It is an awesome thought to have Bitcoin in the marketplace but i dont think we will realistically see this anytime in the near future
I believe not everyone will be thinking the same. Anything can happen. No one have ever thought of this thing that Bitcoin will ever come into their lives but now things are right in front of you. There are likely chances that we may be able to see it in local business as well. And I’m very much positive in this aspect.

I am looking to help move BTC forward into our economy more and would like to get some suggestions on how we can get more retailers to accept BTC as a payment.  The best part about accepting BTC is that they do not have any threat of charge-back from the customer.  I am just looking for some more input before I start approaching some of these local retailers.

A precisce explanation is a must, a presenation with reading materials will be a good medium for a discussion

We must bring and make a whitepaper for proposal or a working product maybe? Little by little cryptocurrencies are being known and some above 40 years old is close minded on that technology but some middle aged are open and enjoying the ride. If this existing companies won't accept then we will start a new one right? and then grow from there. Imagine you've established that is open for cryptocurrencies and it is the first in town. You will have a good reputation and in the future, you can proudly present that you first pioneered the usage of crypto. That is when they don't listen to you, in my opinion I think they will embrace the technology instead of being deaf and blind about it.

I agree on your question. I am PRO on bitcoin in our industry and businesses. Encouraging local businesses to accept bitcoin as the part of transaction is difficult to do, because they have their own mindset. It depends on how they interpret your explanation. But, you must to explained on them how bitcoin works, and importance of bitcoin in having it on business. How bitcoin can improve and increase the income of that local businesses.

We will see it in the stores near us. We just have to wait for the right time for it as bitcoin still doesn't have a wide adoption for stores but for individual users there's a lot, we are so many in the market. In encouraging them, if explaining it for a couple of times are not enough then let them see the adoption increase of bitcoin. Let them see the price to keep on increasing so that they will be encouraged alone.

Of course we can do this but its not extremely easy to do this, its all about what company see in it and its also what they are doing.Some companies are marketing other factors that can make it not even exciting.
Probably we cannot encourage the local business to accept BTC. But a time will come when they themselves will start offering BTC. Everyone knows the worth of Bitcoin and no one can deny it. But this is not a one go process. This will certainly take time.
Absolutely right. The local business will themselves realize the importance of Bitcoins in near future.
But, if the international market start doing trading in Bitcoins, then there are very bright chances that local business market will follow their trend too.
The differences between local markets and international market come to action just based on the demand from their customers. I mean to say local Bitcoins are not thinking about accepting bitcoin payments because their customers are not emphasizing adopting bitcoin payments whereas international business are already doing with bitcoin payments because of their customer's demand.

When more number of customers of local business are adopting bitcoins then automatically those local businesses will realize the importance of adopting bitcoin to stand against international markets.

There is a way, if you have many friends and have huge following powers make a trend to put bitcoin as an option to one particular business establishments. Boom! Most businesses followed the demands of they're customers and if the clamor of the people will take the attention of the owner it would just be a good start. And if that business started to do that and accept bitcoin because of competitions other companies will surely be doing the same.

I've seen how social media affects most businesses the good way or the bad way. We might need to used it if we want to changed whatever our heart desires.

That would be a complex process since first of all the manager got to have the adequate knowledge about bitcoins to properly incorporate it to his business. Another thing to consider is the popularity of bitcoin in the neighborhood. No use implementing a system of if no one were to use it.

Right now only way of encouraging bitcoin in enterprise is in the arms of huge offline stores. Let that be a grocery, stationary, food court docket or anything at all. Usually tiny outlets stick to business strategies of large outlets. So this will stimulate the small scale enterprise to use bitcoin in their providers as an additional option.

I have one idea for the business by BTC that I expected in the near future I will do it.
I will open a stores serving snacks and beverages, stores will accept payment with BTC when paid and parallel to the money that the Government released.
We can disseminate BTC for people to understand and accept it as the current coin  Grin

Making businesses to accept bitcoin is not that effective at present, because if you calculate the users surrounding your locality the number might be less than five or ten. So a business with bitcoin acceptance won't profit at present, thinking of the future implementing at present is good.

Currently if your country has legalized the bitcoin or have given positive news regarding the bitcoin this will help the  local businesses to get the confidence of accepting the btc as a payment mode. In our country this is still unclear due to which business at present do no accept btc as a payment mode . Also explaining the bitcoin positives will help them understand more about it and accept the btc.


I told my merchants friends about the bitcoin and its advantages. Some of them have accepted bitcoin.

Our store https://bitpam.com/ accepts Bitcoin and we sell physical Bitcoin coins with free worldwide shipping  Grin

We hope that we can spread the word about these so people can collect them and share with friends!

Code BTC4U gives 10% off, hopefully this will encourage more businesses to accept BTC if people buy things with it  Smiley

Wow nice store you've got there and all costs $9.99 - $19.99 so every coin was discounted already. I thought that it is just all about ripple because the home page of your website says all about ripple. Anyway you've got some nice and interesting stuffs there and with a free shipping worldwide.

Thanks so much!   Smiley

Don't mention it man, it's my pleasure to see these type of websites and I know that you are still starting and I hope you the best for your business. And I want to see some more of you in the future because this is the reason why I'm loving to see people to get into business with bitcoin.

We can actually. Well not by directly encouraging them by asking them to accept Bitcoin but they may soon accept Bitcoin if they see people going in their stores asking if they accept Bitcoin as a mode of payment. Often Business owners will see these kind of events as some kind of opportunity to increase their income and also their reputation. And I guess that is the best encouragement they would get from every customer entering their premises.
This is a good opinion. Receiving bitcoin does not mean we are forcing others to use bitcoin in every transaction they make. Offering kindly can make people change their mind and end up receiving bitcoin. We as people who already know bitcoin have an obligation to be able to share our knowledge about bitcoin to others. Because then it will make the number of bitcoin users increasing by itself. I am quite optimistic some time ahead there will be a big change in the use of bitcoin, especially the number of places that can receive bitcoin as payment media will increase.
im thinking that better we change bitcoin into fiat first then paying them by fiat. well this thing is more convenient, but if you still insist to use bitcoin on paying them. i suggest you only with receipt like $50 or more
if its like $10 or $20 you loss a lot only with transaction fee. this isnt fair to buyer only though, not to seller. so choose whatever you wanted to and convenient to you.
