We can't really blame business owners that are not bitcoin enthusiasts themselves. Even those that are, maybe they are still waiting for signals from the consumers, if they even have cryptos.

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 operate more on the informal economy, would you really get in trouble for accepting payment in anything else except fiat? Can you accept foreign currencies? Coz if yes, it'll be hypocritical of them.

First of all, I must commend your effort in trying to convince people to adopt and use bitcoin. If we all follow what you do, in no time bitcoin will be used by shops and companies all across the globe. We all should talk to shops and businesses close to us and let them know the importance and benefit of accepting bitcoin as a means of payment. The current bitcoin community is huge, imagine if each and everyone of us is able to convince at least two persons who own a shop or business around where we stay to use bitcoin, in no distant time we would be able to convince so many people into the adopting bitcoin usage. Nice one, keep the good work goind and we all should do the same.

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? 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.
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.
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 appreciate what you do, but the real problem is always a scourge in every level of difficulty. in my country, it is very difficult to be true, because until now bitcoin or crypto is still not legalized. so this is the main factor. As for the other things, because of the weak selling value in the market, this lowers many concerns for beginners or new investors

I agree with you. We ourselves should contribute to the promotion of bitcoin to the masses. If we tell our friends about bitcoin, maybe they will tell someone else. And some of them who have their own business may also think about accepting payment in cryptocurrency. That's great.


Im been doing this for a quite while now, but bitcoin reputation in our country are negative because of the wrong news of media, but still i am trying to explain to my friends and relatives that using bitcoin is easy and even profitable, I also told some of my friends that i bought my own pc  or desktop using bitcoin. Sadly only few of them are serious to learn.

- Why do you try to explain to others about bitcoin? Believe me, it really doesn't bring too much meaning and efficiency, this explanation only makes people more suspicious of bitcoin, even suspecting you're a fraud because almost everyone has no concept of making money online and they are always influenced by government and media, they believe the information that governments and newspapers say, they do not believe what we say. So we don't need to do anything, it's a good way to contribute to bitcoin, advertising and explaining too much just making stories about bitcoin become more complicated

A small move like introducing bitcoin to your friends can be a big help, we should really help this market up.
Always think that a small rise in the market, is also are rise so if the market succeeds we can also succeed but if we continue to give false news or feed people with the wrong person, I think it will be hard for us to make a new peak. Let's not just watch the market, start to invest, invite more people, and become a successful investors.

In time, they will understand what you're talking about.
I was hesitant at first also upon hearing such digital currency way way back.
Many people have negative connotation when you talk crypto because they have read articles of hacking, stolen funds, etc.
And they didn't know nothing about why those bad circumstances happened.
They will understand it on their own. Hard to push somebody to believe you.
Let them ask you first and not the other way around. That strategy might be effective.
It is not easy to explain to others about crypto and its advantages because of negative FUD on the media. Media manipulates the news for their own sake of their advantage. If others believe to this lies blindly then it is meaningless to explain the same things over and over to people around me. Just my 2 cents.

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.
something big will definitely start with a small action, one of them is by buying and selling using bitcoin at the lower level and with a small value. if all are used to it and the public already knows more about bitcoin then in the future it will likely create a stability in buying and selling. so let's together do the best even on a small scale.

I also made a small speech at a business conference about cryptocurrencies. If this is what we can do then spreading word of mouth is the only option for us. I usually talk to my classmates about cryptos but they have misconception between crypto and network marketing. Explaining this can be a pain but this worths to spend your time explaining to others.

I'm doing what I can but it's not easy to convince people that Bitcoin is something good.
Many of them are very skeptic because of negative articles in the media or negative public statements from the central bank for example.
I still trying my best, sharing news about btc on social media, online blogs and forums, talking with my friends.
It seems that for the most of my friends bitcoin is to complicate or they don't trust it.

As of now we need to do the best to circulate the cryptocurrencies. Adoption keeps increasing when users get more access to use it as a currency. To me, the growth needs to start from the base. Every small scale business people who are cryptocurrency users need to accept bitcoin, which is the one that makes the community grow.
Exactly, we need to do our best to circulate carpets in the world. Crypto will need us to grow more in the future, promoting it in business will help so much! For example, by creating some online or even offline project which accepts crypto as an addition payment, we help crypto to gain more value and also we help the community to be more bigger by spreading our project news.


Well if it's within the crypto community then i don't think there'll be any problems with accepting and paying through btc. The challenge is how to make non users and non believers to do the same. With all the negative reports and news circulated from last year, bitcoin's image hasn't been pretty and people are reluctant. I guess the community should start to first try and be louder in making people understand that btc can be used.

Well done for introducing Bitcoin to a friend who is finally accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment for services he render. This is what every cryptocurrency user must adopt. Bitcoin adoption cannot increase out of nothing. Users of Bitcoin must create more awareness to the public and as a good sign, initiate the payment of Bitcoin into our businesses. This is what will trigger others to adopt Bitcoin.

Already we have a duty towards encryption as a whole
But in community society we are still at the beginning of the road
But at least I can spread the idea of crypto between family and friends
Then we will be a larger team that can exert greater pressure to adopt crypto .

This is a very laudable idea which when we, I mean crypto enthusiasts begin to practice, can contribute to what we all anticipate to happen. It is not very easy in so many countries because of various reasons which include lack of adequate information on digital currency but at least, we can all start from a point.

I agree with it and it's good to know that you a person that you encouraged to adopt the bitcoin is currently enjoying it. It will just really going to depend on the person if he/she's going to accept, enjoy, or etc the bitcoin but what we can really be sure is bitcoin will really going to be part of our future and adopting it now is one of the best advantage that we can do.

Keep educating the people around your surroundings, take seminars etc so that they can become aware about the crypto currencies and how does it functions, how can they buy/sell, their advantage and disadvantage etc. The more you indulge with people , more and more will come through word of mouth and start buying.

Yes, I agree, but educating beginners who already know to develop and understand bitcoin will be easier and more professional, holding geratis seminars from city to city will be more effective in introducing crypto entirely from buying, selling, profit and loss, and how Bitcoin works , good and true for those who are new.
why I agree with this seminar, because there are many great people in it and experts who will educate them by providing information or something else that will be easier for them to digest and understand.
