Promote BTC to your friends who own businesses... it's a great way to make them accept BTC in their stores...

yeah, that is one of the best way to convince businessman to start using bitcoin, by promoting bitcoin to your friends first. mostly small businesses are the best to start with and easier to convinced...

I think its pretty difficult to do that, because it has a bad name.
The most stores are not convinced by the bitcoin.

I think it will come but it will take several years before it would happen.

By bad name what do you mean?

You're talking about btc reputation? Well true it's not perfectly shiny... You could always try to explain of course, but yeah not sure it'll work out perfectly well ... Embarrassed

Or do you really talk about the name of btc? Like from a marketing perspective? Cause if that's it... Well I totally disagree ^^
Btc marketing is excellent, good name, good image, good spreading ^^

it is little difficult, the first you need to explain and introduce to them what is bitcoin, after that you need to convert bitcoin to fiat every day to state the selling bitcoin price and then does infrastructure for bitcoin payment already available for the store

I think to encourage still need a lot of things to cover and to improve

Thing is, that a lot of people still use normal money and not bitcoins, so i don't think they would accept bitcoins for 5 persons

It would be a little difficult. most of their capital is fiat, but if we educate them about bitcoin, and they are convinced then they're in.. but I think it needs to start from their boss, if the boss is open to bitcoin idea, then its good..  Smiley

Going to the boss and trying to implement the bitcoin in his business. As a part in your region you can start a small business that accepts bitcoins so that when days pass you will be benefited and automatically surrounding business people will adopt it

That is true... we should be the one who should start it in our community..a small burger stand or a mini store could be a good one.  Smiley

True, lokal businesses are interested in the lokal fiat. They don't want to have exchange it and get later lessfiat for the same amount of Btc. Or become scammed during trading and get nohing at all.

the fact is that this guy loved bitcoin from the first transaction, but if you run a local business it's to risky due the volatility and also because in my country few people use bitcoin

That is also the one reason but the most important reason is until government dont take initiative and accepts Bitcoin Technology , the Local or big business peoples cannot accept bitcoin as they cannot show the business through bitcoin in their Income Tax. and if some country are banned for Bitcoin use then it become illegal business also. so where their is clear picture about bitcoin in that country the peoples and business people can take benefit of Bitcoin Technology

I aggree thats a huge block..I think local bussineses are afraid,unaware and skeptical on bitcoin, thats why they dont see bitcoin on their advantage. I think it will be easy for local businesess to accept bitcoin if their will be a huge and consistent consumer of bitcoin and goverment will have the initiative and support bitcoin.

Local business needs to adopt bitcoin. The better method I think is just to implement the bitcoin in small scale logistics industry, as more of various country people get involved in business. In such the transaction can be made faster with less transaction charges.

Well if you have a website then this is a good idea since you can send bitcoin through online but if you have a local store and thinking about bitcoin as a payment then you're crazy **no offence** Wink Wink

start a tv channel about bitcoin and the possibilities are endless, you can start a gaming show where the person  answer questions right, go inside a bitcoin mining factory and explain the ins and outs, make a music video about bitcoins. if you think my idea can grow   it would be grateful to send a tip.

I think it's hard to convince a local business owner to accept bitcoin as payment...bitcoin would always look strange to them.. Probably we can't convince them if their mind is close about accepting this currency..But, if they themselves are collecting bitcoin and investing in it then the chance that they will accept it is big..I think one of the easiest one to convince are those selling computer parts and other electronics, they have access in internet for sure and has an idea what is bitcoin...
