Is it a good time to start accepting BTC?

[Dunamisx]

In addition, with following continues price drop, Bitcoin does not look like a very reliable payment option for some people. The fear of loosing payment power scares people from acceptance.

if you could remember as well that when bitcoin was at it all time high of $68k many people still don't find the interest to invest but rather assume its a sort of scheme that can't be phantom at, the whole ideas lies in the personal interest and approach each individual give to it and how government as well make the claim on it as an investment asset and currency, even though bitcoin cannot be altered by government or private bodies but their impact could as well encourage the public towards mass adoption, as at now, the youths have decided to accept bitcoin as their major currency not minding what the government said because they have found an answer to their economic challenges in bitcoin which government couldn't, everyone is liable to accept and make payment in bitcoin and is legal.

Hello all,

I have been following Bitcoin prices for some time, and now I'm doubtful if it is a good time to start accepting it as it has changed so much in the past months. Those who accept Bitcoin - is it worth it? And do you accept Bitcoin straight to your wallet, or do you use third-party services?

Thanks in advance!

Bitcoin is now 31k$ at price so there is no harm on trying to accept it because it is low price this time it is low risk than any other coins in crypto and i think we can surely earn if btc market back to bullish again. Accept bitcoin today before its too late, bitcoin change everytime and so unexpected very surprising and exciting specially during to bear market so i suggest to buy and hold for now and wait for bullish market and enjoy your earning soon.

If your business could survive the volatility (If in case you're hodling them), then I can say 100% you're good in accepting Bitcoin.
If you accept Bitcoin and then convert it to fiat immediately to avoid volatility and you're only doing this for you and your customer to experience transacting using crypto or Bitcoin, then it's also a good initiative.

Nevertheless, there might be like few people whos willing to pay their precious Bitcoin for a product, goods, or services. So, I think it's always a good choice in accepting Bitcoin especially that we are in a bearish season today.

You could do so because it will help the other people in your city recognize bitcoins as legit money because nowadays scammers and fraudsters abuse them by using them as a tool for their Ponzi schemes. You can also direct them to the topic here in case they have questions about bitcoin. You on the other hand are freeing bitcoin from those malicious activities. this might be a small thing but you can always start like this and then go big later as long as you know what you are doing.

I think this is enough information for them to know its basics.

$31k is quiet low compare seeing the price last year on bitcoin so maybe we can still say that its safe for starting up merchant to accept this because they might see more better result once bitcoin recover backs or hit more huge figures in future. Also this will be beneficial for merchant to accept this because curiosity will start to build up and they might be drag to the hype of bitcoins once its fame spread to their neighborhood also in global markets.

It depends on the source you receiving the coins from.
If you are receiving your Bitcoins from someone trusted, then accept it directly, no need of use of mixer.
Regarding accepting Bitcoins , yes I accept Bitcoins, no matter what’s the price is.
I have known the capacity of Bitcoins, as it is limited in supply. So gradually today or after 1 year the price will increase.
Moreover Bitcoins have already shown it’s true potential when from suddenly rising from 10k usd to 70k usd.
So yes there is no perfect time to accept Bitcoins. Whenever possible buy or mine them.

I don’t have a business where I accept (or don’t accept) bitcoin but I think now is no different than any other time. Bitcoin has always has a level of volatility that I don’t think now is really any difference than any other time. Bitcoin could just as easily go up right now as it could go down.

Volatility is its nature so expect that there will always be volatility regardless of the current value of bitcoin. And asking if this could be a good time to accept bitcoin, it depends on how your perceive it. But if you are thinking for future profitability, accepting bitcoin and owning it is always a wise move for a smart investor. Its price may currently be very low this time but knowing bitcoin's value appreciates, so its good to own and hodl it for some time before you start thinking of selling it.

Accepting bitcoin at this time is very appropriate for those who want to store bitcoin in the long term because, almost everyone knows the price of bitcoin will rise again and only some people are willing to accept bitcoin when the price is high.

Then it turns that Bitcoin is just a good long term investment asset. What is the point of world acceptance, if everyone just aim to buy, hold and get rich? Why wish an acceptance, when no one can stop you from downloading Electrum and buying some Bitcoin? What about everyday usage then? Everyone still connect Bitcoin to USD. Everyone wants to buy, hold until price goes extremely high, sell to fiat and spend it. That is the problem. Only few want to convert fiat to BTC and use it in everyday expenses.

I do agree that making a good name for bitcoin is one of the best things you could do for bitcoin. After hearing about bitcoin in so much bad light, if you offered bitcoin as a payment option in a good shop for example, that would be something that will matter and I believe it will mean something and worth something.

That is why I believe that we should be focusing a bit more towards adoption in "cute" places. Like imagine small bakery that is famous for their cupcakes, that is a cute thing right? And imagine a bitcoin accepted here sign up at the front of such a cute place, that would help bitcoin if you ask me, definitely would help people out.

