I found a Bitcoin restaurant in my neighborhood

[Rengga Jati]

Why would you invite a restaurant owner for Christmas dinner?

Maybe she is a  beautiful woman 

I am also curious why he should invite her on a very special day, during dinner. This may be the reason. It will be a romantic dinner

Aside from that, I am quite confused that a restaurant accepts ads of cryptocurrency but they don't know about cryptocurrency. Actually, his plan to teach the manager is good enough, at least that she knows something about cryptocurrency and will tell her boss about it... Because it is quite strange that using the decoration about crypto but don't even accept crypto. I think why the franchise that set the banner there doesn't even explain the restaurant about cryptocurrency and teach them so that the ads will be implemented at first in the restaurant.

I am more interested to know whether things are doing well with the business itself with regards to the market price of Bitcoin. Many businesses have made the same thing but also, many of those establishements eventually did not sustain the market behavior in this industry which forced to do so, I guess. It would seem like themoney circulating on a business would be instant turned into another investment. If we are on the bullish market ofcourse it would be full of advantages but since we're not, I guess that is where problems might occur in terms of general sustainability of the business. If owners would be pushed not to spend the payments (in crypto) because of low market price, then isn't it a bad idea to do so especually at the present. We would amire the initiative to do so but not all businesses are just ain't ready for this industry yet when it comes on a 100% adoption.

I think the price of BTC can greatly influence on how the demand/traffic of BTC on that business goes. In times like this where BTC value is dumping, I think some people don't care about their BTC, in a way that they spend it often but if its the opposite or when the value of BTC is pumping hard then I think many people will value it more and limit their purchase using their BTCs. Yet this won't affect the business as a whole, as long as that business still accepts other forms of payment methods.

If there is a business relating to crypto who are badly affected right now then that would be the crypto exchange because there will be less people who are making a transaction right now.

Anyhow this Christmas is going to be a special one for the Hotel owner as she's gonna learn something new. In specific knowing and learning about bitcoin is really important for the fast moving world that is much connected to the technology. It is good that more advertisements were giving visibility to the existence of bitcoin even in the rural areas of the country.

Yes, if we look on the positive side, OP is spreading bitcoins to everyone, and this time a restaurant owner. And if after she's been taught about bitcoin and really loves it, it's inevitable that her restaurant will accept bitcoin. They don't accept bitcoin yet because they don't know about it yet not they ban and that should be easier to change.

[drwhobox]

It is a bit weird to decorate everything with Bitcoin vibes but not accept Bitcoin as payment and not train the staff to at least know what Bitcoin payments are.
Inviting a person for Christmas dinner is nice, I think the traditions of who you invite can differ a lot within different cultures, and I think it was a nice gesture on the part of the op. It didn't strike me as weird, and I'm not surprised by op's answer to it. To be honest, I don't get why many in the thread seem so worked-up about a simple act of hospitality.
I hope the op will return and let us know if there was a continuation of this story (did the owner come to the dinner, did you visit their place again to discuss Bitcoin, etc.).

I am disappointed that OP didn't take his time to educate the restaurant manager, as they are advertising something about cryptocurrency and don't know about bitcoin. I would like to hear how the dinner and bitcoin class goes from OP on another topic or expect a brief reply here.
Happy holidays to OP, and good luck with bitcoin preaching.

I am very happy to see that this is also a way to promote Bitcoin which is one of the safest cryptocurrencies we have on the market. Advocating about Bitcoin should be our paramount so that those who did not have complete idea about Bitcoin can know what is all about and how the network works.
This is one of the thing I love seeing and we should keep telling people about Bitcoin so that more people will come and adopt the use of Bitcoin in businesses to boost the network. If we continue advocating about Bitcoin in different pattern, this rate at which people join the network will be massive.

You do not need to be surprised, it is all business deal, besides it isn't the owner who is dumbfounded but the service staff.  Service staff has no say about the deals of the owner and is not a big deal if they don't know about the story behind the wall decor/ads as long as they do their assigned task and serve well.

Actually, his plan to teach the manager is good enough, at least that she knows something about cryptocurrency and will tell her boss about it... Because it is quite strange that using the decoration about crypto but don't even accept crypto.

I don't find it strange, they don't have a sign Bitcoin accepted here, did you see any?  If they do have sign and the establishment does not accept Bitcoin or worst doesn't know it, then that is what we can call strange.

I think why the franchise that set the banner there doesn't even explain the restaurant about cryptocurrency and teach them so that the ads will be implemented at first in the restaurant.

It is possible that they are into negotiation, who knows, since the ads company is a cryptocurrency wallet company (stated on the earlier reply) I believe they approached the establishment and offers their service.

I am not surprised seeing as restaurant liter its walls with bitcoin ads but do not accept bitcoin payment, i like the fact that the restaurant manager was sincere, from what i am seeing in the pic shared by the op, those ads are indeed paid for by the company that owns that brand, Op should have seen and known this, the ad banners are owned by a crypto currency business that bought the walls of that restaurant to advertise their business to the customers going in and out of that building.

I've come in contact with vehicle and tricycle owners who have bitcoin ad banners placed in every corner of their vehicle but still, know nothing about bitcoin or cryptocurrency.

Same here, OP didn’t say he say a “bitcoin accepted here” sign on the door, he only mentioned crypto ads on the walls. We are watching and expecting a continuation to this thread about how dinner ended. I hope it had a happy ending lol  it will be better if OP completes his story on this thread instead of creating a new one explaining the whole dinner/class.

It seems that there are many advertisements for Bitcoin, but few people know how to use it. I don't know what the purpose of the advertisement side is, but it is always positive. The purpose is to let everyone get used to the existence of Bitcoin as much as possible, get used to accepting Bitcoin, and finally use it together.

