How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC?

[pinkflower]

This thread has gone full retard with posts and ideas being repeated over and over. Lets all face it ladies and gentlemen, convincing local businesses to accept BTC in a massive scale that would matter is a lost cause. Convincing illegal online businesses to accept BTC on the other hand, is a different story.

i don't think that we can help them, they have to decide on their own

Yes you are right but we can help them by explaining them what are the uses of bitcoins there are many local businesses dont know about bitcoins so we can help them by our suggestions it's up to them if they are really convinced for your suggestions.

Absolutely right we really can help them actually through our explainations but its really hard to teach them if no proof at all right? So to begin explaining them the btc reality we must have our visual aids like presentation of bitcoin history and until at present days btc influences a lot of people who are brilliant with their visions. We must have records of activities we did online and include it in our presentation files to be having complete, brief and trusted information and of course the sincerety of what you will be explaining to those local businesses owners.

Those visual and other stuffs will really help you out on convincing but besides on bringing those tools its better to show them off a full and precise explanation of bitcoin through video because its somehow effective on explaining on precise way and bring some little examples to demonstrate to him on its usage then he might got interested on that but still depends on the knowledge of business owner into digital stuffs.

If the bitcoin price rises to $5000, most people in the world will know about Bitcoin. Attention chases money.

Yes we can, we can encourage them. We can explain them what are the benefits, like those related to taxes or that they will maybe easier find bitcoin investors then fiat investors or that with using bitcoins they could be more competitive. There are risks too, ofw course, but it's worth trying.

Businesses owners prefer to stay out of trouble, if you begin to say to them they can avoid taxes with bitcoin they are going to avoid bitcoin even more since they prefer to pay their taxes than to risk their investment in their business.

This is not exactly true, in a more wider scale. I think its the spreading and the innate acceptance which draws people to bitcoin along with the advantages it gives. Its not always about money/price of bitcoin and rarely "acceptance" is due to `attention chasing money`.

If people believe that bitcoin can be a better alternative to fiat and that the advantages of bitcoin can overcome the disadvantages of fiat only then they will accept it and else not.

You cannot lure people with money into accepting something - you will be accused as a scammer if the project failed in the long run.

If they know it and see the advantages of the bitcoin you already do not need them to convince them anymore.

my aim is just let people hear "bitcoin". maybe they are curious about that and looking for "bitcoin".

Its more like the business owners dont need to accept BTC. Accepting fiat and credit cards works fine and smoothly for them so why is there a need add BTC. How will that be an advantage to them? All the Bitcoiners in this thread doesnt even spend that much in BTC anyway.

to accept credit cards they have to rent equipment, pay higher fee rates and most importantly, have to wait for the payment processor to credit their account, since payments don't go directly from the customer to the owner's bank account.

Thats not a problem. They pass the payment of these fees to the customers. Ever wonder why the stores give you a discount whenever you pay them in cash? Its not really a discount. Its the real price. You pay more when you use your credit card because it is you who pay for the fees themselves.

Not all of the local businesses know about Bitcoin and for encouraging it in our local businesses we have to take the start. If you start a local shop in your area with discount and attract the buyers to you then people will come to you and other store owners will also start to accept bitcoin.

Do You starting some business?

I think it is hard to attract them if they know the benefits of bitcoin and how to use it maybe they can accept it as payment method but it is depends what is their business or product they are offering..  if bitcoin will fit for their business maybe they can attract more people to use it with special offers or discounts,.

People often like to go to those shops which provide discounts to its clients.

According to my experience with bitcoin I think every business best fit the use of bitcoin as its payment system for their clients. If a person start a shop with bitcoin and will provide discount and along with that if the shopkeeper will provide unique products then people will adopt bitcoin.

With that at least the people around you and other shops will know about bitcoin and as everyone here know that bitcoin is more convenient currency so after knowing about it anyone like to adopt it.

The problem is not all people know about bitcoins, even in my area only 1-2 people know about bitcoin. Before we encourage local businesses to use bitcoin, we need to introduce them first about what and how is bitcoin works. I'm sure they will start using bitcoin if the buyer want using bitcoin as the payment.

How do You immagine the process?
Someone will exchange local money to BTC and spend them on goods at the shop?

I dont know what he meant by that but i would like to ask if that thing would succesfuly work by just someone tend to pay bitcoin for the goods he bought and we all know that not all business owners would easily accept it specially if they dont have enough knowledge or idea on such thing like bitcoin.
Encouraging would really be hard.