Right. To improve adoption, in my opinion, we need more people using Bitcoin everyday, using it as a currency, not as an investment. We need to have more merchants accept it, we need to have more banks start to accept it, and more ATM’s and point of sale machines to accept it. The fact that on the most basic level Bitcoin is used as an investment is one of the main reasons people do not use it everyday. I believe that if BTC takes a role in everyday expenses, the adoption will explode.

By the way, what do you think - maybe now is the time to start working with bitcoin? It seems like a pretty good deal, the price is not bad.

From what we know from Bitcoin history, BTC always surpasses it's previous ATH. So, today it's a good time for accepting Bitcoin, but under one condition: you must be good with holding your BTC for the next couple of years, or maybe even 3-4 years. Yes I'm positive that another ATH will be achieved, but it can take some time.

Don't get me wrong, I personally think that a new ATH can happen with high probability this very year, but we should be prepared for the worst, you know.

It's always a good time to start accepting bitcoin because its price will eventually rise up in time and we will witness a new ATH that will bring a lot of profits for us. Otherwise, we will miss another chance again if we continue to be skeptical on buying bitcoin because of its endless risks. However, its always your personal choice at the end of the day since you are the one responsible for your finances but majority of us here always believe that there's no late from accepting bitcoin.

Bitcoin can be accepted at anytime, just that one have to make some decisions on what to do about it. Bitcoin can be Hodl for sometime or it can be swapped to a stable coin or selling it to get a fiat. Bitcoin can be accepted at all times,  their is no particular to accept bitcoin. Bitcoin is a coin for all season,  it is important for one to understand how to go about it.

You have to make it clear to yourself before you decide. If you believe that bitcoin will reach its new ATH and will be very profitable in the near future, so its certainly worth accepting for and hodl it in your wallet. But if you think that bitcoin is just a waste of time and that there are a lot of established altcoins that are more useful than bitcoin, then you don't have to accept bitcoin and store it in your wallet. I guess its only a matter of wise decision-making, but not all is capable of that.

The biggest problem with accepting BTC is, from my own subjective perspective, the fact that people cannot lose their Fiat mindset of having a piece of paper with a number which does not change, physically. They just look at their dollar and see a dollar. They do not see a reason to look at a chart of USD/EUR every 15 minutes. Because it is stable to them even though it is slowly losing value everytime the government decides that it needs something.

Bitcoin on the other hand is currently more of an investment into the future which is why the value of BTC is always so wild.

That's very interesting, isn't it? For most people, 'the dollar is stable', since 1USD = 1USD, just like they deem something like Tether a 'stablecoin', since it's always worth $1 USD. However, it's constantly losing purchasing power; sometimes less, sometimes more. But that doesn't sound very stable to me. At the same time, '1BTC = 1BTC' is seen like more of a meme or generally not very serious at all, but it's actually exactly the same like defining the dollar stable, because $1=$1. Applying the same definition to Bitcoin, would mean Bitcoin doesn't and never lost any value and that it's fully and absolutely stable, since BTC1=BTC1.

If I owned a business I would absolutely accept Bitcoin regardless of what service, product or industry I was operating in. I’m a huge proponent of cryptocurrencies and the blockchain and I believe BTC is an excellent method to exchange value.

Even more than just accepting cryptocurrencies I would use the Blockchain to help with some of my processes. For example, if I sourced any raw materials to make a certain product, it could be very beneficial to use the Blockchain as a transparent ledger for accountability.

What if your business is about agriculture and hardware? Are you sure you would still accept bitcoins? Because your customers are mostly adults or old people that don't have an idea or let say they have some idea but they still prefer to use fiats. That is why it is important to accept btc depending on our business, it is best to accept btc if your business is about computers and gadgets because your customers are mostly young and middle age people that are definitely in to btc and cryptocurrencies.

By using bitcoin you are already using blockchain there but if you want to take it to the next level and use blockchain the literal way then that can also be a good idea.

[cheezcarls]

It’s never early or too late about adopting and accepting Bitcoin. Let’s not focus primarily on the price movement of it but rather its real world use case such as alternative payment for various transactions, especially the guy here in this forum who have paid the doctor with Bitcoin for birth fees (luckily the doctor is a Bitcoin advocate).

As Bitcoin evangelists, our goal remains the same as we are here to become advocates of this cryptocurrency. By any means necessary even if its a slow progress, we still keep spreading the word about Bitcoin for individuals, companies, etc., to accept, embrace and adopt it.

Bitcoin is true and btc earnings is real as well. Knowing bitcoin is all worth it even if i encountered lot of losses but I also gain as well. Bitcoin investment is good if you hold it and invest it in a good timing.
