds which I think is the only part they need to learn. For as long as they are interested to learn and could make their job well, they should have to do it. But of course, it was easier to hire people that also have some knowledge in crypto for they are possibly aware of the risk in handling transactions otherwise, OP will spend his time the whole day, unrested just to monitor the whole transactions every day.

It's very unlikely that you would be able to teach cryptocurrency like it was some course in college. Its a growing field and it changes as time goes on as per improvements. Not to mention @OP, your personal knowledge and that is relative to every individual including myself, our knowledge on cryptos is limited. You can't teach and expect them to understand or know what you know all at once or as a group. As much as you would organise classes, you can encourage them to make there own research and also ask questions when confused.
About teaching them, start with the basics. What is Bitcoin? A few history about it, why it was developed, what it's hoped to archive l, how to use it and stuffs like that.

So it was your employee who argues with you about btc but how come when they are only an employee and aren't they scared that they might get fired out for that attitude? In your other thread, I can see that your employee there already knows how to use a btc. Did you replace that employee?

Okay, you can explain btc again to all of your employees and you should tell them to research on their own too as that can save you time explaining btc further. If they still can't understand it then that may be the time to replace them with a more knowledgeable worker or those who already have an existing knowledge in bitcoin. You can put it as one your qualifications.

Good Day fellow Bitcoiners Kiss

.
I am an entrepreneur and also a Bitcoiner, I have two business which am running and in this two businessI accept Bitcoin as a means of payment . I am using Exodus wallet to receive payment.
When ever a customer desires to pay in Bitcoin/crypto in my absence, I am usually contacted by my employees. I have explained some few details on how to receive payment from customers in crypto but I think they still find that means of payment as not being convincing, so I want to take out time to teach them Bitcoin, advantage, users, how to receive and how to send Bitcoin. I want to give them a full knowledge about Bitcoin. My request from this forum is to give me more hints on other things I must lecture them on concerning 😟 Bitcoin and how to receive payment from customers.

Thanks, Detritus.

first of all your employees need to understand the instructions you give them, about confirming the transaction so they know if the payment has been made, giving the customer a valid Bitcoin address and asking them to send the correct amount, and of course teaching them in practice. is the best way about what bitcoin is, and how its transaction system is very different from paper money

for employees that just take payments.. they dont need the jargon explained. they just need to know how to acept payment

As a business owner he is not just concern about teaching his workers how to accept payment with bitcoin but, also want to make the step of teaching them what the blockchain is in general, that what makes him different from the bankers.
He is using every means possible to train and educate everyone around him about bitcoin (crypto currency in General) and i think that's a bold step taken by him.
I understand it might cost him time, but its worth it with the knowledge he is going to gather here, he can succeed in making all his workers understand the process and, save them future errors.

Isn't it that if they are just processing payments, then you just need to teach them how to do it like how you teach them how to use POS? They do not need the nitty gritty details of bitcoin, just how to process the payment and what to do in case transactions get stuck. At least as an employee, that is just what they need to learn.

But of course, if you want them to have knowledge about bitcoin so that they can share it with your customers, then they should start with the basics of bitcoin: transactions, fees, confirmation time, mining, etc.

The OP should have done that before hiring employees if the OP made transactions via bitcoin. Because usually before recruiting employees we look for someone who has already mastered what we need to help us. But that's not a problem, now the OP just needs to slowly teach them to transact directly with bitcoin. For the time being, they just need to understand how to transact, because that's what they need quickly. In the future, the OP can teach more about bitcoin.

Here you have some great contribution to running a business using Bitcoin in the different levels. One is to use Bitcoin as a means of transaction and the other is to create efficient employer to run your business. On the one hand you are successful in running your business and on the other you have great involved in the development of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. Those who did not know about Bitcoin now they will know about it and in the future those employees will also be able to play a role in the development of Bitcoin.

Yes this is like a power that is interconnected, humans and bitcoin will become easier in the future. Maybe the initial start will feel so heavy but when you get used to it you will feel the ease that can be obtained by using bitcoin.

