I found a Bitcoin restaurant in my neighborhood

[akuntester1]

It's Christmas and I'm back in my hometown to spend the holidays with my family and friends. Today we decided to have lunch at a local restaurant. I was shocked to see the interior walls of the restaurant decorated with Bitcoin stickers, banners and bitcoin wallet ads. I didn't expect to find this in a small town, I was excited to show my friends how practical Bitcoin is. We placed our orders and when the bill came I asked if I could pay in bitcoin. The waiter stared at me with a blank face as if nothing I said made sense. Clearly this guys do not accept Bitcoin payment. I was furious...no disappointed...I quietly asked to see his manager, the lady came to see what the problem. I asked her why they wouldn't accept Bitcoin payments but have the walls decorated with bitcoin stickers, banners and crypto wallet  ads. She explained they have some sort of franchise deal and get paid for keeping the ads on the wall but they don't really know how Bitcoin works or how it can positively impact their business. I could sense she wanted to learn what I knew, but it wasn't the time and place for a Bitcoin lecture. Instead, I invited her for Christmas dinner and promised to teach her Bitcoin.
Merry Christmas everyone

For the ad banner I was not so surprised.
Currently there are many sponsors related to cryptocurrencies. But at my place, I only see it a lot on social media.
On the streets sponsored billboards about cryptocurrencies can even be counted on the fingers.

But this time there was a sponsor in the restaurant with a big banner, but the manager didn't know what they put up with? How could it be like that?
I'm actually curious about the manager, how come he doesn't know what sponsors are installed in the restaurant where she works.

The decision to sponsor a restaurant naturally involves the restaurant owner and the manager himself.
If the restaurant owner decided to put up the sponsorship how could he not explain it to his manager?
I wonder how it goes after the OP teaches about the crypto world and if the restaurant will reconsider accepting bitcoin payments?.

Why would you invite a restaurant owner for Christmas dinner?

Maybe she is a  beautiful woman

Quoting so everyone can see the image.

The best you can do is help her use bitcoin.
You can help her set a wallet for free. Maybe in time you can even receive some money by setting a btc payment method for them.

At this point I will say that you can only help someone setting up a free wallet when the person is interested over cryptocurrency because for someone who is not interested over cryptocurrency when trying to give it a lecture of cryptocurrency by forcing the person it will find it very difficult to understand but when the person have interest over cryptocurrency it will faster the learning and also understand it very faster than the one that does not have interest

Nah, that title was a clickbait since there's no single Bitcoin transaction happening on that restaurant. It's not bad to advertise Bitcoin, however, the owner or that lady doesn't have any knowledge about of what they were advertising. I thought they were just like in any other places where they totally accept Bitcoin as a payment.

As what I've read from the replies above, those people might be in trouble if they continue to trust those unreliable advert or those people trying to lure most people to invest in them. It's a common strategy to recruit a potential investors but fed with wrong information that would end up in a scam scheme.

Cryptocurrency in the past got spread only through the word of mouth. Nowadays different firms trying to make business out of cryptocurrency make different promotions. These promotions give more visibility to cryptocurrency, but the real learning is a must to use it good. Restaurant in Nigeria promoting cryptocurrency without cryptocurrency acceptance is a positive move and the owner of the restaurant getting interested to learn is a great outcome.

Interesting enough that they have decorations of BTC on their restaurant but they do not understand nor accept it as an alternative method. But in all honesty, this kind of movement is definitely worth it for the establishment to gain attraction from its community. Even if they do not accept BTC as payment, the fact still remains that they do recognize and know the existence of BTC, which is definitely more than a thousand of words worth it.

Though that may be the case, inviting someone for dinner is definitely questionable as there are other options that can be exercised (e.g. coffee, lunch, etc.).

This restaurant doesn't accept Bitcoin but it seems to be a good place where you can advertise a big lie. I think you did well to ask if they accepted the payment and you were really great when you invited the manager to dinner to talk about the protocol, when he comes you have to explain to him how important adoption is especially in your country.

It is something very nice to find some type of establishment that can be paid with bitcoin, I have found very few places that have that option, generally in some restaurants in Ecuador you can find that easy payment.

In developed countries it is more common to find them, in the Netherlands I saw that some establishments were very large and that they had bitcoin as many payment options and I thought it was something sensational, and if these countries that are so good at everything support this type of payment it is because things are going very well, and that is beneficial for everyone in the world, because those of us who have some bitcoin will be beneficial.

You are not there to know if what the Op is saying it truth concerning the restaurant that accept Bitcoin for payment so it might be true because right now many people love cryptocurrency and they since they love cryptocurrency then 12 serve their money in Bitcoin so that it will be easier for them to do any other online trading or online transaction with bitcoin so don't dispute the fact that the Opie is lying because nobody knows if it is true or not

I understand you perfectly, but it's also true that it looks more like an advertisement for the platform than an advertisement for bitcoin! among other things, any commercial activity should display at the entrance or at the checkout that they accept payments in bitcoins. let's just say it's quite misleading. in any case, I believe that soon they will be everywhere, restaurants or businesses that accept payments in bitcoin

Merry Christmas and Happy New year

Sad that they are not accepting bitcoin right now, but there are good options for business owners to easily accept bitcoin payment. Do you have more information on the restaurant and where it is located? Also do you know if they will really accept bitcoin in the future?
