 ::) ... Yeah.. right?.. WT^F??  :D


First of all this is about how can we create a 100.000$ - 200.000$ bubble in BTCitcoinLandia.  :D :D :D

Well the solution was like this... Buy... then hodl... then buy some more and hoddle some more. But... wait?.. what?... Because NO! .. that is not enough!

So the appropriate solution is to create weird kind of business selling anything! Sell old stuff... garage style selling, antiques, paintings, statues, flowers from your garden.. or potatoes & tomatoes... clothes.. etc... So basically.. Anything will do!

And one of the most interesting and appealing would be the one in the title... Selling Lemonade yo! :D ... Just put your children in front of your house with the classic old fashion table... and the sign on it! And this goes for all the others mentioned above.

"Accepting only BTCitcoin!"... and maybe under the sign some promotional advertising...  "We also give weekly subscriptions or monthly! For respectively 1 liter/0.33 gallons per day. For the weekly subscription you have 10% discount and for the monthly one you have 25%."  :D

Have at it! ... And don't forget to HODL!  ;)

If you this big like whole business or trade through overseas means this bitcoin payment system works easily. Else how it is possible to achieve the payment with drops because fees also includes in this payment right!

My friend also start accept bitcoin. She was own couple ring , necklace , and other girls/boy accessories
At the first, she was no aware of bitcoin but after I'm explained , she believe on bitcoin right now

That was a clever way of earning more bitcoins.  But I think you could also include cash as your mode of payments.  If you do that then you just have to buy some bitcoins with your paper money.  If ever I will have an online store maybe I would ask my friends to open a bitcoin wallet so they could pay me bitcoin instead of money.

Rather than accepting just bitcoin, you should accept fiat as well and offer discounts for the use of bitcoins.
That way, people would appreciate the advantages of using bitcoins.

good idea accepting bitcoin for groceries , vegetables etc , it is better to add some discounts and Also accepting other fiat currencies, it makes bitcoin more popular , as the more users using , transaction increases and supports growth of the bitcoin :)

Will the new customers have the patience to wait 20 minutes until the first confirmation comes?
And will the kids have the patience?...

What's your describing is typically American. There's no one selling lemonade on a table where I live.

I have a small gardening business which offers a 10% discount for paying oin bitcoin, still no one has but im sure they will sooner or later.  ::)

Theres no harm in trying. Just try it and if it works then maybe you will get rich with that kind of system. Since peope will look for a new in of experience using bitcoins instead of money or cash, in some sense that will put weight to your business. I wish you luck in your bitcoin business hope you can make it big. I am also trying to make a business on my own using bitcoin but it only online.

I heard of a way you can skip the confirmations (on Xbox for example, it's an instant confirmation). That should be easy to be fixed.

Confirmation could be a problem, because of waiting, but I see some businesses have already accepted Bitcoin payment (some bakery in my hometown did) so there must be a way to solve this otherwise they would have given up by now. Maybe to do some inquieries about that. Anyway, don't give up, it's worth trying.

Good idea,actually you can make good money by implementing an idea like this one so it's worth giving a try.
And best part is you get paid in btc :D

Offer more discount, > 20%, if you can.

Well it may be a good solution, but the fact you will be accepting only bitcoin will limit the sales, you could exchange the cash into bitcoin as well. It sounds a good idea selling something tradicional as lemonade and introduce bitcoin to others people.

The savings on credit card charges is ~2%, which can be passed on to customers.
A discount of 20% would break most businesses.  :)

Very clever way to get bitcoin by selling lemonade. But in my country this will not work out because most people here dont know bitcoin yet. But your idea about garage selling looks nice.

Yeah the typical stereotype US lemonade stand! :D
I think this is something you really see happenign in the US.
In my country as well nobody is doing this.Also no garage sales are taking place here.
If you wanna sell your old stuff you either put it online on a local sells shop or you have to travel to peddlers markets where you can get rid off it.And for businesses like this people still prefer to pay with cash.

If the network doesn't have at least one confirmation, anyone can easily double spend that money. It's not about the device you use, it's about how bitcoin works.

It is a nice suggestion but we do not have to choose for those things which will be easily available with fiat in other stores in our area, we have to choose for something different, like we have to import some attractive decorative goods from foreign and have to introduce them in our area with bitcoin, people will like to buy them and for that they will adopt bitcoin.

Idea sounds nice, but I think it won't be successful. Lemonade buyers would be kids, but they only have cash in their pockets. Mostly don't know about bitcoin and they not interested in it. It would be hard to find clients.
I think it's only stereotype taken from Hollywood films, where kids selling lemonade to earn few bucks

I do not know who would sell Lemonade for Bitcoins because I would not do that because I do not think that I would make much money with it at all.
This would be a good thing for kids who want to make money.

I also think that this is not very smart because you cannot make a lot of money with doing this, and its also that not a lot of people will buy it with bitcoins.
This is a useless idea in my eyes.

The suggestion is not limited to selling lemonade. The idea is to start a micro business that accepts bitcoin as payment. It can be anything, like street foods and the like. The only disadvantage  of this one is the waiting time for confirmation and transactions fees for a very small item. Otherwise, this is a very good idea.