It cant really be pertained as some sort of energy that flows but rather just ending up on being a currency although its decentralized but still on the same concept or utility just like we do have in fiat but on having

those notable differences which it is really something that make the community been interested specially into its decentralized factor plus money making opportunity due to volatileness.
Speaking about making it as a salary into your employees or having that payment option then it would really be that understandable that you would be needing
to make them aware about it even with just with the basics.

That was the case OP for this become hard to non-techy people and even you will teach your employee but they never put it their mind and are still afraid to do it, time will just be wasted. I think the best thing to do is to find at least 2 people who could carry such a task and let them work under your supervision until the time has come they can manage to do it alone. As you are just starting accepting Bitcoin and for sure most users are not also know how to transact as well. This is really a hard time for you but I know this will soon get changed once these users and your crew are already familiar with how to do this.

I remember you topic where you said that you are accepting bitcoin for your business and just like many other people who send messages on that topic I was thinking about the challenges of accepting bitcoin for a company and the first thing is to know how to use bitcoin for the people who are responsible for the company for example for you if you have some employees for the business to have to start teaching them about how a bitcoin transaction works, at least they have to know the basics, however, the positive point for them is to gain knowledge in the same time when they are working for you.

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.

I don't think you need to go in-depth that much, especially if they're just employees that accept the payment. Probably make a separate kind of seminar of sorts if you want to fully teach them about Bitcoin, but if it's just payment, then create/adopt a simplified method like qr scanning so that your employees have a much easier time (same as customers), as well as future employees. No need to overcomplicate it but as I said, you can teach them on a different occassion.

It's not like they know what fiat is at it's core tbf, they probably just know it's adopted and accepted globally.

I guess there are lot of tutorials present on YouTube regarding how to accept or send Bitcoins.
This isn’t tough to be honest. A 13 year old boy can do this if instructed properly.
Your employees need to understand the instructions that you give them regarding accepting the Bitcoins more carefully.
It would be better if you make them understand about Blockchain at first and then into more depth regarding crypto payments.
Great to know that you are accepting payment in Bitcoins, as this will make wider variety of people to do payments to you.

When life gets hard BUY Bitcoin!

Quote from: KennyR on September 24, 2022, 07:17:24 PM

For now you can provide them the details of your wallet address and show them how the fund received can be verified even without the key to access the wallet. So, in your absence they can just check the number of confirmation and let the customers continue their wallet.

The change it have made around the world through the innovation can be taught. Maybe they can get interested and if they request to know about investment and the ways followed, you can teach them later.

Better print the QR Code. I know someone who have business in my country who accepts Bitcoin and the buyer will just scan the QR Code. It also have steps on how to install the wallet. It also accepts other currency that is available in their wallet or an app. This app probably only in our country but it accepts Crypto and can be use in businesses. If there is an mobile app that is much easier to access and use better use it. So it can be explain easily to the employee. Though giving guide or video tutorials for the staff can also help so they can rewarch it to study.

I receive payment directly to the exodus wallet I created for my business.

Exodus wouldn't be my first choice, but that's your decision. If you only accept Bitcoin, it makes more sense to use a Bitcoin-only wallet rather than Exodus, a multi-currency app.

There are very few things that your employees need to know if you think about it.
They need to provide the customer with a valid Bitcoin address and ask them to send the correct amount. Then they need to ensure that the coins were sent and received on the shop's end. If you are reusing the same address, it's even easier and they won't have to generate new addresses. When you have time or when you are in the shop, you can change that address and give them a new one every day or once per week.

How do you handle unconfirmed transactions? Let's say I am a customer looking to buy something with bitcoin. Are you going to make me wait until the transaction gets confirmed on the blockchain or what exactly happens?

Start with everything you know. If you understand enough what you want from your employees, show them the simplest example of what their responsibilities are. Practice is always the best lesson. Learning fully bitcoin, in my opinion, is a completely different task. It also comes from the interest of your employees, whether they need this knowledge or not.
For you, the moment of performing the work that you require should definitely be important; everything else should not lie only on your shoulders. Employee initiative will always be the best assistant.
