How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC?

[Sex Video Chat VKcams.com]

if the environment around you is quite of old mentality

Payments are made not with mentality. Who have no BTC, they goes to use money from income.

You should explain them the benefits of accepting Bitcoins as payment. Your transactions cannot be traced by government and so your income will be tax free.Payments once you got through bitcoin  cannot be replaced to customers.You should explain these benefits. Rather you could show them video documentaries about bitcoin to make them understand easily.

First of all, all the transactions can be traced since anyone can see the blockchain and see every single transaction ever made, second any income can be taxed even if the tax for something is zero it should be declared to avoid problems, for most business owners if you said something like that they will run away from bitcoin and never come back.

Its indeed very hard to let people believe in the bitcoin

Open yourself a shop, and show, how it work, positively.

It is actually not so easy to make a shop and accept bitcoins for it as a payment... because maybe people around you are still not aware of it and making them know about it would take some time... first someone should try to do some survey in the town to know the interests of different kind of people and if you really find it in their interests then go for it...

But if he provide all of those products which are all imported and all of them are unique and amazing for the community around him then people will like to buy that things and for that they will learn about bitcoin and will start to buy things from him with bitcoin.

For a local business, you will find 1 from 100.000 costumers that will pay in bitcoin.

Online things can be more easy but local is almost impossible.

First tr to promote the concept of bitcoin in your local area to everyone and make sure that now they will adopt bitcoin easily without any hurdle so when you will then start a local business and people will start using your service then other local businesses will also use bitcoin for themselves.

It is not going to be an easy job to promote the concept of bitcoin especially in your local town. Because most of the people there doesn't even know what bitcoin is, if there are maybe not even going to reach 1% of the total population to your local town. Hmm, but maybe if you will conduct some seminars for the business owners and tries to educate them with bitcoin without something you are asking for them in return, then maybe they will encouraged to use and adopt bitcoin.

It will take a lot of time and aggressive advertising and crowdsale to get that 1% to at least 30% of population who accept and use bitcoin. In countries where people have never heard of bitcoin, it is extremely difficult to make them understand and accept the integrity and security of the coin let alone try transacting on it.

I dont think any company or team will be willing to invest in such an advertisement because they may not just ROI that amount and end up as laughing stock on the stage with people screaming "scam/ponzi" at them.

I agree and the best thing to do with this seminars or conference is during an events or fares where business people gathers and looking for somethig new, either a technology or designs.  This way you can advertise about bitcoin and at the same time invite them to your seminar.  Just be creative when you do your flyers because it is where you can attract this business people in taking attention to your plan.

Though it is not impossible but we can surely call it hard to promote bitcoin in our local areas because the people around us have never heard of something like this where your money is kept on internet and you just can use them by internet but not like using paper money, so it would probably be quite hard to get customers for this at first.

Where I live for an example, very few people heared about Bitcoins. But they aren't interested on it anyway, they will say it's a hard method to earn money, or that it's a fraudulent method to earn, bla bla bla... So, I just go by myself and don't lose much time with others. Some people are living on old days yet, they don't want to see the real benefits the internet is promoting to us with BTCs.

I agree its the new way to gain profit and make your company very popular these days, I really think its a hole in the market this days.

There is a need to conduct discussion or rather conduct a
live seminar just to introduce bitcoin to local businesses.
How it well works and how it will process in businesses.
Because some other people doesnt know yet bitcoin.
Also we need atleast more participants to attend the seminar
that introduces bitcoin.

That is what I'm doing here in my place also those people I think that might get interested to have partnership with my school supplies business and getting paid with bitcoins online is being laugh by them. But well, if you already taste the profit in bitcoin even they are laughing. In the end, you are the one that will laugh at them.

ahhha, all things considered would not be done in the bitcoin is something very ridiculous. Because it was very clear that bitcoin is going to be a revolution in the transaction in the future, so if there are people who can not accept bitcoin or considers paltry bitcoin then in the future we will laugh at them as you say

they are usually laughing at you because they really don't have any knowledge about bitcoin and does not want to know about it . they find it ridiculous and thinking about how can you make a profit if you are just being paid with an unknown currency for them . but maybe if you get succeed with bitcoin you can encourage other businesses to accept bitcoin because as they will see it and learned from you .

[coynedterm]

I am looking to help move BTC forward into our economy more and would like to get some suggestions on how we can get more retailers to accept BTC as a payment.  The best part about accepting BTC is that they do not have any threat of charge-back from the customer.  I am just looking for some more input before I start approaching some of these local retailers.

It is possible to accept btc as an payment if the simple shopkeeper understand about the bitcoin beauty .
first of all we need to explain them about the ease to use Bitcoin and the benefit of having btc .
this type of conversation will make local shops to accept bitcoin as an payment .

Its not their fault actually, they have never changed their way of life until now so it would probably be hard for them to accept a change in their way of living which is accepting or using bitcoins, that is the reason why it is hard to convince a community or an environment about bitcoin and promote a business regarding bitcoin infront of them.

It will take much long for bitcoin to make a certain impact on people's lives and then you may expect people to accept it more. However I think people are very cautious about their money and dont really trust the coin much due to previous attempts of ponzi scams, scam cloud-mining sites and other illegal stuff. It is difficult since the first impression has been bad and will take some time and effort to overcome.

I guess it hard to put BTC to the real economy in each country, there are many process you need to come up before you achieve that goal. If I am not mistaken you, first thing you must do is to introduce the BITCOIN to the public, what are the advantages of having it in their part, what is best thing of having that compare to the fiat currencies. How can they have it.
You have to open their mind in the current status of it, how the value increases and decreases.
As other say also make some remarkable about bitcoin and make it more attractive for them to be persuade if you pursue it.
One more thing, maybe it depends on the country you belong to, there are countries that only few knew about bitcoin but there are also country who is open to use bitcoin in their business and many are using it.

Where the owner of the local business will spend their bitcoin? He can't pay their bills with bitcoin

So they will have to pay taxes to an exchange so at the end of history, isn't a big deal accepting bitcoin if you can't hold or spend somewhere(like bills).

Spending them wont be a problem if they can earn them, they can simply exchange them to fiat later on if they want, that wont cost him too much and besides, the price of bitcoin may grow higher so they might even earn some extra money out of it, but the question is whether will they be able to get bitcoin customers or not.

That's something the right thing. But what all business owners who accept bitcoin will always wait the price first new high bitcoin playing cashflow in its business..?? . There comes a time employers have to find profit enough to rotate the shops they have and there is definitely a time customers will be given the advantage of loyalty to use or buy any thing that is in the store
