I have always dreamed of accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment since the year 2017 even before I became a master in my money-making haven ( fashion designer ) and now the time has finally come, today I start accepting Bitcoin payments.

It is a good aspiration and should be exemplified by other tailors, the payment method in Bitcoin is a method that many entrepreneurs / businesses aspire to, maybe you are one of the sewing entrepreneurs who have succeeded in making payments in Bitcoin.

I once read a sewing business entrepreneur who lives in London, he is Artefact London becomes world's first tailor to accept crypto payments, hope your, can also succeed like Artefact, maybe you want to also add some other cryptocurrencies like what Artefact London did.

Maybe you can also take a little experience from Artefact London, so that you become the most entrepreneur, the most successful sewing business in your country as a recipient of crypto in your business.

i can be the biggest cynic of peoples motives but i feel this topic is someone genuinely just describing how bitcoin has made positives on their life without any malice or harm on others.

id say for those that have seen benefit of bitcoin where no harm or foul was needed to achieve it. spread that knowledge to others. help others prosper

Maybe other people who want bad intention can use that so much better to put water mark on those pic with the name or forum name of OP so that no one can stole it easily.

Of course, that's what I'm worried about. I do like someone posting their image in online forum, but some of them don't really protect their privacy very well. Please adopt as much as you can, but privacy should be maintained instead of telling people the identity if it is illegal.

I can say that some people who are from Nigeria tend to share their image in forums regardless of the purpose. Of course there is no prohibition on that, but obviously this does not protect their privacy because bitcoin is not legal there to be adopted as a means of payment. So I think that mindset needs to change soon and they can still contribute to the forum safely.

So what do you think is the much safer way? Are you saying it's better not to post pictures at all?

There is no point inspiring those that show no interest in something that's highly volatile, I only lecture those that are open to new ideas and are not scared of taking risks.

This is also my mindset now. If someone is keen and shows how interested they are in bitcoin, I won't be selfish with them and I'll share everything that I know of and my way of investing in bitcoin and even how I do and keep it, I'll share it with them.
But there's no sense that you talk a lot that you know and you're just giving away what you've learned for years and then you'll be dumped on an instant from these people that have only showed interest at the start but stopped all of a sudden.

If bitcoin is not legal in your country as a means of payment, then you shouldn't be announcing it to anyone online even in forum.

Bitcoin not being recognized as an official payment method does not make bitcoin illegal. It's only illegal if a law has been passed that says so. There is a clear distinction. Banks and especially central banks might not like cryptocurrencies but if the government doesn't forbid it, there shouldn't be a problem if businesses accept it.

Taxes are a different issue though. The local tax authority isn't going to allow you to not pay your taxes. I wonder what would happen if inspection comes to your shop to look at your books and they notice that 'Bitcoin Accepted' sign? It would be even worse if they catch one of your clients leaving the shop without a receipt, proof of payment and paid taxes. That's something worth thinking about to avoid hefty fines. I have no idea how those things work in your area of living, but you should check it out.

Merit fishing you say?

I guess it's just one of the impressions about your thread where previously the same idea has also been posted by other people. You know, everyone has a different perspective on other people's endeavors, but we never really know what's in your heart. I don't think there's anything wrong with that impression, but don't use it as an excuse why you should lose motivation and move on with your adoption efforts.

Well somehow that's what the post mean but it really deserve since effort has been made for spreading the word of bitcoin on his neighborhood. Hopefully OP will not doing it because he was hype up by bitcoin and continue this for more better awareness about it on his place.

But your customers look like tailors why is it that all of them have the measurement tape? Are you sure what you are saying. If it is true the you are Well done. Also your images are big so reduce them a little bit. And don't show the images of your persons again, respect their identity. Go and teach more then you will become a vendor in your locality. Three persons are not enough although for the Start. The way the thread is, it looks like a merit fishing, show the transaction the three customers made...

I don't have to become a vendor I am just promoting Bitcoin, I have 80% of my money invested in crypto and it's been a long time coming, this was what even inspired my customers, asking me questions and telling me to teach them.

Merit fishing you say? I hope this forum implements video uploading someday so forum members will see a lot more, I have 5 apprentices and 1 was behind the camera taking my picture with 2 of my apprentice, do I look too young to be interacting with Bitcoin? You have no idea.

Btw, @OP it would be nice if you create a banner or a tarpaulin with Bitcoin accepted here design and much better if you can put on the entrance of your store. It will surely attract attention and curiosity to those who are new with the Bitcoin payment system.

