Before telling him what btc is ,you should him the price graph.Tell him about its unstable price nature and how much he can earn profit.

That could be right. Although the bitcoin price is volatile, the price will rise in the long term. So if you hold long, you will make money.

While its not bad to achieve both the local businesses to also accept Bitcoin, the word about bitcoin may just be spread widely if its also used and accepted widely by online users to huge auction and ecommerce sites such as Amazon and the likes. With it being used online, we need not to encourage local business but they may initiate by themselves.

In a few years, when there are a few million people use the bitcoin, the bitcoin price will be many times more.

For now i think many bitcoin users and traders and devs are planning how to adopt bitcoin more to accept almost all countries locally in many stores..
So better to wait for now.. and see what will happen in the future.. and im thinking it will happen in the future.. like in brazil..

I always round up when paying with btc. I think an extra few cents/dollars on top of the bill is always a good experience for the business, and doubly so if the price rises afterwards.

If the business is sending money to other country.
Than I think is good to tell them that Bitcoin is a solution because is faster and cheaper.

I think this is not a solution. Because BTC wallets can send Bitcoin directly to other BTC wallets so I dont know why money senders needs BTC for there businesses? In fact BTC's convenience can weaken their sales

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.

i think that you should tell base things like how it is easy to send payment and how it is easy is to get payment, and i am sure that they will be interested

Well, it depends on you, if you are the boss of your business that way, it would be very easy, you just need to teach your subordinates about bitcoin and how it works, then pay them with bitcoin, and bitcoin make them produce for you. if you make a good strategy for your business, I think it would be very easy

Nice topic if you want to encourage people to accept bitcoin for there business i think you must talk and teach him how to used it. Or open bitcoin in your places go to your mayor and suggest that bitcoin can use as payment to local business because bitcoin is easy to used.

I think one of the ways to let people know about it is through schools. Since most of the household in the neighborhood has students then may be you can hold a seminar in those schools. Talk about the advantages of bitcoin and how it can help them and potentially profit from it when they use it. Then supplement some videos or notes for further understanding. You can also implement a business wherein you accept bitcoin as payment and some freebies or promos may be when they use it because people are willing to try something new when they wanted to get something for free or for a discount. If at first your customers pay you cash, give them some flyers about bitcoin so that the next time they come back and pay you they are already aware of it.

Local Businesses I might say will take some time to accept BTC. As they are not familiar with BTC and also paper money is always in need. Also there is and issue about internet connection. In order to transact wallet to wallet both person must have internet in order to confirm that the other one receive the BTC. When BTC will be accepted by big companies maybe its time for the local businesses.

Tell them the uniqueness of Bitcoin Currency. Tell them what bitcoin is all about. Tell them the Pro's. If you want to encourage people to accept/use Bitcoin, then you have to tell something good about using Bitcoin and not the Bad things. You can also give them some evidence that bitcoin is good and you are using it. You can also tell the bad things about bitcoin but not too much. And tell them that bitcoin is growing.

Some shops already have qr codes to pay. Show them how easy and cheap it is to setup a qr transaction and how to include intirgrate of bitcoin within the store .

I saw someone on Politics & Society section, there's one guy that promoting bitcoin using QR code with his T-shirt and he tells everyone that it might work. So I guess that's a good start.

I think its not a good way to promote qr codes in t-shirt is not enough i think it needs more promotion about bitcoin like advertising it in facebook..

As quoted by above mate social networking websites help in big promotion of bitcoin. Also at the same time it reaches people in a very short time. This might cause an increased adoption in a less time which might grab the attention of governments which is not good for the growth.

bitcoin community in the country or in my town is quite a lot, and I saw it online. but indeed when I look in real it is still rare. but I'm sure if some stores give logos accept bitcoin payments. very likely to be a lot of people using bitcoin as a means of payment, and even people who previously did not know about bitcoin, they'll try to find out about bitcoin, because I think by using bitcoin transactions are so many benefits and conveniences.

Do you have local bitcoin exchanges with low transaction fees for the retailers to exchange fiat with coins?

Because if you don't, the retailers won't lift a finger.

Even though the media do not report it positively, it will take some time for the people to realise the benefit of bitcoin.
