I think you can explain that bitcoin is money and it is simple, new innovation and more safe than reversible services payment are like paypal, skrill and neteller. With use bitcoin it will take costumers from another countries not local only.

If their business is running on fiat, it will really take a long time to consider adding bitcoin payment as an option since price fluctuates and $1 value of bitcoin is not $1 value in just few days.

This kind of system required a brainstorming on how a merchant will deal with bitcoin's active price fluctuations.

First you need to get all the online retailers to start accepting bitcoins and then spreading the word out in the local business industry. Maybe workshops and seminars might help with this, online you can stream a seminar on youtube or any other video streaming site and out in the public you can invite people from the business industry to attend too.

I also think that we first need to have a lot more online stores accepting the bitcoin only on that we can also encourage other locally company's.
The bitcoin also needs to get more used before this is gonna happen!

yes that is also a fact. and our area that is such a difficult job i think because in our are the local business men are mostly ignorant and they do not have any idea about computer and internet. they also have no idea about bitcoin. so it is really a difficult job.

you might be right,but i think i would say it other way.
They are ignorant,but you need to not forget about that it is not probably worth to launch something like this,if their client's even dont ask about bitcoin,why should they do something like this? stupid idea right? hahaha

This. After a while, they asked merchants that had started accepting bitcoin how many customers were still paying in bitcoin. It seems after an initial burst of spending, the novelty wears off and people go back to spending fiat. This was seen in UK, and that little town that had the 'bitcoin bowl'.

What the hell is a bitcoin bowl,lol?
I would like to pay taxes in bitcoin's lol that would be really cool but i guess the governement would cry a lot if someone would want to implement this Grin

Local businessmen are not dealing with the internet too much. Which is why millions of local shops dissapear and will keep dissapearing. They can't compete with the internet shops, since internet shop are cheap and have less cost (of a prime location in a shopping mall f.e).

Well, you would probably work with smaller business.

Show them the how Bitcoin transactions work and how easy it is to function.
Simple as a barcode being scanned with a mobile phone application.

Just explain the concept of Bitcoin and the perks / cons.

Bitcoin isn't something for physical stores. That's why we don't use PayPal to buy coffees. It's not beneficial for an online store. That's why every store I go to, i contact their sorry and ask if they accept bitcoin.

This is a true statement. But I've used Bitcoin in a public place as a form of payment and it is really convenient.

Any growth with Bitcoin is a good thing.

I agree that for the local store to accept bitcoin, we need to introduce bitcoin to them, going to them one by one is really a hard thing to do, best way is to set up an appointment to the business group and introduce bitcoin to them. In this meeting tackle why do they need to adopt Bitcoinand it's positive features. Some of it's basic technicalities and of course prepare a video and a demo (actual hand on).
I don't believe tht Bitcoin isn't something for physical stores, swiping cards are already implemented, why not send transaction thru your mobile phone. I believe that if you really want to implement something you will make a way for it. FYI, sending Bitcoin thru Android phone is easier process than swiping a Card.

You are 100% right,but another problem we can find is that not too many people use bitcoin in some countries,so if like 3% of their customers use bitcoin,why would they implement it? just not worth it at all for small buissnesses

But for the years past Bitcoins really gather more popularity to people and online business stores some of them are accepting it already and if bitcoins still keep spreading his fame well theirs no doubt for it to be accepted in business sector or even in physical store since bitcoin has great potential to take over those online mode of payments processors and if the businessman will see the larger market of bitcoins with im pretty sure they will adopt this coin in near future

i'd love to see the stats from businesses that started accepting it six months down the line. i've read that a few food vans and stuff stopped because they hardly got any business from it but wasted loads of time talking to people about it.

Right now much of profit can be earned from bitcoin if implemented into local businesses. Just a foundation for a later profit can be laid. Also the person who knows much about bitcoin nature can start bitcoin into their business rather than using it without any knowledge, just with focus of profit.

For the local business men to accept the bitcoins, we need to give them awareness through training's and promotions. We need to convenience them that using bitcoin in their business will be more beneficial for them.
Businessman will only be interested in it, if they know it wont cost them extra money to invest in.

Possible with something like a Mastercard BTC Card. With some stores with no options of accepting cards, that may be difficult since they have to upgrade to some tech stuff first, the costs of upgrading some are not willing to gamble into. But those establishments that accepts credit and debit card payments, all we need is to wait for bitcoin to become part of the mainstream alternative currency.

Well i actually doubt we can.
The reason is they are having too low amount of customers to get it worthy for them.
I mean of course not 100% people on earth use bitcoin,lets say its 5% of ppl.
So if they run a buissness and get lets say 100 customers day,its not worth it to start a new service to get only 5 customers daily payed with BTC.
Maybe in many years,when btc will get more popular,then we can.

In my opinion as long we accept scam like ponzi, hyip and all the other shit which destroy the image of this wonderfull invetion there will be no good future for bitcoin. It still will be a currency of the criminals. There have to be a rethinking.

there is no need to worry. bitcoin is too strong now. now one can effect its image. the people are entering and investing their money here in a large amount. we need to motivate the local businessmen. for this purpose we have to visit them and show them our own progress in bitcoin. i think they need a very regular instruction about bitcoin.
