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.

Glad to here about crypto adoption with local shops in your country and yes definitely even we are a smaller community considering governments I believe as users of Bitcoin and other altcoins we can do a considerable change to increase the adoption rate at least in on line and local stores by requesting to allow crypto payment facilities as customers and the chance to consider our voice is much higher specially in a period that businesses say "customers are kings" but for this to happen not few people but each and every individual should have the feeling to help the crypto world

Am really trying to see that happen. i have a shop and it is boldly written there{ pay in bitcoin and ethereum} and so far just two has paid in bitcoin and one person in ethereum .

You doing great, some scarify have to be made for success to be achieved. You might not be recognized globally but if you can achieve that recognition in your local community you have contributed positively towards the success of the use of bitcoin as a currency.

I totally agree, if we really want more people and more growth we cant simply wait and do nothing

that’s why I became somehow a blockchain evangelist and basically spreading the word and telling friends about it

also explaining how it works and how it compares with the old traditional financial system

Indeed, bitcoin won't be adopted automatically without peoples themselves are using it as a payment.
Other thing that makes bitcoin adopted is the hype, like at the end of 2017, peoples were come to cryptocurrency because the value were very high.

If a barber can implement bitcoin payment in his shop then what are we waiting for ? I build rigs for people both gaming rigs and mining rigs and guess what? I prefer payment in bitcoin and so far so good ,I think if we really want bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general to succeed further we have to start implementing them in our businesses too ,it helps and before we know it bitcoin will gain stronger community

yes I agree with your statement, many out there people just stay quiet but want the price of bitcoin to always be high and keep rising. so if you want bitcoin to remain stable and keep rising you should often promote bitcoin to others.

Now it's time to use bitcoin to trade or travel to a country that legalizes bitcoin, so the bitcoin movement gets faster.
If all bitcoin users use it simultaneously I'm sure the price of bitcoin will go up, because the issue in the bitcoin market will be positive and more and more buyers of bitcoin. The more you buy, the price will definitely go up.

The more you show how to use it and allow people to see the benefits will attract them to buy as well, there's a lots of movements that can be process
you can accept bitcoin as a payment or try those online market who already cater bitcoin and make the circulations to be noticed by many people around the world, no need to wait but we need to act.

Doing something that will bring more exposures for bitcoin definitely needs to start now.

I once suggested to people and entrepreneurs in my country, to adopt Bitcoin and Ethereum as a payment system in the company, in every payment transaction with crypto, it's already been running and some are still in the stage of further development. and there are still many who are doubtful because this year's crypto is not improving so hopefully crypto will be better in the future. That's what I can work on crypto.

In our country crypto has been quite fully adopted as i have found out lately that in my near locality, there is a gas station that already accepts Bitcoin as a payment option. Thus, i am quite optimistic about the future of crypto here in our country. I do always promote through social media thru my friends & acquintances about cryptocurrency and sometimes they do ask me how to earn money through this new technology and i am always open to give advises to them as well.

Both ETH and BTC have huge fees from time to time and I can't in good faith recommend them to anyone.
I made the mistake of recommending BCH to merchants, but the hash war destroyed its stability, too.

but that is the reality, everyone already knows that not only is Bitcoin present in digital currency, there are others, bitcoin must think hard to get back up. don't just rely on the market.

Many people are already using bitcoin and eth but the majority are still seeing it as a store of value. Unless this changes then the numbers of transactions will probably stay low for some time to come.

To increase the popularity of bitcoin throughout the world, we must use bitcoin for trade and investment.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that in the future will definitely increase its use, so propaganda about bitcoin should never stop.
Of course, by playing an active role the profits will be even greater, along with the increasing price of bitcoin.

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!

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!

Yes, Crypto is illegal in our country too. We can't talk about crypto in public! Though the government hasn't banned yet but they discourage to deal cryptocurrency and talking openly! We use "botoch" word to describe bitcoin in public, So, how can we encourage people to spread and involve into it? So, in our country, every crypto people are bounded!

you need to create a messaging group and invite your friends or other people within your country . talk about btc adoption and make your own plan . if all your groupmates agree then thats the time to make a real organization . make some shirts and banners about btc and why it must be adopted . final step is to rally in front of the governments office so that they will hear your voice and opinions . thats effective though , you better try it out .

I agree with those comments saying that the community getting bigger and stronger day by day and we will surely have more impact in future. Also it’s weird to me that there is still alot of people out there who have no idea about what the cryptocurrency is. I know the impact is kinda small but i think we can at least try to do something to spread some awareness about bitcoin.

indeed it's true because by storing them they can get the benefits they want, so most of them now are holding rather than making transactions

Yes, that's the best options to do while we're still not having more demands nowadays with bitcoin and other crypto coins. Sharing the ideas how crypto works in our lives can help spreading good news, and don't ever be discourage even if other individuals was having negative perceptions against btc. We can't blame those people, because they've been feed by fake news and fuds.

Donating 10% to charity

Quote from: pawanjain on January 22, 2019, 11:55:09 AM

It's quite true that we have to start the change ourselves. Once we start to accept cryptocurrency and the market grows then adoption of cryptocurrency will grow enormously.
If I had a restaurant or a store I would definitely have accepted BTC and ETH as payment options. I would also have promoted it online.
This is how bitcoin will grow in the future if bitcoin supporters encourage on using BTC as payment method. I believe this will happen some day or the other.

This is precisely what i believe is stopping the wide adoption of Bitcoin besides probably volatility.

People seeing it as a payment method will start to ask questions not only to themselves but to others and talk about it more. Also the ones who already know the currency as a mean of payment could have an easier life using them.

Another interesting aspect is that getting paid in Bitcoin after transforming from the fiat currency the company uses would be a lot easier.

good idea for cryptocurrency crowds to know about this crypto but will not prevent it from the government if they know that it's using cryptocurrency. it's a fun feeling to talk about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency especially if they know crypto and you'll get ideas about it.

most of the people in this world don't know about what is cryptocurrency so don't think all the words talk about cryptocurrency just do your work and learn by yourself then educated others what is the cryptocurrency and why we need it which will include the number of people using that cryptocurrencies.
