I guess we also need a good advertisement so local businesses will got curious in bitcoin. If we have a good and professional advertisement that can hooked a lot of local businesses it will not going to be hard to accept bitcoin.

Like what ? Encourage local businesses to accept BTC ? So you expect a seller, after selling to you, to wait minutes just for him to get his payment and carry mobile phones in his pocket around ?

Lmao…funny. This is just a crazy idea…you go to the market to buy foodstuffs, and you be like “please madam, let me have your BTC address, and how much it cost?” 😁 lol. And you spend like 30 minutes sending and waiting for confirmation. You guys ain’t serious.

At the time of congestion, you can wait for confirmation of not 30 minutes, but several days. I think this is the main reason that the business does not want to take bitcoin. But when you buy a product, you can offer the seller to take bitcoin. Maybe he will agree

Curiosity of local business is not good enough to encourage local businesses to accept bitcoin. Maybe we need to give them some idea regarding the good side of owning bitcoin. On that time we need to become one sided for the sake of good marketing of bitcoin.

Yes advertising with local businesses is a good idea but it will cost some money. The best thing to do is to conduct some seminars but first make a survey on how many of them are really interested in bitcoin. And once you get a good number of people that are interested to know about bitcoin and improve their business, conduct that seminar.

If you own a local business or have a close person who runs one persuade him to accept bitcoin and promote that fact you will gain competitors' attention very quickly especially if you gain more clients.

As ChrisPop said, tell your close friends about it, mouth to mouth is the best way, use it and others will follow

I guess if all local Bitcoin seller companies from our Country will push the promotion of Bitcoin. We will have an easy life. In my case, our local Bitcoin seller is COINS.PH. So far so good. Now we can pay our Electricity, water bills, creditcard bills, phone plan bills and almost anything using Bitcoin.

Giving an explanation to many people about bitcoin is not a difficult job, but if it were to encourage people to use bitcoin in their business this would be a pretty difficult thing. The only sure way is we have to use bitcoin in the business. For example a restaurant business, assuming in that case then the restaurant should be able to accept bitcoin as one of its payment media. This is the fastest way if you want a business to adapt to btcoin, otherwise this way can also make more and more people asking what bitcoin. And in the end they will use bitcoin in every financial transaction every day. .

You should explain them the benefits of accepting Bitcoins as payment. Your transactions cannot be traced by government and so your income will be tax free.Payments once you got through bitcoin cannot be replaced to customers.You should explain these benefits

In addition to benefits, there are many negative factors.
Business is a risk. And business in which bitcoin will be used is a risk doubly. It repels businessmen.
Only the government can stimulate the business to take bitcoin. For example, if operations with the crypto-currency are exempt from taxes

It will take years before a local bussinesses will say "yes " to accept bitcoin another payment option. It will be a long road to walk before they approve bitcoin to accepted in every business.

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.

First,retailers should be explained about benefits of bitcoins.They must be explained that there is no charge back in bitcoin payment unlike paypal.Another problem for which retailers don't like to accept bitcoin payment is its volatile nature.But they should be said that bitcoin's price is increasing continuously on a long term basis.So their bitcoin income would grow giving them good returns.

For business to take bitcoin, it is necessary that the government also accepts the crypto currency as the official currency.
It is dangerous for businesses to take bitcoin because its price is highly variable.
It is very difficult to constantly recalculate the cost of an item in the equivalent of bitcoin.

In my experience, if your going to go one by one and try to introduce them to BTCitcoin and explain how it works in order for them to accept payments of BTC , it would be really a lengthy process and you'll stop doing it before you start so the best suggestion I could make is either by making a mini seminar wherein you invite them altogether and talk about it and even show some of the YouTube videos that well known speakers of community are in and they cover almost everything... And in cases of online local businesses, you could try to send them a support ticket regarding the matter and I've had luck that they answered, "were already reviewing BTCitcoin payments and will consider it for the future" .

I agree it is much better to encourage and advertise Bitcoin to people in a more passive way where we just need to continue our support to Bitcoin my using it as a daily transaction for them to know and see what Bitcoin really is. In this time we don't much need to tell to them to used Bitcoin rather we just need to make an effort to let them see the possibilities and the development a head to Bitcoin.

There are lots of new post, why bother to quote an old post? Please look at the date.

for us to encourage local businesses to accept bitcoin, we should educate them what is cryptocurrencies and what are the possitive opportunities that they may incurged if they adopt the platform of bitcoin.
upon knowing the pros of bitcoin to their businesses, they will understand why cryptocurrencies is the future mode of payment.

It will not work because for businesses to accept BTC, they must seen an active community of bitcoin user in the specific location which in general is not that much. Just by looking at those big merchants that support the whole world but still some of them didn't accepting bitcoin yet.

But you know the legalization of other countries is a big step into recognition. Soon businesses will automatically adapt bitcoin without us encouraging them.

Forsooth, in order fo us to encourage the local business to use bitcoin upon their transction is we must persuade them on what will be the impact of bitcoin in their business. We should introduce to them what is the purpose of it and how it is being used. We could encourage them by just telling them the good opportunities that they will get from it.
