Me and my friends go over to asking the staff every time we have to pay a bill somewhere at the checkout if we can pay with Bitcoin. Of course the answer is always no. We are much more concerned with raising awareness among the general public about cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin in particular. Because we often see that shortly after this question, employees tell their colleagues about this presence, and they will almost certainly do so at home.  A single question can reach dozens of people and Bitcoin is becoming more aware.

So: go out and invest those few seconds during each payment process to push the Bitcoin!
That could actually be a great help but still it is not necessary to ask this question everywhere you go or buy. You should still be wise upon asking because it may instead cause a bad impression for bitcoin and for its user. Some people may find it offending or confusing having the fact that there's no contact committed yet within that certain area. Although it may look bad for some, you can still keep on asking if bitcoin payments can be done in the sense of bringing awareness to other people and their businesses.

Sinbad Mixer: Mix Your BTC Quickly
That's really an interesting idea, to be honest, to ask if you can pay some bills or anything else using bitcoin. In that way they will take it as a consideration and they'll may add bitcoin payment after your suggestions.. Even if they didn't accept bitcoin as payment, they're at least know that there's people who wants that and they got that in their mind, that's obviously well help bitcoin to be spread quickly around people.

I agree with this subtle promotion campaign. So far i have only done it online. In a physical store if i don't see some sort of sticker or sign, it hasn't occurred to me to ask, but you might never know...

Might do this kind if thing. It can possibly boost the awareness of the sorroundings and can possibly make the people out of their curiousity. There’s also a chance that I might get talkback from the cashier or the operator because of their unawareness but it’s fine for me though. I will defintely put this on my new years bucketlist.
yeah specially if the manager is around,and most likely if couple of people do the same thing in the same store?there will be a chance that they may consider talking and looking about what is this Bitcoin and why people keep asking if they can pay using this.

You can pay using bitcoin but with online site, you can looking which one site accepted bitcoin as payment transaction and you can sent bitcoin for your payment, maybe many online site have support using bitcoin and altcoin as legal payment but you have check trusted site first before you make transaction and pay your bitcoin.

@BTCtalker3000 this is an excellent initiative and I would like you to do one more thing, try and make a list of all the places you have visited and asked this question and then send your different set of friends there and make sure they ask similar questions. Once the management sees that more and more people are inquiring about bitcoins then they’ll be compelled to introduce it, and with their introduction it’s adoption will spread to all their customers too.

I might do this aswell when I go to convenience store but it seems they will only implement it if fair amount of people demands to. we need to consider how they account their shop aswell and simply accepting bitcoin will more or less gives additional burden in which why most of the shop nowadays are reluctant of accepting new payment method unless they are getting sponsored.

I figure you are doing that in Germany (looking over your posting history). There seems to be a bunch of places there that do accept Bitcoin there (play around with https://coinmap.org/view/#/map/52.51732782/13.38885990/11, although I do  not know how accurate the information there is), so one day you’ll likely hit a place that accepts Bitcoin, and you will be left with the dilemma of whether to really payout in BTC then and there ...

The problem with those is that most are service providers and exchanges.
Even if you zoom out so you can see even the Tegel airport there are only a bunch of cafes and restaurants and at least one of them is no longer accepting crypto (or never was) like a cafe next to U-Bahn at Alexanderplatz
But, at the same time, fortunately, there are a lot of places that are not listed there as probably the owners have never heard of coinmap.

I've worked in Postdam for 2 years, so I managed to visit a few of those but never found a grocery store that was taking bitcoin.
Probably things have changed for the better but in all my travels I haven't yet found one.

Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoins
Once we start the New Year I propose myself to do this at least once in every store I get in. This is exactly how we can create adoption by the law of demand. If there is demand there should be offer. Wink
Once the store managers would find out about the demand of the customers to pay in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies they will certainly look into ways to accept that method of payment - no doubt about that, but we need enough people to do this.

In my city everywhere I only get the answer-No.
exactly the answer what im seeking, there are places of ignorant people that will straight up saying NO and being ignorant to what they don't know and this method simply won't work. But, its still useful ton raise awareness of people regarding bitcoin and potentially increase bitcoin adoption if we talked that way to a company or services that are in the field of technology.

That's right. Merchants who accepts btc as a payment is helping bitcoin to push its capability to grow on the coming years. We as an investors will also help to make the people adapt to this technology. So everytime we see someone accepting btc lets use their service even with a little amount.

Someone who wants to get paid with Bitcoin. Only the rich can think of it. Small trades can take payment with bitcoin. However, he will have to convert his bitcoins into dollars immediately. Because the price of bitcoin is still very unstable. In this case, the tradesmen must protect themselves.

this could be great, atleast you give them the confusion of the terms that they aren't aware of, I can say that some of the businesses now are really unto bitcoin, they are planning to add bitcoin as one of the mode of payment, it will be like whatsapp pay, gcash(local wallet) , alipay and etc. Many people will start to buy to someones store once they accept bitcoin.

The question of "whether here accepts payment by bitcoin" would be very strange if I asked every store in my country Indonesia.
Bitcoin in Indonesia is only known as a digital cryptocurrency currency that has a high voting value and according to them it would be very risky if applied to payments at stores, shopping centers and other places.
BItcoin in Indonesia still hasn't got clear regulations.
I even tried asking my friend who owns a restaurant, whether or not to accept payments using bitcoin. the answer is NO.
Because he doesn't want to take risks with bitcoin.
It is very difficult to implement and adopt bitcoin payments in countries that do not support Bitcoin.

I've seen same thread like this before. I really find it interesting asking people at the counter cause it's like a new idea to promote Bitcoin. However I don't think they will bother to research about it just because a single customer asked about it. If you're going to ask every shop you go to, that's a lot. But with the worker's point of view, it won't matter because only one customer asked about it. I'm not destroying the idea, I'm just saying other situation that could happen

I have actually tried to execute this plan! When I visited a car showroom to book my first car, I indeed asked this question while paying the booking amount! The cashier looked at me as if he is looking to an alien! It became very uncomfortable to me as I was about to pay a good amount as booking!

It's actually a good idea to make people intrigued about cryptos, but we need to take a great amount of caution before doing it, especially in those countries where bitcoin is banned or banking ban is on force! So my advice is not to go all out, rather see first and understand if there is no risk of doing it! Otherwise you may get unwanted attention!

There is trouble abrewing
Of course the answer is always no.

it mostly depends on where you live but the answer is not "always" no. for example a couple of months ago i was pleasantly surprised to see a shop that i didn't even expect was accepting bitcoin. unfortunately i don't carry around any bitcoin with me on my phone or anything so i couldn't pay with bitcoin but it was a good experience.
i even asked about their experience and they said most people only ask about what it is and they had only a couple of payments so far.
