With these times people now are aware with the use of bitcoin seems like that person knows the bitcoin already use of it so he accepts to offer this kind of mode of payment, for sure not literate people will disagree with bitcoin because they don't know what it is so why they will accept this instead the cash, that's all mean that the bitcoin now are continuously knowing and growing by the people. AFAIK there's a thread created about using bitcoin with the salary, some of them agreed but some of them doesn't want because of the possible loss due to market volatility.
I will probably disagree with your statement. We can own and invest in bitcoin even if we live in a country where bitcoin is banned. But for it to become a popular currency without government approval is impossible. One of the many reasons why bitcoin is still unpopular and many people dare not use it is because they fear a government ban. And how do businesses and shops accept it as currency if the government refuses? Individuals can use bitcoin quietly and stealthily from the government, but for businesses and institutions that is not possible.
Actually, it can be popular precisely because of the reason of disapproval by the governments. People often look for alternatives if the state forbids them to work white and openly in some field. The legal ways to transfer funds offered by most states cannot compare to cryptocurrencies. Generally, cryptocurrencies were invented as an alternative to traditional financial instruments offered by the state. And the more the state restricts the population in these matters, the more popular cryptocurrencies will become.
This can only possible in countries where Bitcoins are legal. Else if you ask for giving in Bitcoins in countries where Bitcoins are not legalised, then most of the time people won’t be aware of what Bitcoins are.
There is no correlation between the legalization of Bitcoin and people's knowledge of it. Bitcoin, on the contrary, is much more widespread in countries where it is not legalized, or partially legalized, as people perceive it as an alternative financial instrument capable of solving issues that national currencies cannot cope with. And in general, there are not many people left who are not at all aware of what Bitcoin is. Another thing is that not everyone knows how to use it. But this also depends more on the desire than on the conditions in which bitcoin is legalized.

In the beginning, when I first discovered Bitcoin, I attempted to explain its concept to my friends. Unfortunately, back then, none of them showed any interest. However, just 3 days ago, when we gathered again, they noticed the progress I've made. They are now aware of my continued involvement with Bitcoin and regret not paying attention earlier. They express a desire to get involved, but the high volatility of the market makes them hesitant to take the plunge. However, I haven't extended any offers to involve them in my workers.
I also have a few friends like that, and I think you and I are not alone in this situation. Many people missed out, and now they want to start getting involved with bitcoin. But honestly, I don't want to give advice to anyone, especially friends because I don't want our friendship to involve money. If I give advice and their investment succeeds nothing will happen, but if their investment fails they will blame and my friendship will be broken. Moreover, knowledge about bitcoin is not too difficult to find, if really want they can find it easily on the internet, I just provide more knowledge, I will never give any advice related to investment.
Bitcoin have widely spread to level that everyone is interested in bitcoin and when you listen to news and television broadcasters you see that they help to market bitcoin because of forex trading and buying and selling of bitcoin, if you establish a business now and your requirements of payment is with bitcoin, you see that most of people will like to make payment with bitcoin and when you pay them with bitcoin it's for their saves and same time for investment, but when you make payments with fiat currency it will be easily for them to spend it, so such is life.
Bitcoin has spread and most people know about bitcoin, but what they care about is bitcoin profit, or they use it for the purpose of protecting assets from government tracking. very few people consider it as a means of payment. let's take you as an example, are you using bitcoin for your daily bills, or are you also accumulating it and using it to hide your wealth? I mean, I don't think people will use it very often as a means of payment even if you live in a country where bitcoin is legal.
It has not been legalized as a means of payment which could be one of many reasons. but you can't deny that people are seeing it as an investment rather than a currency, as I said, neither you nor I want to use bitcoin for day-to-day payments. since we know its future value, no one wants to waste it. Besides volatility which is also a big hurdle, I bet you wouldn't dare buy bitcoin for $60k and would spend it when it's at $30k. there are many barriers that prevent people from using bitcoin as a means of payment.
The water system in my house got some blocking issues and I needed to call a plumber, the plumber guy I was used to was not available, I called and he said he is far away, so I looked for someone else.
After he went through the problem and fixed the pipes for me, out of joke I gave him payment options that are available, if he will like any.
I asked him if he will want cash, bank transfer or Bitcoin, to my surprise he answered Bitcoin, I don't take this very seriously because, you know, most people don't care about Bitcoin here, but he brought out his smartphone and told me to scan the QR CODE.
I asked if he really his serious and he said yes, I had to pay him in Bitcoin and he said something that caught my attention.
He said people don't ask that's why he believed no one is using Bitcoin as payment.
He also said collecting cash will make him spend the money faster but he chose Bitcoin because he planned to start buying the following week.
While I was trying to question him about how he know about Bitcoin he revealed that he is a student, and that being a plumber is his side hustle, this answered my curiosity about how he knew about Bitcoin.
Have you guys been promoting Bitcoin by asking workers if they will receive Bitcoin as payment? How was it? This is actually the first time I will do such, all my mind was focused on, if I didn't see Bitcoin Payment Receive here I wouldn't bother.
Well the only practical reasons why people feel bitcoin payment is limited to a particular group is because bitcoin adoption is still very far behind but as the day comes and closes we always get nearer to a new phase of full adoption and upon reaching that time it won't be something if suprise again when it comes to folks accepting bitcoin and moreover bitcoin is still highly restricted in some area which makes people curious on who and who is actually exposed to bitcoin.

