I would love to encourage people to accept cryptos as a payment option, but if I try to do it, I will be arrested by Police because bitcoin or any other cryptos are notified illegal tender in my country. Can you do something about it? No!

he can not do anything about it, but you can do something about it, only vote for candidates who are want to legalize bitcoin and not corrupt, dictators, and outdated ideas from Stone Age times.

We need the richest countries in the world to legalize bitcoin and if that happens the small countries will do the same thing, only then we can use bitcoin as a means of payments around the world without problems

I think you're wrong, not all people are willing to spend their Bitcoin because most people are just using it to make profits, instead of using it as what it should be (payment system). I know someone that owns an internet shop and a coffee shop, and both of his business accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash with a help of local payment processor and also an exchange available here in my country. But he said that there are only few people that really wants to pay using cryptocurrency. If we really want to see more shops to accept cryptocurrencies then people should be willing to spend them. But of course most people will still choose to just hold it and sell when the price went up.

It is like you invest without a fee and commissions. Grin

Charging payments can be possible in my country with cryptocurrency, but most people are uninformed about digital currencies. Especially the old generation. They say "I can not make a deposit if I can not see what I bought."

anybody who is accepting ETH as payment shows that they have no idea what cryptocurrencies are for! of course ETH has value but it is not meant to be used as a currency so receiving it as payment is foolish! it is a token that its whole purpose is to be used as a fuel for smart contracts.

there are hundreds of cryptocurrencies that are designed to work as a currency, if you want to use an altcoin then go use them instead.

Payment Gateway Allows Recurring Payments

It's good to see that one of the business that you encouraged to accept crypto's are now accepting. We don't have same experience, most of the business that I talked to, they weren't aware what bitcoin was or does it exists. Every time I buy my favorite DQ blizzard and other small stalls, I used to ask the cashier if they are accepting bitcoin but they have the same answers. At least, I've tried right? Not every business has the same point and belief to the tech, others are just scared of using a new tech and payment method.

"STAY IN THE DARK"

First of all its a true wonders that a barber shop which has not much banner for advertising them (since they have printed in a paper only) accepting bitcoin and ethereum,for now the fee is not a concern for small payments so we can encourage the retailers to make bitcoin as payment atleast in very few scale.

The community gets bigger and stronger not today but surely for someday.

We all want bitcoin to be globally adopted right, you want to be able to use your bitcoin as a currency to buy foodstuffs, goods or service in your local community then what are you doing to encourage that?

Don't just blame the community! Try to know why they are not able to help in the adoption process! Majority of them are legally bound like me!

I walked into my barbers shop yesterday then notice something was different (i took a closer look at what was printed on the A4 paper pasted on the notice board and it reads "We now accept Bitcoin & ETH as payment options" it went on to explain that ETH will be accepted for the $2 and below fees and bitcoin accepted for fees above that. It gave me joy because I was the one who introduced him to bitcoin few years back. As an act of encouragement I have promise to promote his business both online and in popular blockchain related gathering I attend.

That's really great when you see the growth of the seeds that you sow. I am sure the government of your country is not bothered about cryptos and hence they haven't yet passed any law which prohibits cryptocurrencies to be accepted in stores. That's the opportunity area for enthusiastic people like you to promote cryptos to the masses! Wish you all the best and I would love to look at the notice from your local barber shop. Would you mind posting a picture of it?

No one here can tell me that he/she hasn't sold anything before, so you have no excuse of not accepting bitcoin in exchange for what you sold be it your books, gadget or anything salable expect you never knew of bitcoin then.

Few of my previously sold gadget monetary value were received in cryptocurrency and i have come to realize if we want the world to take us seriously we have to act ourselves so I'm encouraging the service providers and others we have on forum to start accepting bitcoin, charity begins at home.

I am agree with your opinion. We are just small community who has no any power over big governments which have all resources for accepting new laws. Few years back everything was different and enjoyable. Everyone want to take profit from markets so no need to force this community.
