How many times have you came in a store and asked whether or not they accept bitcoin when you wanted to pay?

Should we do that EACH time we visit ANY store?
Would we create a huge advertisement for BTC that way?

Would stores start accepting it when they encounter a couple of people on a weekly basis asking them if they accept bitcoin?

Should we start doing this? o.o
Should we create a community so hard core that asks for everything they pay if it could be handled in BTC?

Not necessary.

It's fine if people asked a request for a first time but it will be annoying if it will be done lots of times. Let them received lots of demands by different persons. Let the process flows automatically and see if stores will consider accepting crypto in the future.

Even they will received lots of requests about accepting bitcoin in their stores, still it will goes thru a process of brainstorming if that is a must thing to be implemented.

Trust the Process.

I didn't mean you should go in the same store a dozen times and ask them each time if they accept BTC, I just meant the first time :D

I think this some interesting idea, If we ask BTC payment they will think that Bitcoin payment and also this is some kind of marketing idea  ;)

my country bans crypto, but government decisions are not firm, so we can still use bitcoin for crypto trade. but, the problem is not that.

how the store will accept crypto, while the government bans it, and even many people still do not know about bitcoin.

so, the community's job is not to force, but to spread the benefits of bitcoin to the public.

No. It's just not ready to go that far. Nonetheless how much we would like it to be, it's just not even near there.

I've read literary like hour ago that MasterCard is step forward with crypto and embracing it bit by bit and when those big companies get a grip of it we (crypto enthusiasts) are on the safe side further on. :)

only if you REALLY want to spend your bitcoins. otherwise if you just want them to accept bitcoin and then you continue to hold/trade your bitcoin then don't bother the stores. because there is no point for them to go through the trouble of setting up a system to accept bitcoin and then nobody spends their coins or does it once or twice and then no more.

but if you really want to spend your coins then why not. the shops have to see the demand for it first then start accepting it.

if the store is an online store, maybe I'll ask it, but if it's a physical store, I'm afraid to ask it
I still doubt, about the size of people who use bitcoin as a means of payment

If we do this and it succeeds on a large scale, it is harmful to the Bitcoin network, thousands of transactions will take place in the second and therefore higher fees.
Higher fees ----> Panic in the markets ----> Little returns from using bitcoin "I can’t pay 3$ fee to buy a coffee" -----> Price Crash.
My answer is no; Bitcoin is now more suitable for international transactions and not for daily use.
If technical changes occur, the situation will change

It has been known that bitcoin around the world I think today is still big enough to raise bitcoin right now and there are many ways to use bitcoin today but my online shop only knows that the bitcoin acceptable.

I have asked once to a store branch. I know the store accept BTC because I have once bought to them using bitcoin. After some time I travel to a nearby city where I saw the same store in the city and so I expect them to also accept BTC but they aren't. I reasoned why and told them that a store branch is accepting BTC, they should also do it. The guy standing behind the cashier stall just shrug his shoulder and does nothing but accept my cash.

I have seen some people in my country accepts bitcoin as payment but most of these stores are very small and they have limited customers. I doubt people here in my country would even say they have bitcoins because government is raiding houses all the holder of bitcoins and make them pay taxes.
It's good to create a community if your government regulated bitcoins and it will surely benefit not only bitcoins but the entire crypto currency.

Im tol shy with this kind of offering but for the first time i made asked a store in a mall if they are accepting bitcoin because there comes a time that my credit card was on my mother to use for something and i forgot this until im on the cashier to pay.and luckily one of the cashier knows about crypto and offered me to send her the bitcoin and she will cover the cash ,but i never do that again since that day lol

I like your story buddy. And apparently, you are truly lucky in your situation. But while reading your comment, I was really hoping that the Bitcoin payment method will implement to the different stores, since as the days goes by, the Bitcoin users is really increasing in numbers.

I take this one step further. If I asked them and they said no, then I spring into action and start giving advice on how to accept Bitcoin and to debunk all the myths that surround it. I basically do not accept no for a answer, because there is no negative side for them in doing this, other than a little time to train their staff. <I even avail myself to train the staff for free, if it comes down to that, because it only takes +/- 30 minutes>

Go the extra mile and you get another merchant where you can spend your bitcoins.

Agree with this statement, I've heard DougPolk (famous crypto youtuber) talked about how some poker website accepted bitcoin payment after a lot of people asked about it.
And then, it turns out no one paid with bitcoin.
I think it's better to use bitcoin in the p2p transaction, for paying friends or family overseas.
As for the merchant, we need more bitcoin-based company and bitcoin Jesus.

I think they will be informing their customers is they will be accepting Bitcoin or other crypto currencies in their store. That will be a good idea to one of my country's city but I don't think it will be that popular.

In my country, a lot of Bitcoin scams and frauds are happening and I think that brought a damage to some people that are maybe, trying to go or invest their money into crypto currencies. Since there are a popular exchange of Bitcoin in our country that can send BTC or PHP without a fee, that will erase the problem to the fee but the problem lies within the people who will be using it.

I think it will depend of country of where you belong because here in our country if the establishment will accept Bitcoin as payment then there is a Bitcoin logo posted in the door saying that they are accepting Bitcoin as payment just like VISA and Master Card in which it was posted everywhere. Maybe Bitcoin is not really popular in your country in which majority of the establishments are just accepting fiat and credit cards only

That is actually that I can do every day as it doesn't take much effort and by this way bitcoin will also be advertised and they will also think that bitcoin is having a real life use so even they wouldn't be accepting then also they would take accepting bitcoin into consideration. So by this way every member could contribute in the large acceptance of bitcoin and when the store start accepting bitcoin then they would also stick bitcoin accepted here posters outside their store and that will also be seen by many other stores.

I have asked multiple online stores/services to accept bitcoin. for example I have sent messages to Steam support back in 2015 and asked them to accept bitcoin. I would like to believe that all these requests from users like me made them accept bitcoin eventually (sadly they stopped last year due to high fees).
the same thing can be done with any other merchant out there. we need to show them there is demand but at the same time not to spam them!

As for that, first the government should accept and trust crypto, bitcoin actually, with this they can encourage entrepreneur or businesses to accept bitcoin as a medium for paying something. As we can see, using bitcoin can make every transactions more easier that before, no more nonless, because every transactions you will do it will be recorded to your account. And moreover bitcoin can make our lives easier.

Well as you probably now, Bitcoin is still being siphoned into mainstream conversation. This means that not everyone is going to know about the workings or uses of cryptocurrency just yet. It's not like people would just willingly switch from forms of payment that they're comfortable with and trust to a system that they can't even physically work with and haven't encountered yet. Give it some time; stores will gradually catch onto the cryptocurrency wave and start adapting to the changing market.

Here in my country some banks and establishments started and supports bitcoins,and i think better ask to some stores why not?maybe they will accept  ok! Its up to you if you spread crypto payment because it is acceptable in some ways.

if alone i think its too hard, maybe we can use the community arround the world, or the big plan like makes the payment gateway with ICO Project, to make this happen,  to makes the all stores in the world use the bitcoin as their payment

if you many asking about bitcoin transactions, I think you only will get them bored, because that is not the way to make them receive bitcoin.

if crypto has been accepted by the public and got support from the government, I think the store will also accept crypto.