The limitation will be the " Accepting Bitcoin only " option... It will work in areas where there are a big concentration of Bitcoin users already, but in

areas where there are little acceptance, this will not survive. People are like sheep.. when they see other people paying with their phones, they will

start asking questions... but if nobody is doing it, they will not try it out. It's just the way it is..  ::) ... Give HUGE discounts for people who pay with

Bitcoin, and you will attract a lot more Bitcoin transactions.  ;)

I think you are right. By accepting only Bitcoin, you will not even get your business started, because people are not willing to make the effort of figuring out a new way of payment just to buy at your shop - unless you have a very exclusive and tempting offer (like $100 bills for $10 :D) they will move on to the competition. The Bitcoin-only way might also be perceived of pressing people to use that kind of payment which leads to disapproval or even suspicion as people generally want to feel like having a choice.

Buy accepting both fiat and Bitcoin you will attract all customers and especially those that have never paid with Bitcoin. Now you can talk to people and offer Bitcoin payments as an attractive alternative by offering significant discounts. It's much easier to convince people if they already know you have good products and are a nice and trustworthy person to talk to.

ya.ya.yo!

It's not a bad idea to sell lemonade for bitcoins but the implementation seems a bit complicated to me, because I think that these lemonades are not expensive and don't know if worth waiting for a confirmation until you deliver the lemonade to the client. Have you though about this, tried or anything else?

though it would make some return in my opinion, i think it is a really good idea and i would definitely not leave it and try to use it

You are not going to make much money by just selling some lemonade, we all know that it is not going to work especially when you are grown.
It can help kids because it looks cute when they do it but it is not going to work with grown men.

This would only work with cute children and maybe hot women but nobody is going to buy lemonade from a random guy for Bitcoin.
At least I would never buy lemonade for Bitcoin from a random guy.

I do not know who would sell lemonade for Bitcoin but I think that it is safe to say that you are not going to make any Bitcoin from doing that.
That is something that only works in movies with cute kids but not in real life.

Bad idea, wont work.

Besides a lemonade stand license is about 25000-50000$ so yeah, nobody is doing lemonades anymore thans to the regulators. But even if they were, this wont work, it's not a big business anyway ,even 100 years ago it wasnt a big deal.

A bigger market should be the target.

i think it is wierder than it looks btw what will happen if suddenly everyone started to trade at a doubled price than the currenct market price will that will effect the price or it will just make everyones loss and profit to the sellers rather changing a market's price is a lot harder than these cheap tricks

Well, sounds quite nice and funny. But a hodling person might end with lot's of bitcoins but no use of them, because one day it might be not that easy to exchange them to dollars.
And I guess people who buy some old tables, wardrobes and all that don't really know about Bitcoin.

The idea certainly is interesting. The main problem is to find buyers.

Yeah it may be a fun idea but we know that something like is is not going to work at all I would rather gamble then stand outside and try to sell lemonade.
I think that you are going to make max $1 if you are lucky.

for a simple layman, not a investor, I can recommend the following: with a convenient date and available a number of free money to buy a few coins and put them in cold storage in your wallet. Most importantly - do not expect that this investment in the near future will bring fabulous wealth. A time of rapid growth in the tens and hundreds of times as it was a few years ago, has already passed – then worked the so-called "low base effect" when the rise of prices of Bitcoin in the global economy were ridiculous. But now its market capitalization is measured in billions of dollars, so the astronomical growth will not b

This is good for investments if you accept bitcoins and cash at the same time. And I like the idea for giving discounts if they are going to pay using bitcoins because it could attract more people to buy something from you.

That is actually the better way of pushing bitcoin ahead in your society as the guy mentioned, to accept fiat as well and put some discounts on usage of bitcoin so that the customers would think of using bitcoins instead of fiat as it has a discount and that will encourage them to check it out and surely they will like it.

Where I live, you wouldn't get much business selling something for bitcoins at a lemonade stand or yard sale. Not that it's not a good idea overall, but there don't seem to be many people where I live that know about bitcoin.

As mentioned previously, BTC has many ways of being used in the real world... But to get it to work on the localized level would be difficult.

Yes you could have a farmer / lemonade stand with a QR code reader to then process transactions that way, it would be logical failure (meaning sounds good, but would reap nothing.)

Out of every business 1/175 transactions would be done without requesting that payment to be in crypto so it sounds believable to need to wait for more momentum before thinking about starting small services for Bitcoin.

Don't be surprised even VISA or MasterCard are 57/175 separately.

I know, as people are not used to pay bitcoin in real life like in stalls or hawkers.It needs more technicalities,takes time to process or several minutes for confirmations. But,one day,I hope this will be solved,no waiting time for clearing.

It would not still  a problem  though as long  you can see the  tranfering  status  you could already assure that those bitcoins would  go to your wallet because as we all know that bitcoin transaction are  irreversible means  we couldnt able  to cancel  or  get back  our coins that weve sent.

A good laugh. Lol.

Kids will not going near you once they see accepting only bitcoin. They might even curse you.  ;D

Or the better part. Their parents will have to buy bitcoin to afford the said lemonade which will be good for bitcoin industry.  ;D

It might be a classic idea but I do not think that this is going to help anybody to make some serious money with bitcoin so it is better to just invest.
Maybe that it would work with kids but you van then just ask real money for it.

well, first of all I don't think OP was meant to say literary start selling lemonade to earn bitcoin, it is more like do anything you can to earn while advertising bitcoin to the real world too.

and the funny thing about this is that I think you can actually earn a lot more money by selling lemonade in your front lawn than you can earn from faucets.

I am so sad there's no one selling lemonade on a table where I live.

Its great to hear that you are accepting bitcoins. I hope in our place we had a place where bitcoins are accepted.this is the best way to do so.
