5.  Now not only street thieves is after me, I also have to worry about several malicious apps and online hackers.

I am having a strong believe that In months to come I would be able to have more customers willing to pay in cryptocurrency. I have not thought of creating a thread in the Goods section but your post has urged me to do so and I am taking steps in doing so. Thank you sir.

I decided to accept crypto as another means of payment in my noddles DEPOT.
  According to WINA (World Instant Noodles Association), Nigeria is ranked 12th largest consumer of instant noodles in the world with estimated annual demand of 1.79billion packets of noodles. Reports also put the number of Nigerians that consume noodles at 14million which is nearly 10% of population of Nigeria.

I placed a Notice outside my shop front stating "We are now accepting Bitcoin for payment".  

I am open 24/7 to receive your order, you can send DM and your order will be delivered.

I hope this is a good step I took?

Awesome.  Congratulations!  I hope that this continues to be a great experience for you and that you're able to keep some Bitcoin saved in the event we see another bubble.  You should think about making a proper thread to sell your noodles in the Goods section so that other users can support your business.  I remember someone doing this back in 2011 but they didn't stick with it.  Hopefully you can and are rewarded for doing so!

It's okey with me,  I would want to report the total turn up of customers who pay with crypto after 4 months from now.

Does that mean you remove fiat payment methods completely and only bitcoin (crypto) to avoid these 2 problems?

Those who wants to buy noodles and pay in Bitcoin, BUSD, USDT or BNB are welcome, transaction is so fast and secure with only little transaction fee.

I placed a Notice outside my shop front stating "We are now accepting Bitcoin for payment".  
first week of placing this notice was like no result achieved, most customers keep asking how I think this kind of idea would work and I said to them, nothing is impossible. lot of customers were also curious 🤨🧐 to pay in Bitcoin/crypto currency instead of carrying cash about.
3 weeks later, I received the first payment from 5 customers in Bitcoin, BUSD, USDT and BNB, transaction was fast and secure and my customers were happy 😁 as I was too.

the problems I have had with this payment method are:
 3: some times I mistakenly take counterfeit cash
 4: I got harassed by some street thief's  

After started my noddles DEPOT on January 2021, I started by accepting cash payment, mobile banking transfer and a POS marching so that customers could make payments just with their debit/credit card without having to carry cash about.

my customers seem not to be satisfied with these Three payment method, they always have few complain like;
  1: oh! I forgot my debit card at home
  2: oops!! I don't have enough cash to make full payment
  3: ah!! my bank network is not connecting, I can't make transfer.

the problems I have had with this payment method are:
1: receiving late payment as a result of banking network.
2: when customers pay with their Debit card using my POS marching, they get debited and I end up not receiving credit alart unless I go and lounge a complain in the bank for reversal.
 3: some times I mistakenly take counterfeit cash
 4: I got harassed by some street thief's  

 following the ideaology of a Nigerian brother in this forum, I have made up my mind to be more practical as a Bitcoin believer. I decided to accept crypto as another means of payment in my noddles DEPOT.

Always good to see businesses incorporating bitcoin into their payment systems. Good move by yourself, OP. I wish you good luck. Nigeria is a real leader in adoption at the moment, I see lots of stories like this.