What? o.o
Nigga

You just said more adoption is harmful for BTC o.o

You high or something?

That is a little bit fun for me cause in my country when somebody see the sign that this shop accept crypto he take the photo, put this for example on facebook and everyone is making big eyes and saying where is this shop, we need to visit it so nowadays in my country it is not that popular as it could be.

Actually as far as I i remember I read some statements in this thread that there is exciting store or establishment that accepts cryptocurrency  coins, but is not yet confirmed where and what store accept crypto coins as mode of payments.

It‘s a good idea, indirectly it will make them think to accept Bitcoin as a tool of payment but I still doubt it considering the price is still wildly unstable. The amount to pay may change at any time.

If it's online store then i think i can ask but if it's face to face i doubt i would mention it because here in my country it isn't really that famous for using bitcoin as a payment in physical store

I think that you only spend a lot of time, let alone in a country that bans bitcoin, so, I do not think there are any stores that accept bitcoin payment. we understand that bitcoin is the solution, but for some people bitcoin is a problem.

so, your actions will only spend a lot of time, stop asking and start spreading bitcoin to the public.

Yes, I have asked several stores already here in my country if they accept bitcoin. I don’t know but I just want to know if they do and if they are familiar with it and if they gain interest after I ask. But sad to say that they do not accept it as payment of their goods. Some store owners said they don’t know what is it. Others say they simply don’t accept. While others say stay away from bitcoin because it is a scam I will lose my money if I continue and someone else get rich and left me moneyless.

I don't do it anymore, if there's no sign of "BTCitcoin Accepted Here" I won't ask.

Before I do this but most of the stores that I asked doesn't have an idea on what I'm saying so I don't do it as I've said. I'll only receive the same answers.

No need to do that, once the government steps in that's a free advertisement.

There's a possibility, "due to popular demand".

Not really but time will come this will happen gradually.

   I think you don't need to asked the store  if they accept bitcoin because if they really accept bitcoin they will make a banner and put it in front of their store just to inform people that they are accepting bitcoin as payment. I think also that there is no small stores that accept bitcoin only online store. But maybe someday for the continues improvement of bitcoin other stores will also accept it as payment.

for now it is very difficult to find what you want because there are still many countries that have not officially launched bitcoin as a currency that applies as a means of transaction if all countries have legalized bitcoin of course can happen

Its an interesting idea, i think it could definitely help at least bring more awareness to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency
On a nice note, I have been positively surprised by some small local business accepting Bitcoin!  

I agree with you, so the main factor that blocking bitcoin growth is the bans of the country. we need a good response from the state, and regulation can make bitcoin payments received in every store.

I know that this time will also come for bitcoin but in present time the bitcoin is not that much successful that any supermarket or any large store will accept bitcoin and moreover there are not that much people or I should say that people are not that much aware that they will ask any store whether they accept bitcoin or not, in present time, people only knows bitcoin as a means of trading and investing and that’s all and for the world wide acceptance of bitcoin, we should first create awareness among people.

In this case I don't have any problem and I just like the way of approach. In fact this is a good way of using bitcoin you must ask first the store before offering your bitcoin. Well if I were you I would ask the seller if he accepts bitcoin so that I may use my bitcoin is a right way. I think this is a good idea and should be copy by other holders.

Talking about this case I agree that we should always ask the store first before offering our bitcoins. Well that's a nice approach that we should do and in fact we can inform them what bitcoin is. By doing that I really think we can make use of our bitcoin efficiently. Upon doing that I think we can use bitcoin js many transactions.

today there are quite a few online store shops that gladly accept bitcoin as payment!

If you are shopping online, you can think about it. If not, that's waste your time because even bitcoin is popular now, it still not considered as a official currency

it's definitely good to start asking stores to accept cryptocurrencies, because that's usually the only way to attract their attention as there is a demand for it, unless shop owners are crypto enthusiasts.

I think asking stores if they accept bitcoin as a payment is a good idea so that you should know what store acvept it. Actually there are some store that accepting bitcoin as a payment.

If the shop owner is also investing in bitcoin as we do, I think he will easily accept Bitcoin as a form of payment in his store. But this is very unlikely because I have asked more than 20 stores. But these stores do not accept Bitcoin

Stores can only accept Bitcoin when Bitcoin is legally recognized by the government. I would not go to the store to inquire about this issue while my country is still stricter with to using Bitcoin for billing purposes.

It might not have a great impact but at least we should try, these smaller impacts combined can make them think about BTC and create an acceptance among everyone.

Bitcoins are taking over the crypto-currency marketplace. They’re the largest and most well-known digital currency. Many large companies are accepting bitcoins as a legitimate source of funds. They allow their online products to be bought with bitcoins.

With the extreme facilitation of transfer and earning of bitcoins, it would be a mistake not to accept these new-found online coins as cash. With a fluctuating value, the funds can either help or hurt the company.

I think it's not necessary to ask if they accept bitcoin because if ever they accept bitcoin they will do something, or some averting so that the client will know.

Overstock. I was not an issue because many fintech companies issue CC mainly UK based.Unfortunately Visa and MC had retired their support to these Fintech startups, leaving very few spaces where spend Cryptos directly without Change it into Fiat. The most realiable and famous: Overstock

A store in Latvia today had a sticker on the door, saying you can pay in crypto: Bitcoin, Eth and something else. And a big sign at the cash register. That would save your question )

To be honest, I didn't tried yet but I am thinking to do it whenever I have a time for a vacation. I will visit some large stores like supermarkets maybe or restaurants and ask them if they are accepting bitcoin or they know something about bitcoin.

I think store owners who doesn't know about bitcoin will be curious about it if people will start to ask them regarding the acceptance of bitcoin and maybe they will do a quick research about it and maybe they will accept it in the future.

But for me, instead of accepting bitcoin I think they need to use another coin that has faster tx speed.

an idea of good bitcoin promotion. If you go to the store and ask such questions, they will ask what is bitcoin? Maybe they want it and accept payment by bitcoin. But I think if you do it by yourself, the effect will not be high. We should advertise bitcoin through the media more effectively

There is no harm in asking about it but I don’t think so that using Bitcoin in stores for everyday purchases would be possible owing to the lack of adoption of Bitcoin. There is still a huge amount of population who are not aware of the cryptocurrency market. Even many stores will also be unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies. I hope that a time come soon when we can use Bitcoin for such routine activities.

I have tried asking this question in some physical stores. I remembered asking a pc parts store near me, if they would want to accept Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency as payment for the hard disk drive that I bought to them. They said no but also said that maybe they will in the future. So yea, asking is not a crime so why not, as long as your government allows cryptocurrency transactions, you are not violating any rules/law. But this is not necessary, let the huge businesses starts to accept cryptocurrency and small businesses will surely follows.

I never tried asking stores if they accept bitcoin. Becaaise as far as i know. No stores here in our country accept bitcoin as a payment.

