Just Started to Accept Bitcoin in my Espresso Bar

[Alpinat]

Hey guys how you doing, hope y'all well.
I run a Pop-up Coffee Bar inside the Record Store in Camden / London.



Yesterday I announced that I accept Bitcoin for your caffeine fix:

To make most of it I need a good list of Bitcoin Merchant Directories where I can add my business.

I added my business in few of them but I need much more. If you have a y link or any handy list, please share. Have a good one!

This is a piece of great news to bitcoin users. They can now use their bitcoins to buy something good in real life. I am hoping that many store owner will follow you and also accept bitcoin as a mode of payment.

It's great. The more cafes will accept Bitcoin as payment, the better. By the way, how much is a cup of coffee you?

First of all congratulations. I don't know much enterpreneurs who are brave enough to take Bitcoin as a payment method. It's still rather risky anf often connected with some difficulties. I beleive that implementation wasn't that easy but I hope with time this would become usual thing for many businesses. This should be one of examples how to implement cryptocurrencies in real life.

Your making crypto sound like a hassle to accept when it is not.  It is very easy to accept crypto payments for your business, the only real downside is the volatility but that can often work in your favor when the price skyrockets.  Credit cards charge high fees from the seller's pocket so crypto helps negate this.

Nice to see how crypto is becoming a decent partc of the financial system. Of course it not That quick. But we have bars, auto salons, marketplaces based on this. I find it more safe than the fiat money.

You might as well take a look at OpenBazaar and ModulTrade. These are the e-commerce platofrms based on crypto. It's said  you can get daily goods at lower prices and for crypto there. Same goes with automobiles I hear Mercedes can be bought for crypto today.

Yeah and it's not as if he's accepting only crypto for payments. He's giving alternatives for people who would like to use bitcoin or bch. All it takes is a little open mindedness and i know quite a number of businesses who also are doing the same thing.

Thanks, that is interesting.

[Highbuddy]

Awesome man. Got some BTC customers yet?

[finzyoj]

Oh my God! Do you have a branch here in the Philippines? Please make one if there's none, I will be your number 1 customer if ever. Lol, I'm just kidding about having the branch here but I'm serious about beconing your number 1 customer if ever. I do really love coffee on its all form; hot or ice cold, sweet or bitter as long as it is caffeine. I just wish there's a cafe here which also offers btc payments but unfortunately our country is not yet into crypto adoption.

Anyway, good luck and more power to your business. I'm hoping for the success of your business.

[rocku12345]

Nice idea, but how about to add some stable coins like Tether ? Maybe in some ocasions it would be easier to calculate rate of paid coins. Today Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash have high volatility, so maybe not the best time to integrate these currincies as a payment method.

Been about a month plus since OP last posted in here. 200k views is incredible. 30m a year visitors to Camden is incredible. I've been to Camden Town as well so I know the crowd, and if there's really any segment of society liable to use Bitcoin, it's the kind that visits there. So to hear that only 1 guy paid in BTC (and hey, where else but someone from this forum, right?), I think this is yet another sign that Bitcoin's simply not at that level of adoption some people want to believe in.

1% of 30 million is 300k. 0.01% adoption from tourists wealthy enough to visit london and having cash to spend in Camden? 3,000. If even 1 % of that see that coffee that's 30 people.

That's just the way it is. But that's good news for those not yet into Bitcoin!

[ApocalypseNow]

That is a good start lad. But I just don't agree that you also added bitcoincash for additional option. Most people don't have the same acceptance on it so may I suggest that it's better to replace it with Ethereum. And please show us the results of this so if it is positive then it can encourage other more businesses.

People using Bitpay which is the world's most active and most used payment processor all used Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. I mean, if you used Bitcoin then you automatically have Bitcoin Cash (if you had it before the fork),,, so it kind of makes sense to me. I only got Ether like long after I got BTC and I use it just to hodl and not to spend. BTC is still the payment crypto. BCH as well,,, not really ETH.

like the introduction of the blockchain to food production. Also, I saw not only coffee shops but a lot of farms that have implemented blockchain to ensure the transparency of the supply of goods from farm to buyer. And the smaller the number of intermediaries, the faster the product reaches the point of sale. Highly efficient system

There have always been many frauds with products. Then the seller will rearrange the production date in order to sell a non-quality product. That delivery does not work efficiently, the products deteriorate and you have to recycle them. I am glad that ppl decide more n more involve the blockchain so that the buyer could see where the goods were produced n sell them in proper quality. I believe, coffee is only beginning

If the blockchain were also introduced quickly, not only in retail, but also in education, medicine, personnel management system, we would live in a happier society. But not all people understand how blockchain works at all and how they can modernize their projects and make their work more efficient.

I agree with you. Blockchain is the technology of the future. And so that more people understand its importance and need more projects like this. there is a training base, starting from the basic concepts of blockchain and cryptocurrency, ending with advanced courses and tips for traders. Of course, people we are lazy creatures, but when the material is fed in a light form, it is easily perceived. More educated people - the closer we approach the time when blockchain technologies will be embedded in all walks of life. Btw, recently I found very interesting educational platform taklimakan. There are lots of info to learn about crypto , how it's used n how it can be implemented into human life

We must start with the banal financial literacy of the population. And then move on to advanced technologies like the blockchain. But I agree that there are a lot of interesting projects and I hope that countries will continue to better support blockchain startups.

The fact that cryptocurrencies are being introduced into the daily lives of people is very great! Bitcoin will conquer in small steps and more serious markets such as banking, medicine and so on.
