Hi all,
First off I do have a main account on here and am fairly active (but don't want my account here associated with this one for privacy reasons). Not to mention I'm a huge cryptocoin geek.
My final year degree project is about cryptocurrency adoption in retail and e-commerce, and I've produced a kind-of survey for you guys so I can add some quotes from this community in the report section - directly quoting forums isn't really "professional", what we write has to be quoted from publications written by other people (unless we've "conducted research" which is what I'm doing here). Pretty limiting, what a facade, right?
. Anyway...
If you own an e-shop that either exclusively accepts cryptocurrency, or even just accepts it as one of many methods of payment it'd be awesome if you could get in touch with me via PM to answer a more fitting (and much shorter) set of questions regardless of how big or small you are. The reason I'm basing my project on digital currencies is down to my huge interest in them, and to push towards more widespread adoption hopefully even with regards to actual brick and mortar stores. The technology is all here (albeit in it's early stages of development admittedly), the world just needs educating. I honestly believe this technology can change the world, I just hope we can push it out and it can gain more momentum than the debt-driven war paper we currently have to use.
Anyway I'd really appreciate any input I could get here, especially if you're writing detailed answers. You could probably rush through it in under 5 minutes, but if you're providing written, detailed answers it'd probably take 10-15m.

All my friends know about Bitcoin because of me, some (4 properly using it) are even saving and betting with it (because it really is easier once you know how). I've spoke to some local stores, 1 of which seems really interested in accepting it (unfortunately don't think I'll be able to set them up before my report deadline so I can document it for grades, but still...). So yeah, I'm not leeching from you guys for my grades, I believe in, and enjoy what I'm doing here.
Oh, if possible keep the deepweb connotations to a minimum if any of you onion-heads are reading
. I'm sure you're all aware the media is using those connotations to scare people away from crypto, and I'm trying to help remove that stigma. I've even got reliable sources quoted proving that a higher percentage of USD is spent on contraband than that of Bitcoin (yep, not just because the USD is more widely used - size is factored in).
Anyway, any and all input is seriously appreciated.
Hope you can help me help crypto!
Peace