Yes, by doing this, you are creating more awareness to some peoples who doesn't know about bitcoin.
Later they will find about bitcoin, and there is a chance they gonna use cryptocurrency as well.
Nothing hard core, just a little chit chat with the store keeper, ask if they know about btc and accept is as a payment or not

Since people in my country is not so aware about conditions in outside of my country then I don't ask such thing, maybe in Malaysia I will ask such thing but here in Indonesia people are likely prefer like to use rupiah rather than bitcoin because it is more safer.

Yes, but sometimes I feel embarrassed, I once visited a big shop and I asked if the store accepted bitcoin, it turned out the cashier was confused and laughed.

There is no harm in asking, the infrastructure for accepting bitcoin as payment is already there. Soon we will be asking if they take ethereum as well as bitcoin.

In Thailand they accept bitcoin a lot and so many country they have like a atm bicoin now,bitcoin has become very popular now  ;D.

We should definitely try it, people need to made understand that customers are preferring BTC over real money and thus creating awareness among them.

online yeah but not many stores in real life accept bitcoin. you can find quite a few online stores though

Stores that receive payments with bitcoin certainly exist. but in my opinion, it will be in a country that has legalized bitcoin to be a payment transaction.

Before you ask some stores if they accepting bitcoin, you should ask yourself these questions, Are they aware of bitcoin? Is it possible that they will accept bitcoin without the notice of the government? Is our country accepting bitcoin? Do you think that store could accept bitcoin or other cryptocurrency and many more. Before you ask some stores about it ask yourself first maybe later on you would be ashamed if they will return the question to you because they do not know what you are talking about.

Those stores who can be ask to accept bitcoin is the store who exactly know what bitcoin is, it is really hard to accept a currency you didn't know how to use.

I have a small coin which is from stainless steel that I have bought in Chinese market it is a simple collectible that it looks like bitcoin physical representing so I am always joking about "do you accept those"?

I think, that it is a good idea to promote Bitcoin worldwide!

It's a good idea but Bitcoin is banned in my country, stores can not accept bitcoin  when the bitcoin banned by government.but if the government accepts bitcoin this proposal will be a great deal for Bitcoin's growth.

which I know while blm there is a shop in indonesia who want to receive bitcoin and blm there is a shop on line dindonesia who want to accept bitcoin as a means of payment .

This is not necessary to do but this could help us mainstream bitcoin into the community. Some local store operators does not have and idea of what is bitcoin all about and if we make a group in our areas who are bitcoin holders and we visit a certain stall one at a time, the store owner will be puzzled and be curious about bitcoin. Then that will be the start for him to either to accept bitcoins or not. But in some way it is really helpful.

This is a good marketing idea for bitcoin, if we go on store and ask them they accept bitcoin as a payment then Merchant will be surprise what is bitcoin. yes this is good initiative for bitcoin and for its future, if E commerce sites and merchants start accepting bitcoins then peoples will be more interested for bitcoin. many big companies like SAMSUNG,BMW already announced they accepting bitcoins.

Until now there is no such establishments or any store in my country who really accept bitcoin as term of payments, maybe in some other countries it was already happened, hopefully there is a total implementation of bitcoin that use as term of payments by any establishments worldwide. But high percentage of bitcoin users who really believe that bitcoin soon will surely use as term of payments like a medium of exchange, although it is only a form of speculation and prediction but I do believe that it will surely happen soon.

If they want a store accept using bitcoin it's easy to use and if you want to buy you scan your wallet and surely secure  and it's okay for that.

If we want to us Bitcoin for our purchase,  then I would not hesitant to ask a specific store if they accept Bitcoin as payment.  But usually,  establishment have a special announcement near the cashier or at the entrance if they accept Bitcoin. I haven't seen yet an establishment yet in my country but I am looking forward that this will happened.

 I never asked that stupid question. Because I know they will look at me as strange objects

Well, not easy in my country actually, because not really many people has known bitcoin yet so far even the store. Well I've heard that you can do a payment in KFC by using bitcoin but I don't know if it does happening in my country.

My countries stores don't accept that bitcoin.but some some countries stores legely accept this coin.bitcoin soon  surely use as of payments in my country.i m sure slowly slowly bitcoin accept all of stores.

I do it most every time I shop. And online, if you don't take bitcoin you are not getting any money from me. The stores that have said yes love me.

Since my government are against cryptocurrency, it's very rare to see any shop at my country that accept cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrency still consider as criminal money ! When I heard some EU zone already using btc ATM as transaction, it's really great to see it happen because when their government can support cryptocurrency, they also support it for world wide !

I do not see much sense in taking bitcoin in stores, bitcoin is not yet developed enough to be at this level. Now it is much more convenient for me to translate kryptovlatyu into fiatnye dengi and pay for my purchase. But this does not mean that in a few years it will not be possible to pay any of our purchases !

I do not think so. Not just any store accepts payment with bitcoin, because the store must have a system that supports bitcoin. Certainly the store gives information that can make payments with bitcoin if indeed the store can.  Don't we think that payment with bitcoin can harm us. We don't know a few days or next week the price of bitcoin is rising, or maybe you want to spend your bitcoin bitcoin. Though I think bitcoin price in the future can soar, because the supply begin to thin.

if I'm not sure gan. but the market that I often use to invest in digital bitcoin is INDODAX and HIT BTC, bro. if I choose INDODAX because in it I can invest using rupiah (IDR)

I do believe that it is not plausible that bitcoin already accept in any stores. Base on some information that i’ve read here in bitcoin there some  stores that they accept bitcoin but it is not acceptable in any stores.

The transaction fees incurred on credit card and debit card transactions are comparatively higher than what one would spend in bitcoin and cryptocurrency transactions. I think it’s kinda cool when a store accepts this new payment method. Crypto is an entirely new kind of payment option, which, in its added value to the market, you could compare to PayPal several years ago. If a company is ‘progressive’ and ‘forward-thinking’, then it should accept Bitcoin. And besides, people should actually use these coins in order for it to officially become a virtual currency, right?

I have read an article or a topic that there are some establishments or stores who are accepting bitcoin as their payment to their bills. But theres are some are not accepting. I have read that there are lot of people who are hoping that bitcoin will develop and be a legal currency and being accepted as a payment. This will allow us to minimize our time and energy because of its easy and comfortable transaction.

if you have a Bitcoin Visa they already accept it. XD

I'm quite hesitant to ask that question when I'm on the counter. Maybe because i already know what will be their answers. But i really really want to ask them. OP is quite right. How will merchants accept bitcoin if no one ask it? I hope I'll get the courage to ask that question.

There is no need to do this.  8)If the BTC is really accepted, the stores will accept BTC payment as one of the advertisements.

Its better to ask stores if they accept bitcoin because it is not totally accepted to all. For now I only know few stores who accepts bitcoin. Hoping it will be accepted to all soon.

