I would gladly accept bitcoin as payment if the fees were around 5-10cent. I don't know maybei ask too much but 1-5$ fees per transaction definitely doesn't help bitcoin at all. Stores that sell cheap stuff are affected big time by this fee problem. One side, you can make your payments with mastercard and pay no such thing as "fee", and the other side there is bitcoin with "fees". The choice is kinda no brainer.

Stores accepting bitcoin is not really that many, they are only few but they are starting to increase day by day. We have a store and I think that these is great, though as a business man, that spent my time, I mean all of my time making my store be successful,  I can't afford to lose any profit. Bitcoin is now an option to pay on an online shop, but I can't accept bitcoin, not for now. Bitcoin is still making a lot of dumps, and as a businessman, I dont want to worry on another things, I just want to focus on my business.
Yeah if you run a business, dumps would be a major concern unless you have faith that in the long run bitcoin will continue to rise.

I think the safest bet would be to wait until after the halving takes place and things even out a little. Then there would be less fluctuations maybe but there would be higher transaction fees possibly. I’m not really sure about a fifteen percent increase in sales though. How did he figure that?

Look ARROUND!
Accepting Bitcoin in your personal store is really a game changer depending on who you're catering to. I would guess that if your store was focused on the 70-90 year old age group then it wouldn't matter so much about Bitcoin because people that old don't really use Computers that much. If the store was focused on people that are below the age of 60 then I would think that people would have some sort of interest in the addition of Bitcoin payments.

When will you start accepting Bitcoin in your store?

If you are entrepreneur, a business owner or you just have an online shope, chances are you can increase your sales by 15% while increasing your security,
if you start accepting Bitcoin and other digital currencies as a form of payment.
I have already did a study on this. We are running a provisional cum vegetable shop, but unfortunately there were not any bitcoin adopters in our area. Actually I put advertising board about bitcoin payment availability, people asked me what was bitcoin but no one was ready to pay with bitcoins.

Once I find some bitcoin adapters, I am in plan to bring back the idea of accepting bitcoin payments for provisions and vegetables.

The 15% will not come by magic, I guess it will come as a result of the increase in the price of bitcoin compared to when the sale took place but the problem will be what if there is a decrease in price of bitcoin? Which means I then make loss just because of that and the moment the loss is not something I can bear then I close up which is no fault of mine. The point I am making is that I will start accepting bitcoin in my store when the stability of bitcoin is certain.

No i don't think so because on local area there are not many people who use bitcoin for payment on the stores,
 accepting bitcoin on the stores doesn't mean will makes boost sales,
depend on the area how many people who use bitcoin on their real life because there are different users bitcoin
on every place even there are area that the peoples doesn't know internet.

Actually it only works for a country that has currency converter like in our country, we have a online wallet that exchanges bitcoin into fiat, the problem with the country that has no currency converter thing is that they will have a big problem when they reach a high demand, of course in business high demand means high supply, so basically how can they have the fund to have that supply if it takes time to sell their bitcoins, the business will eventually falls after having a lack of supply and time utility. If a person did this they will carry some risk because as the bitcoin price falls the price of the business remains so it wil be harder for a business man or entrepenuer to obtain the same product price while bitcoin price changes all the time.

Anytime local business can accept bitcoin on their businesses. In fact accepting bitcoin can be a good thing to them because through these their transaction can be fat and reliable. We all know that bitcoin is an internet base or manageable through the power of web, and it is very noticeable that we are living through technology where all thing is associated with the internet so many people will prefer to take their sales or to buy a particular thing to them with bitcoin. And one benefits they will have is they may have an investment where they can hold bitcoin until the price is high or increased. Through this they can earn more.

Now there are very good conditions to accept bitcoins as a payment on your business. There are many great payment processors. But business just don't see reasons why they need to accept bitcoins. Bitcoin community is still very very small and it's very low possibility that business customer is bitcoin user and he may want to pay with bitcoins.
As a regular citizen on a community of bitcoin I don't have the power yet to have a business inclined into bitcoin. But for me local businesses in my country should try to accept bitcoin on their transaction because bitcoin is internet base and the transaction will be powered by wed so it is going to be fast and reliable suitable for fast transacting. And the value or price of bitcoin always change and increase so more development will be made if they will going to accept bitcoin If they will hold before they convert.

Assuming that now I have my own business, I doubt that I'll accept bitcoin as a mode of payment in my business. Because a lot of people has still no idea about bitcoin and it is still not that known in my area. But in time that bitcoin will be known by many in my area, I will consider accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment in my business

Rather than using any of the above third party merchant gateway, i will prefer to use my own bitcoin lightweight wallet to accept bitcoin payments. Electrum wallet can be enough for anyone to start accepting bitcoin payments without paying any service fees.

It is a good idea but I think that you might just lose profits if you are just going to make a store which you do only accepts bitcoin, not all the people use bitcoin, that is why there might be only few people who are going to buy stuffs on your store, but if you are going to accept both fiat and bitcoin, then it might be possible to boost your sale since you are making good profit.

But it would be a good choice if you are going to do it on the future, if all the people around the world do knows bitcoin, and they are all started to use it as a currency.

Most are already implementing things like where the sellers stores accept payments using bitcoin, but it is not widely known by the public unless he advertise their store so widely known general public, and even some that apply payments using BTC to lease the inn restaurant and other

Now, I'm just planning in building a small grocery store in our place and i'm also planning for adoption of bitcoin as another type of payment method in our place because i read the news about the stores in Japan and i think it will become successful in our place also. I also considered the bitcoin users here in they are most of the my friends and our mini community here are keep growing so i think it will accept bitcoin as soon as i finished building my own business.

I unfortunately do not have a shop or business. I just can't afford it and I definitely don't have the time to run something that is so complicated. However, I have told my cousins, who co-own a corner shop, to start accepting Bitcoin as the price is rising and they would be earning more money. Since then, they have only gotten a couple of customers that want to pay with Bitcoin. And their sales have definitely not increased by anything close to 15 percent. That will never happen so maybe make a more realistic prediction next time.

I don't have any online/offline store to accept bitcoin but if i will have one in future, i will choose bitpay for bitcoin payments and to accept altcoins coinpayments is good. However bitpay have lots of terms & condition despite of low fee on transactions than coinpayments.

Indeed, Japan will play host to the 2020 summer Olympics, the right occasion that will encourage visiting foreigners to adopt and make payments in bitcoin if the cryptocurrency continues to expand aggressively as a method of payment in the country. After gaining legal status as a payment method this month in Japan, Bitcoin could soon be accepted in over a quarter of a million storefronts and retail locations this year.


Very good point! there is massive potential to expose a lot of
non Japanese native people to Bitcoin.

Is there anyone actively involved in marketing Bitcoin and
to a greater extent the blockchain technology? apart from
private blogs etc.

Because marketing is the key to everything really, the general public
needs to be made aware of what is happening in the industry
and how it can affect the future of economics.

The first question comes when the entrepreneur or a business owner wanted to accept bitcoin as payment system then what is the position of bitcoin in that country, because in most of the country still bitcoin is not considered as legal and some country have not described bitcoin as legal or illegal. Like i am from India and their are local exchanges who are doing buying and selling in bitcoin but still it is not clear whether it is legal or illegal , so accepting business for bitcoin is not possible till it is not clear because in future if it gets illegal status then who ever is in bitcoin business will be in problem.
