We can encourage local businesses to accept btc by information local businesses about what bitcoin is and how it will profit them aswell as the people if we all use it.
They have to see the advantages before actually accepting it cause it's all about the money.

the advantages are their priority and actually they're only seeking for profit so if bitcoin was not good enough to make an additional profit for them most likeley they will not accepting it,the only way to encourage those local businesses to accept bitcoin is by making it popular around them so they will get into it automatically

Don't encourage them just let them decide by themselves with no pressure. We have to get bitcoin more known trough commercials etc.
If they see it trough ads they will look it up by their free will and they will see all the benefits and people using it so it will be very attractive.

Indeed don't put any of the pressure on them and let them decide for themselves if you do this then it's more likely for them to actually accept bitcoin and look more into it than when you pressure them to really check it out etc.

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.

just tell to the local businesses shops the qualities about
the bitcoin . and tell them about its unlimited saving of
money without taxation . they will surely starts to accept
bitcoin .

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.

Well in my own opinion, if a business man is going to try out with bitcoins it doesn't mean that you are going to fight against the local government.

Just tell them that don't worry for this is not an illegal act or activities instead this is a real currency that they are going to benefit in the future.

By simply explaining them basic background in bitcoin would suffice.

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.

yeah true what you say. You do not need to be engaged in encouraging and forcing them to use bitcoin. I'm sure one day they will be keen to accept bitcoin. This is just about the time bitcoin is growing each time. we just have to wait many local businesses will accept bitcoin later. I am sure of it

That does not make much sense, who is going to pay for those commercial that you speak of? The investors, users of bitcoin, the developers, the exchanges?

The commercials are supposed to be paid by the businesses accepting bitcoin because if they start doing business with bitcoin they would probably need bitcoin customers and for getting bitcoin customers they would probably need to promote their business combined with bitcoin.

But unless the business is bitcoin related then bitcoin will not get a lot of exposure as it will be mentioned in passing with the other payment methods accepted in the business.

Thats actually right, if the business is not bitcoin related then it might get customers but bitcoin wont get much out of that because that would only be a success for that particular business but nothing good for bitcoin, in terms of bitcoin to get something out of it the business must be related to bitcoin somehow, just payments in bitcoin wont make a big difference.

There are only 2 types of business that have the muscle to do this exchanges and bitcoin casinos, but for them there is not a lot of reasons to do so, after all why spend so much money in untargeted ads when they can obtain better results with targeted ads?

if you want find a bitcoin accepting shops in your local then tell your story of successful buisiness and earning in bitcoin . in this way local businesses and shop holder will take interest in your matter .

Your success story or bitcoin earnings can only impress an individual to come towards bitcoin but the case is not the same with a business because in a business bitcoin wont be used as it is used by an individual, they cannot hold the coins nor they can be trading them on exchanges but they will just have to keep running their business with it which would need further considerations.

I think it is not that easy. There are lots of things to consider. Besides if a shop is to implement bitcoin,the owner of the shop have to make sure that there is an internet access in his place, and had his net open to the customers, if he needs to encrypt it and give password to the user who wants to pay with bitcoin, it will sure delay the transaction. Then they need to scan send and wait for the confirmation. we all know confirmation takes sometime and it is not practical for a store to make customer wait for 10 to 30 min to finish the transaction.

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.

It can happen if the owners of local shops and markets are educated at least to know about to run computer and will have knowledge of English language. In my area most of shop keepers are uneducated and do not speak English language. so in my place only super markets can start bitcoin.

Yes its because they would surely select their markets and if there are only few of their neighbors or possible prospect are using this coin i don't think they would accept bitcoins for that scenario, so we can't convinced them literaly if their people are not bitcoin users, so for now i think bitcoins need to grow for mor first and make a great noise so it will reach to those people who doesn't know about it, and maybe if that happen we can really see the fast growing of business acceptance with bitcoins.

Right now I don’t think there’s is much that we can do in order to encourage adoption, adoption should be organic that way the growth will be a real growth on the user base of bitcoin and not some kind of fad.

We can encourage local businesses to accept btc by giving local businesses more information about bitcoin so they know the benefits.
Also prices HAVE to stay stable before locals will even consider accepting it else it will not be worth it for them.

Stable price would be a curse for bitcoin users as if the price of bitcoins starts being stable no one would be able to earn profits by holding their coins while almost every bitcoin users has holding right now, so if the price starts being stable there would be less investments in bitcoin.

Yes you are right, if It be looked from viewpoint as traders but bitcoin's high fluctuation will become scary, for users who use bitcoins for transaction daily on real life are like local stores. They never use bitcoins for payment method on their local business.

For me it seems that business are like consumers and they want something. If bitcoin becomes more popular they will more likely start informing themself about itcoin.
That could be the start of a new era.
