Sad that they are not accepting bitcoin right now, but there are good options for business owners to easily accept bitcoin payment. Do you have more information on the restaurant and where it is located? Also do you know if they will really accept bitcoin in the future?

It's Christmas and I'm back in my hometown to spend the holidays with my family and friends. Today we decided to have lunch at a local restaurant. I was shocked to see the interior walls of the restaurant decorated with Bitcoin stickers, banners and bitcoin wallet ads. I didn't expect to find this in a small town, I was excited to show my friends how practical Bitcoin is. We placed our orders and when the bill came I asked if I could pay in bitcoin. The waiter stared at me with a blank face as if nothing I said made sense. Clearly this guys do not accept Bitcoin payment. I was furious...no disappointed...I quietly asked to see his manager, the lady came to see what the problem. I asked her why they wouldn't accept Bitcoin payments but have the walls decorated with bitcoin stickers, banners and crypto wallet  ads. She explained they have some sort of franchise deal and get paid for keeping the ads on the wall but they don't really know how Bitcoin works or how it can positively impact their business. I could sense she wanted to learn what I knew, but it wasn't the time and place for a Bitcoin lecture. Instead, I invited her for Christmas dinner and promised to teach her Bitcoin.
Merry Christmas everyone
I understand you perfectly, but it's also true that it looks more like an advertisement for the platform than an advertisement for bitcoin! among other things, any commercial activity should display at the entrance or at the checkout that they accept payments in bitcoins. let's just say it's quite misleading. in any case, I believe that soon they will be everywhere, restaurants or businesses that accept payments in bitcoin

Merry Christmas and Happy New year

This restaurant doesn't accept Bitcoin but it seems to be a good place where you can advertise a big lie. I think you did well to ask if they accepted the payment and you were really great when you invited the manager to dinner to talk about the protocol, when he comes you have to explain to him how important adoption is especially in your country.
You are not there to know if what the Op is saying it truth concerning the restaurant that accept Bitcoin for payment so it might be true because right now many people love cryptocurrency and they since they love cryptocurrency then 12 serve their money in Bitcoin so that it will be easier for them to do any other online trading or online transaction with bitcoin so don't dispute the fact that the Opie is lying because nobody knows if it is true or not

It is something very nice to find some type of establishment that can be paid with bitcoin, I have found very few places that have that option, generally in some restaurants in Ecuador you can find that easy payment.

In developed countries it is more common to find them, in the Netherlands I saw that some establishments were very large and that they had bitcoin as many payment options and I thought it was something sensational, and if these countries that are so good at everything support this type of payment it is because things are going very well, and that is beneficial for everyone in the world, because those of us who have some bitcoin will be beneficial.

Interesting enough that they have decorations of BTC on their restaurant but they do not understand nor accept it as an alternative method. But in all honesty, this kind of movement is definitely worth it for the establishment to gain attraction from its community. Even if they do not accept BTC as payment, the fact still remains that they do recognize and know the existence of BTC, which is definitely more than a thousand of words worth it.

Though that may be the case, inviting someone for dinner is definitely questionable as there are other options that can be exercised (e.g. coffee, lunch, etc.).

Cryptocurrency in the past got spread only through the word of mouth. Nowadays different firms trying to make business out of cryptocurrency make different promotions. These promotions give more visibility to cryptocurrency, but the real learning is a must to use it good. Restaurant in Nigeria promoting cryptocurrency without cryptocurrency acceptance is a positive move and the owner of the restaurant getting interested to learn is a great outcome.

Nah, that title was a clickbait since there's no single Bitcoin transaction happening on that restaurant. It's not bad to advertise Bitcoin, however, the owner or that lady doesn't have any knowledge about of what they were advertising. I thought they were just like in any other places where they totally accept Bitcoin as a payment.

As what I've read from the replies above, those people might be in trouble if they continue to trust those unreliable advert or those people trying to lure most people to invest in them. It's a common strategy to recruit a potential investors but fed with wrong information that would end up in a scam scheme.

Why would you invite a restaurant owner for Christmas dinner?

Maybe she is a  beautiful woman  Cheesy



 She explained they have some sort of franchise deal and get paid for keeping the ads on the wall but they don't really know how Bitcoin works or how it can positively impact their business.

Quoting so everyone can see the image.

The best you can do is help her use bitcoin.
You can help her set a wallet for free. Maybe in time you can even receive some money by setting a btc payment method for them.
At this point I will say that you can only help someone setting up a free wallet when the person is interested over cryptocurrency because for someone who is not interested over cryptocurrency when trying to give it a lecture of cryptocurrency by forcing the person it will find it very difficult to understand but when the person have interest over cryptocurrency it will faster the learning and also understand it very faster than the one that does not have interest

For the ad banner I was not so surprised.
Currently there are many sponsors related to cryptocurrencies. But at my place, I only see it a lot on social media.
On the streets sponsored billboards about cryptocurrencies can even be counted on the fingers.