I've never ask before because I see in our country if they are accepting other than fiat is they have an logo of it with advetisement on how will you use it as a payment method. However store who accepts bitcoin nowadays are in social media so if you are browsing on it you might see it or your friend share it.

my country does not legalize bitcoin for payment, that's why not many shops here know bitcoin. But fortunately the web and bitcoin systems are not blocked here so I can still use them for investment and sell them when I need something.
It's a good idea if the store accepts payments with bitcoins but I think it would be wise to pay in the applicable currency.

Companies who owns stores should have at least promote signage that they accept bitcoins. I think asking is very inconvenient. Stores should promote easier way of payment. With such experience from costumers, I think it is already a burden. Stores should be the one to provide consumers a easier way of payment.

In my opinion, I think it is not a bad idea if we can do it. If I visit shops and malls myself, I usually ask them if they accept bitcoin as means of payment. Its quite convenient for me and us all to make payments using bitcoin

only few store are accepting bitcoin in the real life including the pizza store , house and lot and condo in some countries. but in the online shop. there's so many site that accept it. and one of the most good site is the amazon. bitcoin would be difficult in terms of use is as money to real world because it is only a digital currency.

Actually I've tested it, When I was asked in a convenience store I asked the cashier if they accept it bitcoins. In fact I'm sad because even though popular and many people use bitcoin it is still not accepted in stores. I'm sad because I think that bitcoin is up to this point and will not be accepted at other stores.

Its not neccesary to ask a store to accept bitcoin if they accept physical money.I think it the store is a online store maybe i'll do that.

For sure first time visit to store they always like to create a first impression by attending to the customer is lovely manner. While the customer is receiving such special treatment he or she can just ask "do you accept bitcoin as a payment method" I tell you if more persons keep asking that at there first time visit to a store is a great means to advertised bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.

I think it is unnecessary because if their store accept bitcoin for payment, they will announce it widerly.

Is is just right to ask the stores if they will accept bitcoin, because you are the customer, if they accept then they answer you in a welcome response so then you may ask any establishment, who knows they are already accepting bitcoin.

i think if store accept other payment, they will put announcement on their cashier or something like that. so customer can know with what they want to use as payment. but in my country i can't do that because bitcoin can't be used as payment in my country

Here in the Philippines Bitcoins name is so popular because I think Philippines is almost top of users of social media using computer and cellphones, so about the store to accept bitcoin is not yet as of now because our number one Big Store here in the Philippines is not yet involve of Bitcoin how much more in a any other small stores. so ASKING is not necessarily as of now I don't know after several months or years. If ever our government here is not recognized bitcoin anymore, all big store are no longer to accept bitcoin because all transaction has been made are with OFFICIAL RECEIPT.  

I never been had an experience like asking some stores if they are accepting Bitcoins as a payment, but I will be greatly glad if the stores in the country I belong already been using Bitcoin payment method. That would be much convenient and safe also.

I dare not ask that in my country as no store allows it. I might be able to strike such a deal by talking to owner privately but I do not have time for that.

At the moment, there are very few stores that support Bitcoin and altcoin! Bitcoin and altcoin are now considered as property, not currency!
Need more time to Bitcoin and altcoin may become the currency!

This is indeed a very great idea. This will probably boost the popularity of bitcoin, because more and more people.will hear about the bitcoin, or somewhat others may feel the courage to asked at the same time they will feel the curiosity and do some research. In this way we can encourage more people to lovw bitcoin.

this is a great idea, I love such experiments) however, you will need to briefly explain what it is. or explain your question by the fact that you seemed icon-sticker Bitcoin on the store window

We can ask the stores if they are accepting bitcoin. Or the store shoul put a signage that they are acceptinh bitcoin as payment just like the strategy of different credif cards there are signage that indicates that the stores accept cards as payment.

I think it's one way of promoting or introducing bitcoin in the society. It will probably open up possibilities that more merchants will be getting interested into it and will somehow try to explore what really bitcoin is when they hear it the first time. Bitcoin has been used already as a digital money for paying bills, buy loads, and online shopping here in our country. In order that bitcoin will exist forever, doing that way is one way of supporting it.

I think that is unnecessary to ask.
Because we all know that when you are in bitcoin industry. You must know all the stores or establishments who are accepting bitcoins.

i think establishments who accepts bitcoin as payment will have the knowledge about cryptocurrencies.They inform their valued customers or they offers bitcoins and other alternative coins as payments for their needs.This will make every transactions more reliable and convienient for everyone.Something will make our life more comfortable and hassle-free.So i think,this will be possible for the next few years which is more innovative and informative at the same time.

In USA overstock, dish, microsoft (limited), paypal, newegg, expedia, shopify.

Not many yet due to extreme btc volatility. We need to stabilize cryptos for this. there are various schemes, but nothing dominates yet.

Overstock. I was not an issue because many fintech companies issue CC mainly UK based.Unfortunately Visa and MC had retired their support to these Fintech startups, leaving very few spaces where spend Cryptos directly without Change it into Fiat. The most realiable and famous: Overstock

a store may receive a bitcoin payment after getting government approval, if it's only from a group of people I do not think that's possible

No need to work hard because Bitcoin is created not for compulsion.
Let everyone or shop open for Bitcoin naturally.

Maybe in the future little by little will receive payment for Bitcoin.

it depends upon the store owner if he/she knew about btc.if you think its the right time to sell your btc for the goods much better especially in low price.the store owner will be benefited.

I have never done it (ask if they accept bitcoin in a store). If vendors are not familiar with BTC or another cryptocurrency, they may become intrigued about the payment method people are asking about, and they might look into it. However, I think they will become discouraged when they learn about the speed, transaction fees and volatility of the currency, and might not be that willing to implement the system.

I never mean to pay by BTC at any stores, as the fee is high, and the process may not be simple I think.
It's better to just use BTC for investment, trading and holding.

And we can advertise BTC in another efficient ways !

I do not consider it an obstacle to the purchase of goods - the lack of shops with prices in Bitcoin.

Who needs to buy something and has Bitcoin, he simply converts them into the currency he needs and then buys.

This is just a small inconvenience. :-[

There are countries where the store receives bitcoin. for use on fees and other use for payment. but there is still a bitcoin that can not be paid.

That is useless thing for me, most of merchants in my cities are not technological people, they most of them don't uderstand bitcoin, I live in a village in Indonesia and most of thing include infrastructure here is not like other developed country which have advance technology.

Stores may accept Bitcoin payments, but the condition is that the government does not prohibit Bitcoin in that country. In addition, these stores need to have Bitcoin trading equipment and Bitcoin knowledge when trading with Bitcoin is still quite new.

I think if you are shopping online, you can think about it. If not, that's waste your time because even bitcoin is popular now, it still not considered as an official currency.

officially not yet  stores accept bitcoin but some people accept peer to peer transaction in store  if they have option to accept the payment mode but i wish hopefully soon some big stores started to accept bitcoin it helps people no need to bring the fiat or wallet or cards for shopping they can easily transfer the money through the bitcoin so simple and easy . in some countries  some market places  accept bitcoin  like peer to peer transaction only.

i think stores should use bitcoin as a payment cause bitcoin is gonna become the future payment cause with bitcoin the payment become easy and safe.

my country bans crypto, but government decisions are not firm, so we can still use bitcoin for crypto trade. but, the problem is not that,how the store will accept crypto, while the government bans it, and even many people still do not know about bitcoin.