I'm sorry i am not going to ask a 'plumber' if they accept BTC, if they accept BTC as one of their payment methods they have to let their customers know, and even if i hire a domestic worker to come work for me in my home and they accept BTC, i am going to pay in fiat and pretend like i don't use BTC. You don't know who this person could be, they might return later at night, but this time with a $5 wrench in hand.
I prefer to spend my BTC in a store or in any area where my trading partner doesn't know my house, we might change the stereotype in the future, but for now once people see that you use BTC, they'll think you are rich and might plan an attack on you, i am not ready to take that risk.
I agree with the opinion that you convey, in my opinion it is something that is lacking or maybe not wise if we expose too much what we have in this case our Bitcoin, to someone or several people who we don't know very well because it could threaten our safety.I prefer to spend my BTC in a store or in any area where my trading partner doesn't know my house, we might change the stereotype in the future, but for now once people see that you use BTC, they'll think you are rich and might plan an attack on you, i am not ready to take that risk.
Because I don't think that we are anti-social, don't trust everyone and have prejudice against everyone we don't know well, but in my opinion this is an effort that I will make to be more careful or anticipate the security and safety of ourselves and our Bitcoin assets we have.
Yes it's better to spend my Bitcoin with those who definitely accept a clear Bitcoin payment method and we already know.
It seems that the plumber had a pretty solid knowledge of Bitcoin and its advantages hahahaha. Which may indicate that you are more aware of current financial and technological trends. There are times when the person we least believe has great knowledge, the adoption of Bitcoin as a form of payment is not yet wide compared to traditional currencies... The volatility of the value of Bitcoin and the lack of regulation in some places can influence. . the willingness of people to accept it as payment... But I would say that the lack of knowledge is even greater, because most of the people I have asked about Bitcoin, none of them know what it is, the only thing is that young observed that they tend to know more about what Bitcoin is and what it is for... It is fascinating how technology is influencing various industries and our daily financial interactions, I just hope more is known in my country.
It will be better if knowledge of bitcoin is obtain by everyone but I don't think that in our society everyone knows about it. As you described about plumber so may be he has knowledge about it as he is a student and in every institution where there is one guy involved so every other guy also tries to do the same thing.
It means that he wants from longer time to buy bitcoin but due to some issues he cannot do it so by working as a plumber he achieved his desired goal. Spreading knowledge is easy and there will be lots of individuals who will do that so buying bitcoin sometimes become difficult therefore for those individuals taking bitcoin as a payment will be useful thing.

First of all, I appreciate you for playing an important role in promoting Bitcoin as an excellent form of payment. I think the student who came to work for you as a plumber knew a lot about Bitcoin. It is good that students are also interested in Bitcoin. Receipt in the form of bitcoins can make his earnings safe and profitable. He rightly said that if he had received cash from you, the money would have been spent by him. His receipt in the form of bitcoins suggests that he was interested in investing in bitcoins. Of course, investing a portion of your earnings into Bitcoin is one of the best strategies. People who know about Bitcoin will definitely accept Bitcoin as payment, because they know that they can convert Bitcoins into cash whenever they need. We are continuing the awareness campaign about Bitcoin among the people around us, and trying to make people prefer to invest in Bitcoin. It would help a lot to promote Bitcoin if everyone tried like you.
Bitcoin isnt just digital gold; its a reflection of our collective consciousness shifting towards decentralized systems. Start asking, start promoting, and maybe, just maybe, we can set the sails towards a future less dependent on outdated monetary systems

Finance of a person can be make stable if he spent his income according to the specific planning as spending more money in useless activities is a way towards defeat.
Sharing ideas with friends, reading books and watching videos helps an individuals how to work properly according to one's income. Also if one see how his fellows that how he managed his expenses then it can also helps him alot. No one is perfect but perfection comes when we work for it so no one is financially stable from start but if one realized the factor which will aid him then financial stability is not a big issue.

That is exactly what I did at work....
I asked them if they were willing to give 15% of my salary in Bitcoin (because that was what I usually converted myself) and they agreed. Then I went around and asked a few food merchants in our area, if they accepted Bitcoin and three of them did.
Now, I get bitcoins as part of my salary and I spend some of it on food for lunch. It is so satisfying to oil the system and to keep Bitcoin going by spending bitcoins.. and not just hoarding it.

Sure, it's not a bad idea to go around asking people if they want to accept bitcoin when paying for things. Who knows, they might be interested and out of curiosity, they might even accept it. But, this is only going to happen if the amount isn't too big. Maybe for $10 or $20. I doubt someone who doesn't know much about bitcoin would be willing to accept $100 in bitcoin and take the risk of losing profit. And you might want to be cautious. Don't go around screaming you have bitcoin. Some might think you are rich and the next thing you will see when you wake up is that you are tied under a basement.
By the way, what made you think that a plumber wouldn't know what bitcoin is?
Will you be willing to pay feeses for such inexpensive $10 purchases? Even in El Salvador, where bitcoin is recognized as legal tender, not everyone wants to accept payment in bitcoin, so it's all very individual. Entrepreneurial people will want to try accepting bitcoin payments and see if it will allow them to make more profit, and if it doesn’t make much sense, then it’s clear that they probably won’t be interested. And those who are ready to accept payment in bitcoins will simply notify about this by some kind of signboard, so that everyone does not have to ask about it. By the way, what made you think that a plumber wouldn't know what bitcoin is?
Reminds me of my close friend years ago when I bought some vitamins on a regular basis. I did asked him if he prefers cash, mobile payment or Bitcoin.
Although he preferred cash, but he was curious about Bitcoin. So I educated him a bit about the positive and real use cases of it as well as the risks.
He was not ready for BTC though, but would likely consider it sometime. Not all can be pleased or impressed about Bitcoin, but there are many people that we could spread awareness about it and not just focusing only on one.
