Re: How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC?

We must demand that they accept bitcoin and we must persist that accepting bitcoin as payment can bring in more sales and new customers. We must keep persisting that they accept bitcoin. With enough people, they might consider it as one of their payment methods. Hopefully as bitcoin users increase, it will influence businesses.
well demand will let them think to accept it and more explanation and showing the advantage and benefits of using bitcoin for their business will also gather their interest, as business minded people always look for an advantage for their profits so if they will see that bitcoin will give them favor for sure they will embrace it in no time.
yeah you should have a good and a little bit large bitcoin community around , so you can make the job to encourage local business to accept bitcoin easier , explain everything together and it will attract people to come , as they curious what happening there , and that time is the show time.
It wil be great if local businesses accepts bitcoin but why not focus on the root of the problem on why they don’t accept it? Imo it is because they have
never heard of it/using it and not a single customer have mentioned it. I’m one of those people who believes that if bitcoin became popular, Its
acceptance from various kinds of business will naturally come. What we should do now is to increase the satisfied bitcoin users.
I think you can give them a short explantion as to why you support bitcoin.
Short explanation isn’t going to be enough to show those local business owners why you support bitcoin and on how they are going to benefit from it.
You need to show and explain why they are going to get benefit from it like giving their customers another way of paying their services and goods.
And of course disclose to them the disadvantage of it.
And when you speak or disclose about its disadvantage then most of them or all of those owners will directly neglect or refuse bitcoin but well its a part on explaining it so that they would be aware about bitcoin even more.Local business owners cant really easy adopt bitcoin since its not being regulated by the government and they dont like unstable prices.
I guess they won’t since they are open-minded and they know how business works, for sure they know that it has risk and negative impact to the people.
They will simply understand it as long as you can defend that negativity into positive opportunity.
It depends on the approach you will made on how you would able to explain but there are business owners who were close minded persons which they would stand for their own views and beliefs in terms of business and most of them do really like to play safe which means chances of being rejected or neglected about bitcoin would be really high.
Yes as long as you are going to approach them positively and on a encouraging spirit that can make them brought up with your feeling.
And when they feel that you are sincere and they are going to trust you, they won’t have any doubts on you.
But make sure that you are not going to force them to accept bitcoin, it will be the bad way of encouraging them.

It takes more than positivity to encourage people to basically change their perception of money and move into cryptocurrency. Change is scary for most people. We have to really convince them about the benefits and uses of bitcoin.

I think the problem is that it is too volatile at the moment for shops to accept bitcoin. If they pay their suppliers in Fiat, then by the time they have sold the goods bitcoin could experience a drop in price so even if the store owner sold the goods, they still might not be better off.
It will happen I’m sure, just not until it stabalises more on price.

that’s why i told you to ask for friends help to explain bitcoin together lol , then you can figure out what makes people don’t want to start using bitcoin , why they did not know yet about this cool and popular stuff on the internet , find a solution for that and convince them bitcoin has a lot of advantage to offers.

They need to understand bitcoin price will be up and down, but in this matter, the local shopkeeper will not convince about the price speculation. They set up a business for money, but if they lost through trading than to regain the money it is not possible. Because bitcoin is completely online stuff.

Dear knightkon,
You are very welcome to get involved with the revolutionary Blockpay product recently developed by Bitshares Munich. Please see the video below:
See also their link attached here:
As you can see, retailers are now able to accept any digital currency or asset (not only bitcoin) as payment for their goods or services in a matter of seconds.
Moreover, the volatility issue has been resolved with this new technology including smartcoins pioneered by Bitshares. The Blockpay solution works at any brick and mortar (physical) or online store. The retailers just need to download and use the Blockpay app as a point of sale. They are also able to cash out the earned money in their local FIAT currency bank accounts if they wish to.
If you download the smartcoins app and blockpay app yourself, get the product information as well in printed version, then show your local retailers a live Blockpay demo, they might take you very seriously indeed.
