Title: Pushing mass adoption - suggestion
Post by: gjgjg on January 19, 2014, 04:06:26 PM
Id urge anyone with a twitter account and some spare time to start innocently asking retailers if they are planning to accept Bitcoin (particularly in the regions where its more accepted by 'the man' than other areas).

One area that would be easier than retailers is person to person sale forum boards / websites where all they have to do is allow it as an accepted for of payment BY THE USERS, since the site doesnt need to police that or support it in its own accounting systems per se. Similar to ebay giving users the option to accept paypal or cash or cheque from the buyers, why not a BTC option too?

I usually point them to coindesk articles where they can see the stories of other retailers accepting it.

If we keep the noise up and get more people doing this, we'll be heard. Even if its one tweet per person per day. Maybe this can even be coordinated a bit? Whos in?!

Anyone else have any sectors that they suggest should be targeted by simple twitter or customer service queries?

PS sorry if this was brought up before, but dont really see a thread on it.

What is this doing in the goods section? haha This is for items for sale.

I don't know how effective it'll be tweeting retailers, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try.
