"Can I pay in Bitcoin here?" - go and ask this each time you pay something!

[BlackFor3st]

Me and my friends go over to asking the staff every time we have to pay a bill somewhere at the checkout if we can pay with Bitcoin. Of course the answer is always no. We are much more concerned with raising awareness among the general public about cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin in particular. Because we often see that shortly after this question, employees tell their colleagues about this presence, and they will almost certainly do so at home.  A single question can reach dozens of people and Bitcoin is becoming more aware.

So: go out and invest those few seconds during each payment process to push the Bitcoin!

It is not a wide marketing idea but it is very great if many of us will do this kind of stuff so those entities who don't know about crypto currencies especially the bitcoin payment will become curious about it and it will surely help the bitcoin existence to spread faster.

In my country, I haven't tried this kind of stuff as I am afraid that someone will laugh at me if I am going to ask this kind of question even if I know already that there are at least 1% out of 100% establishments in our country that accepts bitcoin. But I will make sure to try this kind of stuff so I can also spread the bitcoin existence by asking this simple question every time I will pay something.

Hey guys,

I am very happy that the idea is so well received and imitated here. Please keep up the good work, because creating awareness is an essential key to the success of Bitcoin!

My latest idea is: While jogging, wear a large Bitcoin logo on the front and back of the shirt. Thus everyone you meet is confronted with the topic and think about (or at least perceives it subconsciously). I had one longshirt made especially for this:



SO GO GO GO AND SPREAD THE MESSAGE TOO!!!

cool long sleeve mate this gives me idea of also having one,i have a favorite longshirt that might be printed with this Bitcoin Logo.

i'll be going to printing shop tomorrow and will ask this design,also other v-neck of mine that will be printed with this.

Check out in front of store when you make transaction, they always show for costumer about which one support payment method, why have ask with using bitcoin as payment transaction because they not show us accepted bitcoin, you only looking with some store accept bitcoin as payment transaction like in KFC.

It is very good to always ask whenever you are buying something to ask that they are accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment in order for them to raise their awareness that there are also some people who wants to have a payment option of bitcoin and also those restaurants or bills that are giving a suggestion papers, you can put them to add a payment option of cryptocurrency for them to know that there are people who want to make a transaction using cryptocurrency.

.. And that is why we have to spread awareness e.g. by ask for bitcoin payment in shops or restaurants and by wearing clothings with the bitcoin logo.
+ routinely social media sharings of course! E.g. Bitcoin news articles from mainstreammedia or blogs. Or just your personal opinion (e.g. talk about our flawed inflationary fiat money system and show how bitcoin make you safe against that)

Here you can download the bitcoin logo as vector graphic for free to get it print on clothings:

Moreover I recommend this very attractive bitcoin pullover:

How are your experiences with wearing bitcoin shirts or asking for bitcoin as payment option in offline stores?

 And which other ways of creating awareness do exist?

That's one way of spreading the news about Bitcoin. Also, there are many other ways we can promote this technology to the entire world through our respective social medias. This tools has been known for it effectiveness, having those who can spread this through their social medias Handles will go a long way to bring adoption to the system. But what we see today is, nobody want to take responsibility of carryout this task without payment. This has made the community retarded for sometimes and we need to further our movement from here to the entire world.

Well, I'm afraid that merchants would look at me like I was crazy. There are very little physical stores in my country that accept Bitcoin as a payment and in my hometown there isn't any.
I agree Bitcoin needs promotion and sone kind of push for merchants to.accept Bitcoin as a payment method. However, I don't think that your proposal is the apropriate method because the main reason why merchants don't accept Bitcoin is volatility, too big risk and lack of regulation.
Merchants have themselves and their profit at the first place, not the wishes of customers.

The point is not to pay with bitcoin at all but to create awareness in a situation which is perfect for set somebody thinking about this topic!
