Title: How are you helping to spread the word of bitcoins? Post by: galaxyman on December 05, 2012, 04:38:08 PM Right now, bitcoin is mostly known to a relatively small number of people on the internet, with the exception of a few real-world merchants and perhaps friends and family of those mentioned above.
Don't get me wrong, this group is growing... and quickly, too! Everyday, more and more people are accepting bitcoins as payments. I offer bitcoin payments in my wi-fi business because even though no one has yet to pay with bitcoins, it gets the message out there. People ask what it is, and I gladly explain it to them. I offer a 10% discount when paying via bitcoin, which isn't bad considering PayPal snips roughly 10% for themselves on my transactions (25 cents + 5%, i think). So, what are you doing to get the word out? -galaxyman Title: Re: How are you helping to spread the word of bitcoins?

I have organized a meetup and have approximately 4-10 people meeting every fortnight. I attended a conference on Emerging Payment Trends in India. And a whole lot more. Currently working on a company that provides low cost customer service/ e-mail/ chat support to customers. Title: Re: How are you helping to spread the word of bitcoins?

Post by: Thursday on December 06, 2012, 04:10:55 AM To be honest I don't know the in's and out's well enough to feel confident enough to really bring it up with someone. I think defacing U.S. dollars with bitcoin info is helpful. I always enjoy a dollar bill with something interesting on it.
