Through payment method in different business stablishment but it depends on the area. Transaction always need internet ,if you accept payment using bitcoin or ethereum you should provide internet for your customer so that they will attract to buy using bitcoin and not their cash money. Although in some other things,bitcoin is already used like paying bills online.

This is a good action to help spreading cryptocurrency in our places,and not just Bitcoin but Good altcoins also so Having small businesses accepting Bitcoin is really a best way to help spreading crypto.
how i wish that one day in my country i can buy even a soda using Bitcoin but i know this will take long because of government stand towards bitcoin.
Spreading bitcoin is really easy because some people think that bitcoin is a big scam but they don't know what the bitcoin impact to those people knows about bitcoin. Maybe some country adopt bitcoin but some are not adopt bitcoin because the Internet problem.
Not only normal people should believe in cryptocurrency but also the business owners, whether small of big business owners. It is better to spread a full working method than having it trial and error for individuals like what the others are doing right now. Just like how everything started in here, it is a must to come in small before getting huge for mass adoption.

In addition to what you have listed, easy of use should also be considered. I should be able to transact via SMS, I should not rely 100% on internet before completing a legitimate transaction. I should able to also sing and complete a transaction using my email as an identity rather than the long strings of wallet which is not easy to memorize. Easy of use will add to mass adoption in my own opinion.

The thought is that the thing that individuals are required once you got to build the choice rate during a specific nation.
so I bolster your thought.
The structure needs improvement, yet it's fine since there's constantly plenty of room for development.

I don't feel that spreading bitcoin is easy. however, it is very difficult. of the few people I invited, only a few survived. as you said, many feel that this is MLM, or fraud, or something like that. however, they will be interested when they see the benefits before their eyes.
it's just that investors in my city are starting to realize that bitcoin is quite profitable.

I think the question here would be security. People is very intimate when it comes to food and the concept to employ Bitcoin on food businesses is quite excellent. However, people who purchase foods in businesses like these are not all Bitcoin users. For common people, I think they will need more education regarding Bitcoin's power and have the be assured of the safety and the legitimacy of Bitcoin. For Bitcoin users, it is needed for them to be assured in terms of security because being scammed is not an option in the first place. They would be very careful for their Bitcoins to not be wasted on a simple stomach craving. The initiative I think, for this to be in action is from the local government itself. To be put into action by the authorities, to be able to assure people.
first you don't need to quote the whole post so the thread will remain clean and less spammy look.



actually you have a point but that is the main idea of OP in posting this,because in this way People will be asking if what is bitcoin and may give a chance for another adoptions.

and also Businesses will have also a chance to check what is this and how it works with this the advantage of Bitcoin payment will surely make them love and try

I also want the adoption of BTCitcoin and Cryptocurrencies in my country.
My experience can give you some ideas to add some things to your initiative.

I asked the owners of my favorite stores if they could accept Bitcoin for the payment of my purchases and they said no.
I did it with the intention of knowing their reaction. This tells me that there is ignorance of how to use Bitcoin.
What is the shortest path to adoption? It is the learning and display of other local merchants who are already accepting Bitcoin and, therefore, will give confidence to the local commercial sector.

Another experience that I had was when buying a smartphone in Mercado Libre with ethereum. The price was $99 and the seller asked for an additional 10%.

Smartphone and website where I bought

Last month a Burguer King Venezuela store began to accept cryptocurrencies.

An article about the websites that accepts payment with Bitcoin that can also help you.

Sorry, design of this is not so good. Only adoption of local law will help with crypto adoption
he was just created this for others to follow and not for worldwide use,the important thing here is that OP is willing to help the crypto world specially Bitcoin to be Known and used even in small businesses things that effortful for OP to do even if its designed for local purposes.since you have been here and criticizing then why not just follow His step and do your own effort how to help the spreading and use of Bitcoin,things also that i am doing when i am outside asking establishment if they are accepting Bitcoin or will consider in future.

I'm in cryptocurrency space for 2 years already and I am thinking of possible ways I could contribute to bitcoin and crypto community, I realized that we have different line of track in where we try to improve ourselves, our skills, and knowledge for us to create or do something useful.

In terms of bitcoin adoption, people could wear shirts with bitcoin logo, tell their friends about bitcoin, and sell items through bitcoin or altcoin. I've just researching and learning how to code and I've tried to develop a system (Point of sale) for a small business located in our area but with a twist, it might be easy because what I've did is just to add a QR image of Bitcoin and Ethereum not much to focus on code to literally incorporate the blockchain system to it.

here's what I've did.

Payment could be in Cash, Bitcoin, or Ethereum



This is the bitcoin payment window



this is the ethereum payment window




My goal is to help bitcoin and cryptocurrency adoption through small business because I believe it will help people recognize and utilize bitcoin as their payment option in the future.

This system is working fine, but it needs third party applications that could scan bitcoin QR code. I know QR code could not be the secured and there are possible other options I could add. But my intention with this system is to help people recognize cryptocurrency especially bitcoin, and to use cryptocurrencies as an alternative payment option for seamless transactions.

There's allot for this system to improve, later I will try to learn how the entire blockchain system or the smartcontract works because as of this moment, there is no courses offered in our university yet, and knowledge of the blockchain technology is only accessible through internet.

