I would be pretty amazed and happy to see food for sale with bitcoin. There many online stores but almost never offline.
I buy food in person on pretty much a weekly basis with bitcoin at my local farmers' market. The stall I usually buy from had no idea what bitcoin was. I asked the family repeatedly over several months if I could pay in bitcoin, and eventually they obliged. They now accept I think about 8 different cryptocurrencies (although I continue to only use bitcoin), and there are two other stalls at the market which have started accepting bitcoin too. My usually stall tells me they now have about 5 customers each week (the stall market only runs one day a week), myself included, who pay in bitcoin.The first step to being able to pay for things in bitcoin is to create demand for it. You can't do this with huge corporations, but you can absolutely do it with small, independent retailers or merchants. If they don't know people want to pay in bitcoin, then they won't go to the effort of setting up a wallet and training staff on how to accept it. They want your business; it's in their own interests to facilitate you. I think too many people are passively just waiting for bitcoin to be accepted. Go out there and create demand for bitcoin payments, and you might be pleasantly surprised.
I only think the Sportsbet sponsor makes sense, honestly don't see financial institutions getting the most out of sponsoring football teams - seems counterproductive.
The English Premier League is the most widely watched sport in the world, is broadcast in almost every country and territory in the world, and has a potential audience of almost 5 billion people. It is a fantastic advertising tool for any company. This year, sponsors include airlines, car and tire companies, supermarkets, ISPs, as well as financial institutions.Yeah, I don't know that I have the patience to ask people about something for months. I tend to get annoyed by then. I get irritated with people quite quickly if they are narrow-minded or ignorant. I would probably get all upset.
I pretty much don't bring up crypto because I don't feel like getting into an argument with some idiot that knows nothing. I do totally agree with you, it is up to us to create a demand. My mother has asked me a few times to ask if a shop takes bitcoin because she knows I sometimes use it online. I was thinking I know they will say no but after reading what you said I would have to create my own demand for it. IF others join in then we are getting somewhere. I think once a few places offlines tart accepting that many others will. There is a local pc shop and they have miners GPU rigs displayed in the window and they should probably be the best bet to start with. I am quite surprised they do not acccept crypto by default. I do plan on running my own business and then I will accept crypto. I will accept any form of payment TBH. Hell I will even exchange what I sell for a service and barter like in the old days. A sale is a sale. Getting something instead of nothing is very welcome.
@Kyraishi Dude what the hell are you talking about? Do you live under a rock the last 20 years? Video games and consoles like playstation and nintendo and stuff have advertised in sports events since they began. When the first playstation came out they sponsored teams and had their logo all over the place.