But this time there was a sponsor in the restaurant with a big banner, but the manager didn't know what they put up with? How could it be like that?
I'm actually curious about the manager, how come he doesn't know what sponsors are installed in the restaurant where she works.

The decision to sponsor a restaurant naturally involves the restaurant owner and the manager himself.
If the restaurant owner decided to put up the sponsorship how could he not explain it to his manager?
I wonder how it goes after the OP teaches about the crypto world and if the restaurant will reconsider accepting bitcoin payments?.

Next you have to be very mindful on how you discusses about bitcoin or asked question whether they accepts or not more especially in the village, you know people in the village always thinks that anyone who deals on bitcoin is madly Rich and Wealthy otherwise you could get kidnapped. It all depends on the area you found yourself if is that secure for you to discuss bitcoin related talks. For about the manager, i would have suggested you just have her contact maybe whenever she's less busy or during Sunday's you could equally visit her to explain more things to her and how it works.
Dealing with Bitcoin is not a big deal compared to the hype people who purchased bitcoin are receiving by the uninformed individuals. Discussing about Bitcoin openly is not advisable because the level of fraudulent activities these days is increasing rapidly in numbers and these fraudsters might target one as their prey. I'm a passive trader in the market and I understand what it feels like to lose crypto assets. Always been discreet would help alot of people from the poor state they are and place them weigh higher than their position.

Why would you invite a restaurant owner for Christmas dinner?
I get this may be strange to you understanding there is a cultural difference between us, my community is tightly knit. Everybody knows everybody or someone related to your family, that's one of the beauty of coming home for the holidays. It's Christmas and I wanted to be nice. I will be here after the 25th so you're not worried I was stabbed to death by a stranger.
glad to hear that your community is tightly knit and i'm sure the idea of the restaurant owner comes from a concept sparked by your community.  but does your government not ban it (bitcoin advertised easily), from what i heard, several countries on the African continent have governments that strictly prohibit bitcoin and crypto ecosystems in their countries.  i hope your community grows bigger and your brotherhood to each other gets closer.

The Nigeria has been always good suppoter of bitcoin with so many users into it which is good to see but you should teach the lady all the basics about btc and how it operates so if she wants it can be implemented as payment mode also in the restaurant by her as many like you will be willing to pay in it.

Although if she agrees you can also have a small demo class for the workers to explain it about how they can use it in the future and setup their wallet or use third party softwares for accepting these payments.But I am happy that you want to spread awareness about btc and your community has tight bond with each other.Merry Christmas to you man.

You have started a task and the goal must be achieved, which is spreading in awareness of bitcoin for quick adoption, you should follow her up in other for her to have the knowledge of bitcoin properly. Since the restaurant is benefiting of the ponzi scheme of that company,if the manager understands bitcoin and see the benefit, I believe she might convince the owner of the restaurant to start accepting bitcoin payment.

The manager can still pass the knowledge of bitcoin on the workers if the restaurant,for easy understanding in terms of relating it with customers who in the nearest future might want to pay in bitcoin. OP keep it up but don't get carried away with her beauty . Grin

To be honest, I'm not excited to see things like bitcoin being used for payments right now. Compared with before, more and more friends know about Bitcoin, but nothing seems to have changed. Like someone who knows diamonds and gold.

You own the pen
Oh wow, people love to have high expectations and easy to make a conclusion according to their wishes. Like what happens in this restaurant that only advertises crypto wallets, but the OP says Bitcoin restaurant. Perhaps the OP is very enthusiastic about Bitcoin or just wants to make a clickbait. I don't know. Because the ads look like they have been there for a long time, and the restaurant is in the OP neighborhood.

In some places, things like this are rare to occur and this might be a step forward for some bitcoin enthusiasts there but just a normal occurrence in our place. Despite it being just a mere exchange advertisement, it is probably their way to make bitcoins known in their place with the help of this advertisement. I think it is also the same case when we were in our early stage of having bitcoins in our country, our local exchanges advertise a lot and that became one of the sources of promoting bitcoins in our country until it became widely known and until our payment apps adopt the crypto payment as well in their apps.

Christmas has already passed. What happened to the dinner? It went well? Did you really teach her how to use Bitcoin? I think the stickers and decorations about bitcoin on the walls are from the local exchange or wallet since they are getting paid to put it there as an advertisement, but I am very shocked that they don't know how to transact it. Didn't they get curious about it? Will they try using it? I think they just really want to get paid for the advertisement and don't care what it is.

Perhaps the value of bitcoin has not been advertised in full, and some people only know the surface of it

on the wall of the restaurant there is a sticker with a picture of bitcoin, that's good. because it's rare for a restaurant to have a bitcoin sticker or banner on its wall. which certainly looks very unique and good. With bitcoin stickers and banners in a restaurant, it means that people are starting to get to know bitcoin a lot. If you invite that person over for dinner and are taught about bitcoin by you that is a great thing.