If you have any references where people like me could access to learn programming and developing blockchain applications, it will help allot.



I think the question here would be security. People is very intimate when it comes to food and the concept to employ Bitcoin on food businesses is quite excellent. However, people who purchase foods in businesses like these are not all Bitcoin users. For common people, I think they will need more education regarding Bitcoin's power and have the be assured of the safety and the legitimacy of Bitcoin.

However, now cryptocurrencies are losing in comparison with cash, if only because some fee needs to be paid for some transfer, and the lower the amount, the higher the commission on it. Or do you somehow compensate your customers for the transfer fee?

Everything you have mentioned there are already lots of people that have tried it, but it still didn’t work out. There’s really nothing you can do, and out can’t force people to make use of Bitcoin, it’s a thing of choice. It’s good that you found a way to add Bitcoin to your payment method in store, but don’t really force it, it’s a thing of choice.

As time goes on I believe that those who don’t want to make use of Bitcoin now will be the ones to decide for themselves and they would quickly adopt it when the time is right. It’s just like when I tell my friends about Bitcoin, I don’t force them into it, I just tell them that I make use of Bitcoin, it’s their choice to choose whether they want to use it or not, that’s none of my business I just do mine.
We are not forcing everyone to use bitcoin, but at least the OP has tried to provide an alternative for the adoption of a more tangible. Well, so far fiat is still very effective for transactions that are small scale, instant, and micropayment, given the price of BTC and other cryptocurrency volatile that makes fiat more appropriate as the main choice. However, on the other hand, cryptocurrency is quite effective for unlimited payments of time and space, see? fiat and cryptocurrency complement each other, depending on their individual needs.

What is certain is that evolution requires a long time, as well as the adoption of bitcoin, it does not need to be forced either, let it run as it is.

I appreciate your work, if you are a true bitcoin lover then you should have to do something unique for making bitcoin spread.
Again, the people using bitcoin should take the major steps to make the mass people aware of bitcoin. We can make rallies, Facebook events and maybe make some kind of festivals regarding it. So, more people can enjoy the advantage of bitcoin.

I guess this was a good start for an adoption but not enough to generate mass adoption. Maybe if this will be implemented and a lot of businesses implemented this also, we can expect that in some time the bitcoin ecosystem will boom again. It is possible to happen and also possible that it will not, it really depends to the people and to those bussiness if they are bullish with bitcoin. As we heard in the news Visa started to accept btc and this was good for crypto space.

This was a great app if will you atleast improve the GUI. This integration of crypto in our everyday life can surely results to an adoption because we tend to use it if it is available to the market or in your case a restaurant. It is really possible for those business to adopt this kind of system especially if they are bullish to bitcoin. I think more and more people will become interested on bitcoin and it is a positive thing to the bitcoin ecosystem.

Terrific! Another innovative idea to raise awareness and for pursuit of cryptocurrency mass adoption. I am being inspired because of individuals like you who have the initiative in creating new and creative platform to contribute to the progress of Bitcoin. Although, I must say that there rooms for improvement that should be filled, any step taken is still a step. You can start developing it to be more compatible to the preference of the locals in your community then focus on expanding and apply it on a global perspective. It would be productive to team up with a graphic artist, application developer and an individual that is familiar in business management industry but most importantly, with people you share the same passion and intention.

This was great and useful if will be finally implemented. In this way we can enable the user to pay through crypto or cash which will give them convenience. Also, this was a good idea to promote or advertise it to public because somehow we can apply bitcoin in our everyday life. Although its GUI needs to be improve, I guess you can make it with the help of a graphic artist.

There is no need to do anything new about it. I'm not saying that everything will happen by itself. Here's the situation. Mobile phones are becoming widespread and the internet is becoming widespread. Electronic payment systems are also becoming widespread. But there is something in stark contrast to these developments. We are paying more people the intermediary fee. That's why cryptocurruency will spread!

I think the advertisement for cryptocurrency and bitcoin is available everywhere. I see that advertisement when I browse on the internet. Besides that, I think many people who involved in the crypto world still spread the news in many places, including in social media, because social media now become very popular. We can see many advertisements for crypto or one website that offers about investing in crypto. That attracts many people to visit on that site. We need to keep spreading the crypto using many ways, and if we can spread the news in real life, I think that can help people to know about crypto and bitcoin.

It is possible most especially nowadays, food advertisements are developing and it is way more better if they also promote using bitcoin in their products. Although people are not yet adopted to bitcoin, we just need to start a movement just like that. If you're a real bitcoin fan and you're motive is not to abused crypto, but to use a digital currency that is easy to use in transaction, then you should start helping the crypto community. Let's wish for a widely mass adoption so that some other people will also know the benefits of using crypto in their daily lives.

I also saw news about Bitcoin in the TV broadcast. In addition, now that I'm a college student I would sometimes encounter people who are familiar with Bitcoin and in cryptocurrency in general but most of them are quiet skeptical and treated as a very risky investment and somehow I agree that's why you need to do research first so that you will not be surprised as how the cryptomarket sways since it would go from very high to very low. You should know how to react with these sudden changes.
