As stated in the poll question..also if you answered "yes", I'd encourage you give an example(s) of a business(es) that you've successfully dealt with. I'm just curious to see if people really are doing this kinda stuff or not. I personally haven't gotten around to it, as I feel a bit apprehensive. Also, if this has been asked before then you can point me to the topic  |

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

I heard there is a district in Berlin where many shops accept Bitcoin. Does anybody have any more details about that?

Who is going to take the time to explain bitcoin just to be able to pay in it when they are probably the only customer who ever will.

Fair point, and I have figured the same thing when deciding against proposing Bitcoin in this manner, but I'd still like to at least get the word out, as I'm sure plenty of people in this community would like to do. Also, I was pretty curious as to whether people were at least thinking things along these lines |

People who are interested in spreading awareness about the currency. |

I don't see B&Ms as the best use for Bitcoin. There's a scalability problem. The network is nowhere near powerful enough to facilitate the number of transactions it would take to, say, service all Starbucks customers. Obviously, fees can be tacked on to move priority transactions along faster. But I still think the network is better suited to larger transactions, like buying a toaster online, or breezily sending a guy in Vegas 100BTC to make a bet, etc...