If OP is a Nigerian and also living there I wouldn't advice such publicity since the government hasn't openly declared there intentions yet about bitcoin. Although there seems to be hopes of it been accepted by the Nigerian government with the recent lessen of its restrictions but till then I will advice the OP to stick to the little paper adverts rather than billboard. OP should also discuss about it acceptance as a fork of payment to only people who are already into it or people showing glimpse of getting involved into it, not to every random customer, for security purpose.

Definitely not customer and OP didn't mention she posted pictures with customers holding that payment sign. She and her co-workers can pose for the picture.
Cool down a bit. She shared an achievement, don't try to discourage her. If you have any personal problem with her, don't start here.

I appreciate what you've done and congratulations for reaching another milestone. Unlike with other businesses which requires huge amount of raw materials; it is sewing which is somehow being paid in BTC, I think, in this case so it would work more efficiently. Why? In food buisnesses who'd accept cryptocurrency as a mode of payment, perhaps, would somehow struggle because raw materials will be always needed, therefore, btc payments should also circulate on raw stocks to run that business. In fashion designing, (please correct me if I'm wrong), it is the talent of the designer which is more being paid in most instances so I hope accepting btc as a payment would work smoothly for your business.

It would be nice if you can sell your designs for bitcoin and ship them around the world. For sure you can get a lot of clients that way because bitcoin is a tool to close deals with people from other counties, that's my favorite feature.

Maybe the next step is to make a book of your designs to be able to promote bulk sales. And maybe that way you will hit the right customer to become his provider Wink

We can't blame those that still have their eyebrows raised for bitcoin and thinks that it's a scam or nonsense thing on the internet. They'll be left behind don't worry and for the actions that they do right now, it's not going to be worth it until they start making questions to themselves and they'll have the idea that they should have invested earlier. Well, congratulations to you and it's a happy vibe that you're sharing since I also see some other members of the forum sharing their acceptance of bitcoin for the payments on their businesses.

That's great to hear you finally achieved this, congratulations for accepting Bitcoin as a method of payment which is a good way to diversify your payment options and potentially attract a new customer base. Make sure to use a good wallet inside of exchanges and also stick to one source of bitcoin price provider

This is a post for raising awareness, and she did a good job of informing us that she now accepts bitcoin from her customers. The fact that a fashion designer developed this concept in her community is not necessarily a bad thing. Don't bruise her ego in her efforts in of sharing this wonderful news with us. You wouldn't expect her to call out her entire region to her bitcoin dealer; this is only for a start (three persons). Gradually it will become known that she accepts bitcoin as means of payment.

I always believe that crypto adoption is a responsibility for users and believers at the first place and what you are doing is the best example for this, this initiative is what we should all do as bitcoiners to show the world at which point crypto can be useful for the world and humanity daily activities

Truthfully only three of my customers are willing to pay me in Bitcoin for now and that's because I was even the one that teach them about Bitcoin since last year 2021 and now they are also investors too. I believe that as time goes on many will develop an interest as well.

There are too many people that don't know anything about Bitcoin here, few who knew about it call it a scam, I blame that on lack of knowledge but some are willing to listen and learn, I will keep doing what I do best.

Bitcoin adoption all the way, 2023 should be better, hopefully, I want to use this opportunity to say a big Thank You 🙇 to families on here, your share of knowledge reshaped me, I wish you guys a Merry Xmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year in Advance.

Congrats, man! You're the reason global BTC adoption is growing! Keep up the good work and good luck with your venture! Well-deserved merit!

BTW, which country are you from? Do you also accept LN payments?

Over the years I've experienced a big change around the world in terms of cryptocurrency acceptance into their businesses. Unlike the scale there are more and more businesses getting added to it. This is much needed one, as the usage of cryptocurrencies were getting widespread through different sources. In specific the widespread and people taking initiative to educate the person next to him/her is found much on the African countries. Finally I'm happy for the addition of bitcoin payment and appreciate the effort.

The idea is almost the same from one thread to another, still regarding adoption which is most likely closed to the public, let alone known to the government. I'm in no rush to jump to conclusions as to what the purpose of this thread is, but the OP has done it for the early stages.

I prefer transparent adoption rather than being done secretly where the OP only uses a piece of paper that he accepts bitcoin as a means of payment for his business. But I think regulations still prevent OP from doing it legally. Really?