Therefore, you should be smarter to guess out which physical store is receiving Bitcoin as a payment tool, like a big electronics store that should have understood or at least heard about Bitcoin after all if they didn’t understand they would find out about Bitcoin eventually.

Everything will come its way. Asking stores about bitcoins will not speed up the process of taking bitcoins. It does not depend on you, it is a global issue, and it will be decided at the level of governments and states.

Volatility is the most important factor for Bitcoin to raise its name, especially for speculators who only come to gamble, they also increase the price again and again when the bullish trend. The idea of ​​the economic revolution and the future tool of exchange is not interesting and important for them because it doesn’t bring profit, so why should you bother to take care of it.

Its not bad to ask stores if they are accepting bitcoin, everything will go with the flow with bitcoin, it will surely come to its own way but it will take a long time. I heard and read about stores that accepts bitcoin as a payment and I am hopeful that sooner or later everyone will be ask by the store cashier to pay with a crypto or fiat. Lets just be optimistic and promote crypto currencies especially bitcoin for our own convenience in the future.

i think when store accept bitcoin, they will put it on their announcement or we can see sign near cashier. But it will not happen in my country because my government ban bitcoin for payment

No need to ask if a store is accepting bitcoin as payment. That establishment would probably have a big neon sign that says it accepts bitcoin. Or it would be all over mainstream and social media.

 before we start asking stores if they accept bitcoin, we have to be ready to teach and enlighten them on what cryptocurrencies are. bear in mind  alot of people do not have an idea of this digital currencies, some must have heard of bitcoin but do not know how it works. but in all if we can be doing that we will definitely create awareness and cause more people to adopt crytptocurrencies.

I don't see anything wrong with this. Asking wouldn't do any harm anyways. This would even tickle their curiosity about crypto or Bitcoin in particular. I haven't tried myself, but this could be a good way to promote Bitcoin. I could just imagine the faces of these store owners when I start doing this. A few of them may even scratch their head!

That is not a bad idea. You can create more awareness about bitcoin and crypto to peoples if you do that.
Bitcoin should be used like a daily currency so the demands of it will increase much. If the demands high, the price will go up in the market.

at this time it can't do that, because we know that bitcoin has not become a legal and legal currency for all countries in the world if bitcoin is legal and legal to be a currency that can be used officially, maybe we will find a shop that can make payments with bitcoin

I think its hard to accept other stores bitcoin because its just a small stores and limited customers and when you says stores the countries are also included  and some government until now not accept bitcoin to their countries that why its possible to accept store a bitcoin.

I think if the store has received payment with bitcoin and other cryptocurrency, the store has already given a "accepted bitcoin" or other sign outside the store

It's the same as going to a certain business and promoting your webdesign services for example: "We can make your website 10 times better blahblahblah", but this time you will be saying stuff like: "You don't accept Bitcoins here? Do you know that thanks to BTC your sales can skyrocket in no time blahblahblah?" and done :D

I never asked that question because I'd never spend my Bitcoin on anything except exchangng it for an altcoin or dollars. Imagine buing something for Bitcoin worth 6000$ one day and the other day Bitcoin costs 7000$. That would be such a waste..

actually you don't have to bother asking a store whether they accept bitcoin, or not, but of course they will give a sign, or a symbol that they accept bitcoin. yeah, but maybe it would be better to ask them to strengthen their argument after seeing the sign.

Even if we'd ask for it in every single store, there still not enough of us to make this actions as effective as we imagine it. We need a mass adoption.

In the country where I live, this will be totally pointless. Most of the cashiers surely can't relate. I'm sure they've never even heard of Bitcoin before. And they mostly don't convey information up the ladder. So, your request might likely end with them. The strategy sounds really good though. Especially useful in better climes. Will most certainly yield great results.

It will be necessary and good to ask because it might even be that they don't know much about it which you will be the one to educate them on it. Also stores that accept BTC make sure they post it online for people to know about it. But you can also ask when you get there.

I asked just once a manager in a bank about bitcoin and about their plans towards this crypto currency. She looked at me as at insane that momen :D
But I do not see a sense to ask about bitcoin in shops. Because of every progressive businessman, the owner of the shop, would inform buyers about bitcoin payments by a sign on the front door or on cash place.

In my opinion, if merchant accepting bitcoin, they will put bitcoin logo in front merchant. In my country, its almost impossible spending our bitcoin to shopping because government regulation ban it

Though that seems to be unnecessary, it's also a good idea to ask if they are patronizing crypto so that they will also aware about the current ins for today if in case they don't have any idea about it. But cryptocurrencies' popularity may have already reached to them and it's only a matter of time before they will adopt the blockchain technology too.

bitcoin is prohibited as a legal payment instrument in many countries. so that almost all stores do not accept bitcoin as payment.
but there are several altcoins that are starting to develop as payments. like Vexanium which functions as a voucher, and now Vexanium has just begun collaborating with KFC. and in the future will work with many online stores.

I never ask a store if they accept Bitcoin as payment or not because it is already obvious. Usually they have a signboard on their cashier on what mode of payment are accepted.

You can ask any store if they accept bitcoin, but we don't know that they accept bitcoin if after you asking they will agree that you can buy any product to them through bitcoin. Its good when that happen but I think its possible because they not familiar to bitcoin, they don't know what is bitcoin that's why it hard to them to agree bitcoin.

Bitcoin is growing to such an extent that very soon, some retail stores will soon start accepting bitcoin as a means of payment. Some stores do it today and some and trying to follow suit.

I agree that the store will inform if they accept bitcoin so that you can use your bitcoin if buy some stuffs on that store. Asking the stores if they accept bitcoin is good idea simply because if you do not have enough cash and all you have is bitcoin you can ask that store if they accept bitcoin. Lastly, I think there is a big possibility that in the near future many store will accept and allow bitcoin as payment of their costumer.

This idea will work if we will consistently implement it. But it will be faster if any of the major front line shops like Walmart will accept bitcoin for payments of their goods. Once they make success of it, then other similar shops will follow and accepts bitcoin. The open market grocery sellers will also accept bitcoin and the spread and popularity of bitcoin will be noticeable.

Yeah, maybe they think it's so difficult to pay with bitcoin. Because the physic isn't real. And the price isn't stable. Maybe they will change their mind but it takes time not so fast. That will be good if they change their preception and want to accept bitcoin. And maybe this is a step what will make bitcoin better than before.

If your country does not ban bitcoin. I think this is a great way to advertise bitcoin. I think if you ask the question with many different stores. That's a great way to advertise bitcoin. And what you do is not in vain. Store owners can learn about this new payment method and they will accept future payments

 ;D ;D That would be weird.

This is a good idea indeed, this requires a bit of boldness but it would defintely make vendors to think of accepting cryptos. Otherwise if there is no demand for it, vendors are doing it only for pubilicty.

