You can encourage local businesses only by showing them what are the benefits of bitcoin and how simple it is to use it.
For this we would probably need a stable price first because why would they want to adopt in it's current state.

Its not that easy. I have tried it myself with the most professional methods possible. The people just laughed at me and said "Sir, do you have anything to buy at all?" "We are not interested in this ponzi scheme so go away with you fake information" Angry

They even started joking that I need to see a doctor to check my brain. Grin

It will take several more years to get adopted properly.

It will be difficult to really encourage local businesses to use bitcoin cause eventually we are just customers and not business advisors.
Somehow you have to get them to look up bitcoin for themselves something has to spark their interest about the options.

Yes exactly they wont easily trust someone especially consumers to just use bitcoin, it will be hard to encourage them because they were careful in every actions they make. if you know personally a friend who is a business owner, its good to start convincing him because you are not stranger he might listen.

Explain bitcoin and the way it works, and how can bitcoin can expand their customers . Telling some personal experiences with bitcoin will be great also, Well if you got some proofs it will be a great help.

Before you're could wanna for let them know about bitcoin or trying for tell them, please analyze your environment before and seeing how many the potential your environment about bitcoin payment, so you just not tell them a bullshit, supporting with the accurate data and may there will think for a twice accepting bitcoin.

Yes I agree with this but as a customer of said shop it's very difficult to educate the owner of the shop about bitcoin.
They will be looking crazy if I walk in there trying to explain bitcoin, they'd probably think I would try to sell them something.

This is the most hard thing in bitcoin community.How can we tell the other for using bitcoin especially for the merchant owner.When we wan to explain the advantage of bitcoin to them,they think wan we wan to sell something and in the end,they ignored us.

Indeed if you have some examples on what kind of things it can really help you, you can really let them see how it works.
I think that if they know its a currency but on the same time profitable in most cases, they will step in or get interested.

You can encourage local businesses to accept bitcoin by providing information to those local businesses.
For example you could hand out info flyers with information about bitcoin pros and cons for businesses and a link for more information. They have to get to know more about it before they will accept it.

That could be a way to encourage adoption but the truth is unless there are enough users with bitcoin knocking at their doors then is very unlikely that doing something like that could encourage adoption.

It is all about proper impartation of or knowledge about bitcoin and we have to educate them very precisely on what are the benefits that they can get if theycarw going to use bitcoin as a payment

We can encourage local businesses to accept Bitcoin by informing them what bitcoin is and how it can be productive for their business.
As a business owner money talks so make the money talk and they'll join within a second if they see alot of ask for bitcoin payment method.

We can simply say that its better for them because they can control their own money and they can in that same time make profit too so I think that is just very nice.

simply because it could make them more profitable, but that does not mean we have to push and force them to join the bitcoin, because it would be very depressing. just tell them about the benefits if they accept bitcoin, I'm sure they will be joined by adopting bitcoin happily

I think in my own opinion, we are not in the position of encouraging them to accept bitcoin, it is the function of government to do that because I know that no business man will want to go against any government law and as LOCAL as they are, they tend to avoid taking any risk of flouting a non-existent law. What I think we can do is to show them the benefits of BITCOIN and why it is in their best interest to accept and they are responsible for whatever follows.

I think even though the government banned the use bitcoin it would not deter a person to use bitcoin, yeah but maybe it would create a barrier to the store or business to accept bitcoin. because of course they are under government control

I also think that we should still not do this due to the fact that the bitcoin is still not far enough, I honestly hope that I can accept it as a business soon or later, if we want to encourage it we simply should make it more popular.

We can't really encourage local businesses maybe by spending more bitcoin etc so the prices circulate and it stays active.
But we need more bitcoin commercial and information spread out so that businesses could get a hold of this information much easier.

For now we can not encourage them because they are just few users who are using bitcoin if they know many people are using bitcoin in their country they can also accept bitcoin as payment like brazil that has 150 stores or more are accepting bitcoin locally in any local business.

Encouraging local businesses is not a thing for users of bitcoin to do, it will feel more like pressure cause you just want to use it.
They have to be informed via commercials for example and then they will find out about bitcoin and it's benefits.

Right, as they as want for know bitcoin just causing by their intention and not from the another people's advice and that's will not giving them pressure and i agree with it, and especially they will wanna for learning bitcoin caused by their intention.

I thought you did not need to push them. yeah I'm sure that one day many stores or local binsis will flock accept bitcoin. because they see the enthusiasm of many people using bitcoin, I'm sure sooner or later bitcoin will make them be interested. You do not need to force them to join

its true because for now, i think many store will be attract to receive bitcoin as their payment and bitcoin is really makes customer payment with easy and less fee of transaction. we can see that there is a third party that integrated with store online and used bitcoin as payment.

agree I think you do not need to push it to join and adopt a system of bitcoin. let them see the advantages and benefits of bitcoin. if they see it directly batapa great bitcoin and ease of shopping, I am very sure that you need not force him they would gladly adopt bitcoin

And this is the right way to encourage adoption, when I began on bitcoin no one needed to convince me of the great advantages of bitcoin I was able to see it by myself and after that I became hooked with bitcoin.
