Can you pay for car repairs with Bitcoin? Why not :)

If we are talking about high fee for transaction then but has one of the highest fee because I don't think the bank would be allowed to remove high fee that could be more than $5 from just transaction. Since you have choose to run it with the option of Bitcoin transaction for anyone that is ready to pay for your services through Bitcoin, that's a good move and it makes sense towards the adoption of Bitcoin. This could make more people see a good reason why they ought to invest in cryptocurrency. There are people that are still skeptical about Bitcoin investment and it's not bad when they see service like yours being confidence to invest in Bitcoin

Yes, I have made these posters to capture the attention of my customers, and don't want to coerce anyone into paying with Bitcoin. However, today I felt disheartened. One of my clients inquired about Bitcoin, and while I was explaining it, he asked, "Is this the hamster coin?" Despite Bitcoin being the father of all digital currencies, our community seems to be more acquainted with Hamstercoin.

If I had a lot of bitcoins, I think it would be fine, but I only have a few bitcoins at the moment, so it's not practical in these times in my situation because we are currently in a bull run and also facing OP. Maybe that's okay if we're in a bear market.

But if you have a lot of customers who want to try to pay with Bitcoin, that's in your favor because right now we can say that the price value of bitcoin has dropped a little bit. Don't always sell it; instead, hold it long-term.

I have many customers throughout the day, but most of them prefer traditional banking payment methods. (This is likely due to the fact that the average age of my customers is above 45.) However, I want to share every transaction my customers pay with Bitcoin here and hold it.

After realizing the high bank fees at my PDR repair shop, I decided to add Bitcoin payment as an option. I noticed that my customers were interested in paying with Bitcoin after I put up posters in my shop. Although no transactions have been made yet, many customers ask me about the posters and how to pay with Bitcoin. I'm happy to introduce them to the world of digital currencies.

This is a nice introduction but I don't think I can ever make payments for goods or services to anyone with bitcoins. I am at that stage where I am struggling to accumulate bitcoins so I can get huge returns. In the case of huge transactions fees from traditional banks, bitcoin transactions fees are not lesser either. It is better I pay huge transactions fees with the traditional banks than lose coins I should be investing instead  to get returns. bitcoin is meant to be a means of payment originally but right now, I have seen an opportunity with bitcoins I don't want to lose. Maybe when I accumulate enough bitcoins, I'll start making payments with them.

This is awesome, great work.

As a recommendation could I suggest that you use an updated address, it will cost you less in fees. Also don't write out your address on paper, someone will probably make a typo and coins will be sent to the wrong address, you'll find yourself in a difficult situation. Use a QR code, and I would recommend laminating the paper, and only sharing it with people when they are actually ready to make the transfer. Otherwise you run the risk someone will print out their own QR code and put it over the top, I read an article about this back in the day where someone did the same thing at a coffee shop.

It's been almost a week since you accepted bitcoin for your car repair shop, are any of your customers using bitcoin to pay you? I think it's not just a matter of age, but your area may not have too many people who know and use bitcoin. Or according to some of the comments above, it could also be that many people are not willing to spend their bitcoins these days. People are focusing on accumulating as much bitcoin as possible rather than spending because everyone is looking forward to the upcoming bull season. No one wants to miss out on the opportunity to make more profits from bitcoin.

Yes, I can pay for car repairs with Bitcoin. Some restaurants are accepting Bitcoin payments, and being able to pay for my car repairs with Bitcoin is great.

Although no transactions have been made yet, many customers ask me about the posters and how to pay with Bitcoin. I'm happy to introduce them to the world of digital currencies. In the past,I've shared my knowledge of Bitcoin with my friends, and I'm delighted to have the opportunity to do the same in my PDR shop

I think it's the best decision you've made, of course it's really attractive that you've created a payment system with Bitcoin. This may be the first person in the PDR repair shop that you have created a bitcoin payment system, in my opinion. Of course, I think that if the customers like it, they will pay you with bitcoins in this new system, and I think that the bitcoins that you will get from here, it will definitely be a good high profit from here. Moreover, we know that nowadays banks or various payment systems require a lot of fees, which makes people reluctant to pay in them. But it is possible to make payment in Bitcoin very easily and at low cost, which will attract people here and people will pay in Bitcoin in a new way. Of course now with the digital world digital currencies are becoming more popular and because of your initiative many people will be introduced to this bitcoin, surely this is a happy moment for you.