Also the other questions is how would they accept cryptos, by regular transactions? For every day products it takes too long  to do . We need POS therminals which use NFC.

it might sound a little difficult because not everyone knows about BTC, plus a small shop in the village, and also if there is a tool that can be used to transfer BTC instantly, and what is the proof of payment, can anyone to print proof of payment from BTC

I agree. The stores follow a specific policy, which is accepted widely in the business sector of the country where it is in or the place where it is built. Therefore, one can't impose or demand from them that they should accept cryptocurrencies as a mode of payment just because it is beginning to be recognized worldwide. I think that critical point for that to be a reality is if we will first focus on helping it grow in such a state that it will be widely accepted and be trusted by the masses that it would be given a chance to be accepted by stores or big chain businesses that would help it gain more reliability.

The future of Btc does not lie with Btc itself but its users. We can determine the stance of Btc 5 0r 10 years from now. We always wish for massive adoption but I don't think it can just happen out of the moon. We are the ones to push for that agenda by doing some of these things.

I think it's ineffective in a store that receives bitcoin. I think it will be published in the mass media and it will be an advantage for us because we don't have to ask the store every time.

That is a great idea. However, not only stores, but even bars and cafes. The more we ask businesses, the more people will get to know about the existence of bitcoin because there are too many businesses that do not know about it. Eventually, more people will be aware of it and they will start using it either for trading or investment. I would be glad than ever to ask this simple question to any store I go, and then spend 5 minutes explaining how bitcoin works.

I'm asking to almost every store that I generally go to accept BTC and main altcoins.
It's not really easy to implement that kind of payment system in every country, that's why it is really hard to spread. We need more innovations.

Usually the methods of payment in the store can be found on the site, most purchases in our days probably go this way. Therefore, it is not necessary to go and ask, although there are such situations.

I did not do it, because in my country I did not legalize bitcoin and that made it difficult for me to find a store that accepts bitcoin. Well, spending bitcoin will be easier by exchanging fiat money first.

This is a nice idea, asking stores to make bitcoin a payment option would go a long way making business easy and transactions transparent and fast but would they accept it or if asking them to know if they accept bitcoin payment would be OK they just might give it a second thought and  decide to make it an option for payment in purchase of goods and services rendered. If consistently done be asking asking them regularly it would make them to want to know more about it, how it works and what benefits they will derive from if for those that are not fully informed about bitcoin. And for those that are fully aware would give a try in it. I believe doing this would make  the local traders want to know more about bitcoin and this would be a channel to getting to the local community and letting them be involved in the crypto world.

The acceptance of bitcoin as a form of payment by large stores and commercial conglomerates is still far from happening. While there is strong volatility in BTC prices, many stores will remain afraid to allow this kind of payment.

This is good idea but we dont need to ask every week because I think its kinda annoying. But this will be difficult for those people who lives in a country that bitcoin was banned. We must accept that not all stores will accept bitcoin as a payment. They will take a long time process before they adopt bitcoin.

On my opinion i dont think that can recognize bitcoin by some store especially if the owner is too old to know about crypto maybe some store they recognized they name but they did not know how it works how can help and grow for thier store. But they advertise it in media i think it could be recognize.

bitcoin hasnt been ready to do it. high transaction fee makes it hard to be accepted in stores
next, there will be bitcoin lighting that change

Correct, it's not easy for those store to adopt the system as they needed to be familiar  with how crypto works and with this sway from the price its even adding the doubt from the business community to use it as a platform for their business transactions, maybe after some years when more people already understand and knew how to use this system, maybe market will follow we just needed to help the community to fully understand and embrace this innovation.

For me, I'm not going to ask if they accept bitcoin as payment. Because, if ever they accept bitcoin they've already posted it somewhere like on their door and even in the cashier corner,  to know right away if they do accepting btc.

To tell you a thing, some pawnshops here are already accepting bitcoin. But i didn't see stores yet, doing so.

it depends on which country we make a purchase, if in a country that has not supported bitcoin it can be ascertained that all shops do not want to accept bitcoin as a means of payment, but if we are in the United States, Japan, South Korea and more countries that support bitcoin, it is very maybe that the store there is willing to accept bitcoin as a legitimate medium of exchange. So we need to ask if we can pay with bitcoin ...

Yes sometime during my shopping at the big store here in my country I do ask them if they want to accept bitcoin for payment but unfortunately they didn't accept because  no bitcoin accepted here in big store but for any payment agency or remittance  here are absolutely they accept Bitcoin for payment.

This is interesting in my opinion, when we try to ask the shop owner about the use of Bitcoin as a payment tool to the shop owner. If I will ask, maybe I will just ask the online shop owner, because of the possibility of an online store to be able to accept payment using Bitcoin more open compared to conventional shop stores.

I think nowadays from several countries in the world, many have received payments using bitcoin, one of them is the Samsung platform and several restaurants that have received payments using bitcoin, but there are still many who have not received payment using bitcoin.

I have one idea: daily limit for accepting bitcoin.
For example every day shop accept 0.05 btc, this good for shop owner they can control shopping and peoples dont buy all for crypto.
And who want buy for crypto try faster make their shop.

maybe in some countries that have legalized bitcoin can do as you say but in my country it can't be done because the government still prohibits it as an official transaction

Yes, there are already a number of countries that have begun to implement digital currency systems and they have allowed the circulation of bitcoin. But as we know that only a few countries have done this. But this is a good start because everything must start from the small thing and then it will continue to increase and the greater the scope.

Stores that accept Bitcoin payments are still just a few, but if I look online, I am very confident to say that many e-stores have started to implement Bitcoin in the financial system of the store / company.

Its simply ,if the demands are high then the store owners won't have a choice but to start receiving Btc as means of payments ,and some stores are already using bitcoin ,its very right in my own eye to ask stores to start receiving bitcoin,we are all preparing for the future aren't we?

SOmetimes i do it just for fun. I ask the owner of a store if he accept bitcoins or any other cryptocurrencies. They always say no, and after that i say i want to buy some for some thousands of dollars, now i have to buy it somewhere else. One time some owner said he would establish cryptocurrencies payment in his store.

I think it is a great idea and I will definitely do that in the future. At that time every one of us needs to do something to support cryptocurrency because I believe here many of us here see their future wealth.

High percentage of bitcoin users who really believe that bitcoin soon will surely use as term of payments like a medium of exchange, although it is only a form of speculation and prediction but I do believe that it will surely happen soon.

Spread your knowledge about bitcoin instead. Talk to people, tell them how helpful it is, share the capabilities of using bitcoin and who knows, people might get interested on it.

In my country bitcoin is still illegal and should not be used as a payment instrument. Although in reality there are also some shops that accept payment with bitcoin. But as long as I know bitcoin for more than 2 years, I have never used or asked a particular store whether they accept payment with bitcoin.

same as in my country. in the past there were indeed many cafes and shops that facilitated payment using bitcoin on an island in my country, but were curbed by the government, and until now there were no more that news

In my city there are already shops that accept bitcoin as payment. If you are actively interested in the possibilities of payment by bitcoin, then most likely this possibility will be introduced. But do not forget about the disadvantages of active use of bitcoin - the cost of the transaction can start to grow strongly and as a result will make small purchases unprofitable.

Funny idea)But something in it is) I liked the post recently where the guy offered to call the company and offer them bitcoin cooperation) And what?)Why not?)Can we speed up the process of cryptographic enlightenment of the world?)I'm in!I like that idea!We can start!)Don't know how about regular stores,but online stores, you can now try.

Unfortunately, that probably will not happen to my country in the next few years because of the ban on electronic money exchanges. If paying by bitcoin then I think this is quite interesting. Who can list me countries that are exchanging Bitcoin, I am very interested

I am in a place where crypto is just new to hear and very few are earning from it. I do not try to ask whether they accept crypto as payment because it sound not good for them. I believe in the future, here will establish the new payment method and there is a group who will introduced crypto for them to be aware about it.

I think you are missing the point...

Good idea, just ask the once and if they say yes great if no say thanks and don't push it as that could be counter productive. If they have time explain about Bitcoin and it's benefits, if they are busy or obviously not interested again let it go and move on. By so doing we will create an interest in Bitcoin.

There is nothing wrong in asking. Thats a nice idea anyway because you can easily pay for the service or product that you buy. Since not all of stores accept bitcoin , we need to be understanding that some of them didnt use bitcoin.

These days, i have read articles about business establishments accepting bitcoins as payment method. Maybe now they are starting to recognize the use of electronic money such as cryptocurrency mainly the bitcoin. I guess all businesses can accept bitcoin the fact that they are decentralized also even paying taxes to the government, they should be focusing on what the cryptocurrency can bring to the future of financing.

I often do this whenever I go to shops, stores, and other places I frequently visit. It helps with the publicity since the people around me could hear what me and the attendant are talking about. The stores might even consider accepting it if they see that more people asks if they can pay through this method so its a win-win.

Actually in my experience I encounter different stores and stalls who accept bitcoin just like in China I saw some electronic store who accept bitcoin as their payment and there are some mobile repair and computer parts who also accepts bitcoin and also there are some mining rigs store that is actually pretty good that also accepts bitcoin as a payment I think it is awesome that even small stores accept bitcoin and it is very easy to transact with them.

all businesses can accept bitcoin not just stores. but awareness of accepting bitcoin is what many people have not yet applied, so I think it might be useful for many people if many companies or stores accept bitcoin.

I think asking stores and other establishments if they accept Bitcoin as a payment is a good idea. It is not because we only want to use Bitcoin as a currency but we are also promoting Bitcoin and opening up minds to new investors (owners of the stores) to accept, use and invest in Bitcoin. In this way, we can increase the publicity of Bitcoin to people.

Bitcoin is not used in all stores, but Bitcoin is currently using many countries around the world. I think the Bitcoin Bitcoin is selling Bitcoins when the Bitcoin market price decreases when many people buy Bitcoin and then store it and subsequently its market price increases.

Personally, I am not really likely to request when they take bitcoin because of repayment. Simply because, when these people take bitcoin they have currently submitted this someplace such as on the doorway as well as within the cashier part, to understand immediately when they perform taking btc. To inform a point, a few pawnshops listed here are currently taking bitcoin. However, we did not observe shops, however, doing this.

Yeah I experienced it, because one day I go to the store and buy some goods and then  I ask the clerk whether they are accpeting bitcoin, the clerk said,  yes sir we are accepting bicoin here in 7/11.

It is a good idea to talk bitcoin in public and tell how good it is to accept bitcoin as payment because it can be fast and easier to make payment. Also you do not need to get a cash first before you go to the stores everywhere. That change can benefit not only the customers but also the owners of the store. Hopefully they are going to accept and adapt bitcoin for their payment system.

I do not think that this may give the seller and you as a buyer a good conversation about bitcoin specially if you are to encounter those who do not even know or are not even aware that bitcoin does not exist. But somehow this may also be a good one since atleast through his people you actually educate them with what bitcoin is.

i never ask store that they accept bitcoin or not, but i love if the stores is tell us or announce that they receive the bitcoin payment, we all here is hoping like that, that bitcoin is can be used in all country and all stores, so we can use our bitcoin directly

No need to ask, if a certain establishment want to earn thru Bitcoin platform or any Crypto currency then they should be the one to put signage or any public display design that informing the people that they will receive Bitcoin payment. If they will not do this then they will probably to lose some potential costumers as there are some people that are hesitant to ask because they were shy.

Certainly, I believe asking stores whether or not they accept bitcoin as a mode of payment is one of the best ways to move bitcoin to the next level through advertisement. With this approach, we can easily introduce bitcoin to people who are new to the world of crypto.

I am sure that most cashiers in stores will look at you with great surprise. But if you ask every member of your family to do this every day, then maybe after some time the store cashier tells his boss that this is happening, and perhaps this will eventually lead to the store selling goods for bitcoins.

That is a good one and i have tried it twice or thrice and i ended up explaining and explaining, teaching what bitcoin is all about so i gave up.

Indeed it is not a bad idea to ask peoples if they accept btc or not. Everything to create awareness of btc and crypto is important.
to create an advertisement of btc is not an easy task. Bitcoin is not a new coin, they won't pay peoples who advertise it like new coins and new ICO's

I have never ask it, if they do there should be a signage outside or inside the store that they are accepting bitcoin or cryptocurrency, just like the sign that they accept visa or mastercard.

I think we don't need to ask again whether the store, accepting bitcoin or not ?, If he did accept bitcoin as the pay media, of course he already put the bitcoin logo sticker on it.


They may not be able to accept it if they don't have a bitcoin wallet, because without that where can the transaction be done.


We need, a cold hand from the government, so that everything can be realized perfectly or socialize it in a subtle way, for example by holding a meeting or something, basically they / the store owner must know what the benefits of bitcoin are.

This is a great strategy. I think if we ask shopkeeper on every visit of us about the bitcoin to make the payment with the use of it then after this incident shopkeeper will understand the importance of bitcoin and it will make the change, and hopefully, it will add another payment method for paying.

There are many stores now that accept crypto currency ,those stores are already familiar and accepting payments of bitcoin , maybe if there are stores that are already ready accepting bitcoin ,then you can inquire this stores if they are welcoming bitcoin as  payments.

In my country, bitcoin which is used as a payment instrument for financial transactions is illegal especially in offline stores, so it's useless to ask whether this store accepts payment with bitcoin or not. My bitcoin assets must be exchanged into local currency to be able to transact legally.

no wonder if it happens in China, their country has many miners, of course they are familiar with bitcoin and crypto, by accepting
payment with bitcoin, it will widen their market and target consumers. I hope my country will also become more aware of crypto

It is  great but that wouldn't make much of a difference. It will take a while before we get there. Those we may be asking may not have any idea about Bitcoin and they wouldn't necessarily improve in this regard just because we merely asked them if they accept Bitcoin as payment.

Instead of that approach, why don't we be the ones to push the revolution? Most of us on this platform have businesses. It would be great if we indicate conspicuously that we accept Bitcoin as payment. That way, we prove to people that Bitcoin is safe. I have already called an artist to design a small notice which indicates I accept Bitcoin as payment in my boutique. I want to walk the talk. I encourage others to follow suit. Let's do this, guys!