The main reason is that the majority of the population there does not know how to use bitcoin for payments, so they ignore the bitcoin payment option but time will tell that they will consider using bitcoin for payments because of the lower transaction costs. However, the OP explained that some people are interested in paying using bitcoin with low fees and 5% discounts, I think some customers have switched to paying with bitcoin instead of paying conventional banks with higher transaction fees.

I salute the OP for providing bitcoin payment option services, we will support and appreciate you, I hope you are committed to providing the best solution to your customers for low cost and fast payment options using bitcoin

I think like you, and at the moment, I wouldn't want to use my bitcoins for daily expenses. I think a lot of people feel this way too. As I mentioned earlier, these posters are mostly for promotion, and my goal is to encourage more people to join the world of Bitcoin and digital currencies.

Yes, I'm the first person at the PDR repair shop who accepts Bitcoin for payment. This can also serve as an advertisement for my business. This new payment method will distinguish my store from others and attract new customers. It's a win-win situation for me

Nice idea to implement bitcoin payment into your business,  but the truth is that,not many customers will want to pay for repairs using bitcoin, since bitcoin transactions fees could sometimes exceed that of banks, and if I am to patronise your shop, I will not pay with bitcoin,  and rather pay with fiat currency,  reason is that, in my country,  banks transfers are free and instant,  most especially when using a fin tech wallet.

Exactly what I was thinking because it will be very difficult convincing customers to pay with Bitcoin, though I love the idea but considering the fact that every transfer of Bitcoin normally involved fees so it will actually be difficult for people or rather customers to accept that mode of payment and also another barrier to could also possibly affect that method is that not all the customers would actually know what Bitcoin is all about and there is no way customers will accept a mode of payment they have no idea of because there countries Bitcoin is not generally accepted and perhaps it could be that is only few groups of people that are into it there so making it a mode of payment will actually not work.

It's a good move. By accepting Bitcoin payments and telling others about cryptocurrency, you're not only reducing transaction fees but also contributing to spreading your knowledge about cryptocurrency to others. Your effort is consistent with the original spirit of Bitcoin which aims to decentralize finance and
make privacy more accessible to transactions by integrating Bitcoin payments into your repair shop.

Cryptocurrencies are contributing to the growth of the e-ecosystem. Keep up the good work and make more people aware of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin who knows you may introduce a new wave of cryptocurrencies in your area and that is going to boost the overall adoption of Bitcoin in the long run.

Keep up the good work.

Maybe people in that area don't know about bitcoin or some other reason but I disagree with OP saying that bitcoin transaction fees are lower than bank transaction fees. How much are banking transaction fees in your country? and OP how much is the bank transaction fee where you live, can you provide evidence to say it is higher than bitcoin? I find this absurd because even in my country, bank transaction fees are not higher than bitcoin transaction fees if we only use daily payments.

If it's true that bitcoin transaction fees are lower than banks and everyone is switching to bitcoin, and he even offers a 5% discount when paying with bitcoin instead of fiat. Why aren't any customers using bitcoin to pay at OP's car repair shop?

I will tell you, mate, this is exactly because of that. People above 45 are hesitant to accept something that's new, especially if it relates to money and payment methods. Print out some flyers and distribute them in places where young people usually hang out. They will be going to your place even if they have a similar place closer to them just because they can with Bitcoin at you place. And if will be their first payment with BTC they will remember it for the rest of their lives and will be telling their friends about.

In addition to high transaction fees, many people do not know about bitcoin, these are barriers that make many people not want to use bitcoin to pay when repairing cars at OP's store. I think bitcoin's volatility is also a barrier that makes people not want to use it for payment. If yesterday you bought bitcoin for 70k$ but today it dropped to 67k$, would you want to use bitcoin in this case? Obviously, no one is generous enough to do this because we would have to spend more money compared to using fiat.

OP is doing the right thing because at least he is making bitcoin more popular but convincing people to use bitcoin as a means of payment is still a challenge.