In my country, Bitcoin is not really banned though the problem is that I live in far away from the city the reason we are not really open to new technologies, we are not updated to what is the most popular technology is being the most attractive on right now.

With that, people are usually contented to the technologies that is here right now but now that people are being exposed to the internet and more and more people are getting the use of it, a lot of people are discovering new information that is still not on our place for example Bitcoin. Only a few know what is Bitcoin in our place the reason, it is really useless to ask stores if they accept Bitcoin.

If every tenth buyer will ask questions about whether Mashazin accepts payment for bitcoins, then any serious store will have to respond to this and give this opportunity for clients that customers are satisfied. But it is just provided that the current legislation of this country allows operations with cryptocurrencies.

In the amount of stores that I've went in, most of them offer these "e-wallets" wherein you'll just need your smartphone and just pay to scan, it's a little bit complex and long if I'd explain it here, but as far as I've went through, I actually have not yet seen any store here in my country that actually receives BTC as a payment method.

My experience is this - if you ask a store if they accept bitcoin, and they say yes, 9 times out of 10 they don't know how to use the software to organise payment anyway. So i very rarely ask unless if it very clear from their signs that bitcoin is accepted and people appear to know what they are doing

When I was abroad, in many countries there were already shops and various enterprises that accepted bitcoins, but at that time I could not pay with them, constantly when I go abroad, I ask various stores whether they accept bitcoins or other cryptocurrency or whether they plan in the future to do it and always I get positive answers about it.

It could only be possible if large merchants will finally accept Bitcoin, I really like to see the majority of the online merchants and stores accept Bitcoin my host used to accept Bitcoin but after the price goes down and the transaction fee took to long to complete they disable it.

This might turn a good innovation for the stores itselves. If they are getting good amount of customers asking about bitcoin payment than they would surely like to give bitcoins a try. But to creat such situation we need a well educated store manager who can understand about bitcoins and can trade them easily.

Also a lot of peoples would be required who are well educated in terms of bitcoins. Currently in my location i do not have such peoples highly located here so it is really impossible for me to ask in any store about bitcoin payments. The shop keeper will simply refuse me for it surely.

I would surely like to give a try in a country where a majority of bitcoiners reside in a particular place. This could than make bitcoins much popular at that place and also many shops might start accepting bitcoins.

It is okay to ask you the stores but boring them with same question may sound ridiculous. There are a lot of factors responsible for the limited number of merchants accepting bitcoin today. I am sure that merchants accepting bitcoin will increase as bitcoin users skyrocket.

I think this is actually interesting. The fact that there are certain stores wherein they accept cryptocurrencies is such innovative. I don’t see anything wrong about asking each store if they accept cryptos as a payment but never ask the same store otherwise it’ll get annoying.

I often go to store but it did not happened that I asked the cashier if they are accepting any kind crypto as a payment to their product and I think we should not always do that. If they are accepting, i think they are the one who will ask the customer if the customer woukd like to pay crypto or what.

Advertisement regading btc ? Hhmm . It will have both positve and negative effects and lots of consequences since not all people or Government is pro to crypto.

It is not necessary. You can't just asking shop to shop wether they accept bitcoin payment or not. It would be so annoying. I think the stores would have a sign to let bitcoin users know that they are accepting bitcoin as a payment.

For stores to accept Bitcoin payments, it needs to depend on a number of factors. Bitcoin needs to be accepted for use in that country and it must be well-known that it is applied to the payment of the goods. If Bitcoin is allowed to be used for payment, it is good news for Bitcoin users.

I think this is a good idea, it will raise the popularity of bitcoin among sellers. If there is demand there will be an offer. It is a pity that not every country can use bitcoins. Hopefully this will change in the near future and any person will be able to pay for the purchase by bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies.

I like your idea. This bitcoin advertisement is quite interesting. But it will not affect much. I think the most effective way is to advertise bitcoin through the media and send  positive message about bitcoin to get support from the government. The government's decision on bitcoin has a positive impact on people and helps people know more about bitcoin.

it is not a matter of that, of course a store will choose money directly rather than bitcoin because money is the daily needs of the shop owner. of course the shop owner also needs learning and understanding if bitcoin is accepted in a store so that it doesn't confuse how to use it.

Now, there is no need to ask it even. You can find in Google the list of the stores that take Bitcoins and some other popular cryptocurrencies. Casinos also inspire gamblers to pay with BTC.

I don't need to ask, because there are no shops in my area that accept payment using bitcoin, and I prefer to change to fiat if I want to spend it.

sometimes i do ask stores if they accept bitcoins as payment. some say they are thinking of it but most say they dont. but the good thing is that there are already a steady growing number of stores and companies accepting bitcoins for their items or trades. i m hoping that more companies will see the advantages of accepting bitcoins

What a genius idea! Yes, all is in our hands so let's make our payment process comfortable for us. The stores need to realize how powerful is bitcoin and how many users it has and adapt their selling process accordingly. Stores need to make a purchasing process convenient to their customers and increase their satisfaction with a service. Businesses that will take this action will be ahead of time and their competitors at the market.

It is not a bad idea and i like the way you tagged the act as hard core really. Though i'm sure that most big establishments are on to it, you're idea might just create a progressive ripple effect, an advertising that looks silent yet deafening.

Sometimes, intentional marketing at a personal level can be as much effective as headlines and billboards. Imagine the buzz it could create should each enthusiasts campaign for bitcoin for a certain period of time. Some might see this as far fetched and very little, but i think it's worth a shot to stir great interest among the public.

It's not a bad idea what's you're suggesting, to be honest I never asked a store if they accept bitcoin but usually in Yelp for example you can see that kind of info, it actually says "Accepts bitcoin" and "yes/no", it would be nice if they add a filter for that.

Yes I think so also, not because theg received many request about paying using bitcoi I think still they wont going to accept it. There are some rules that it needed to follow first. We all bitcoin are all hoping that it will happen in the furure where bitcoin can be used widely and easily and we doesnt need to convert it into fiat anymore.

At present, some companies are trying to use digital currency. This means that digital currencies are making some progress in traditional payment scenarios. Despite the low demand for payments using digital currency, people are also preparing for new market trends and forms of trading.

Of course, it may be too early to talk about the future of digital currency as a means of payment. As digital currencies become more regulated, market participants will slowly learn about digital currencies and try to work with them.

In my country, cryptocurrency is forbid if used for payment in any merchant. Our government dont have regulation about cryptocurrency and thats why there is no merchant accepting cryptocurrency.

Asking stores if they accept Bitcoin will be a good strategy for introducing Bitcoin to the local marketers and stores. Irrespective of the nature of the product being sold, Bitcoin can facilitate the payment of every good and service.

in my country people that use cryptocurrency like bitcoin just little, i think they are that know about the technology and like to browsing to get info from the internet, beside that i think nobody use the bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, so i never ask people in the store are they use bitcoin or other cryptocurrency for the payment