[landheer]

on the wall of the restaurant there is a sticker with a picture of bitcoin, that's good. because it's rare for a restaurant to have a bitcoin sticker or banner on its wall. which certainly looks very unique and good. With bitcoin stickers and banners in a restaurant, it means that people are starting to get to know bitcoin a lot. If you invite that person over for dinner and are taught about bitcoin by you that is a great thing.

[wilkine]

Perhaps the value of bitcoin has not been advertised in full, and some people only know the surface of it

[xSkylarx]

Christmas has already passed. What happened to the dinner? It went well? Did you really teach her how to use Bitcoin? I think the stickers and decorations about bitcoin on the walls are from the local exchange or wallet since they are getting paid to put it there as an advertisement, but I am very shocked that they don't know how to transact it. Didn't they get curious about it? Will they try using it? I think they just really want to get paid for the advertisement and don't care what it is.

[yazher]

Oh wow, people love to have high expectations and easy to make a conclusion according to their wishes. Like what happens in this restaurant that only advertises crypto wallets, but the OP says Bitcoin restaurant. Perhaps the OP is very enthusiastic about Bitcoin or just wants to make a clickbait. I don't know. Because the ads look like they have been there for a long time, and the restaurant is in the OP neighborhood.

In some places, things like this are rare to occur and this might be a step forward for some bitcoin enthusiasts there but just a normal occurrence in our place. Despite it being just a mere exchange advertisement, it is probably their way to make bitcoins known in their place with the help of this advertisement. I think it is also the same case when we were in our early stage of having bitcoins in our country, our local exchanges advertise a lot and that became one of the sources of promoting bitcoins in our country until it became widely known and until our payment apps adopt the crypto payment as well in their apps.

[TommieSang]

To be honest, I'm not excited to see things like bitcoin being used for payments right now. Compared with before, more and more friends know about Bitcoin, but nothing seems to have changed. Like someone who knows diamonds and gold.

[Frankolala]

You have started a task and the goal must be achieved, which is spreading in awareness of bitcoin for quick adoption, you should follow her up in other for her to have the knowledge of bitcoin properly. Since the restaurant is benefiting of the ponzi scheme of that company,if the manager understands bitcoin and see the benefit, I believe she might convince the owner of the restaurant to start accepting bitcoin payment.

The manager can still pass the knowledge of bitcoin on the workers if the restaurant,for easy understanding in terms of relating it with customers who in the nearest future might want to pay in bitcoin. OP keep it up but don't get carried away with her beauty .

[worle1bm]

The Nigeria has been always good suppoter of bitcoin with so many users into it which is good to see but you should teach the lady all the basics about btc and how it operates so if she wants it can be implemented as payment mode also in the restaurant by her as many like you will be willing to pay in it.

Although if she agrees you can also have a small demo class for the workers to explain it about how they can use it in the future and setup their wallet or use third party softwares for accepting these payments.But I am happy that you want to spread awareness about btc and your community has tight bond with each other.Merry Christmas to you man.

[macson]

Why would you invite a restaurant owner for Christmas dinner?

I get this may be strange to you understanding there is a cultural difference between us, my community is tightly knit. Everybody knows everybody or someone related to your family, that's one of the beauty of coming home for the holidays. It's Christmas and I wanted to be nice. I will be here after the 25th so you're not worried I was stabbed to death by a stranger.

glad to hear that your community is tightly knit and i'm sure the idea of the restaurant owner comes from a concept sparked by your community.  but does your government not ban it ^{(bitcoin advertised easily)}, from what i heard, several countries on the African continent have governments that strictly prohibit bitcoin and crypto ecosystems in their countries.  i hope your community grows bigger and your brotherhood to each other gets closer.

Next you have to be very mindful on how you discusses about bitcoin or asked question whether they accepts or not more especially in the village, you know people in the village always thinks that anyone who deals on bitcoin is madly Rich and Wealthy otherwise you could get kidnapped. It all depends on the area you found yourself if is that secure for you to discuss bitcoin related talks. For about the manager, i would have suggested you just have her contact maybe whenever she's less busy or during Sunday's you could equally visit her to explain more things to her and how it works.

Dealing with Bitcoin is not a big deal compared to the hype people who purchased bitcoin are receiving by the uninformed individuals. Discussing about Bitcoin openly is not advisable because the level of fraudulent activities these days is increasing rapidly in numbers and these fraudsters might target one as their prey. I'm a passive trader in the market and I understand what it feels like to lose crypto assets. Always been discreet would help alot of people from the poor state they are and place them weigh higher than their position.

It's Christmas and I'm back in my hometown to spend the holidays with my family and friends. Today we decided to have lunch at a local restaurant. I was shocked to see the interior walls of the restaurant decorated with Bitcoin stickers, banners and bitcoin wallet ads. I didn't expect to find this in a small town, I was excited to show my friends how practical Bitcoin is. We placed our orders and when the bill came I asked if I could pay in bitcoin. The waiter stared at me with a blank face as if nothing I said made sense. Clearly this guys do not accept Bitcoin payment. I was furious...no disappointed...I quietly asked to see his manager, the lady came to see what the problem. I asked her why they wouldn't accept Bitcoin payments but have the walls decorated with bitcoin stickers, banners and crypto wallet  ads. She explained they have some sort of franchise deal and get paid for keeping the ads on the wall but they don't really know how Bitcoin works or how it can positively impact their business. I could sense she wanted to learn what I knew, but it wasn't the time and place for a Bitcoin lecture. Instead, I invited her for Christmas dinner and promised to teach her Bitcoin.
Merry Christmas everyone

For the ad banner I was not so surprised.
Currently there are many sponsors related to cryptocurrencies. But at my place, I only see it a lot on social media.
On the streets sponsored billboards about cryptocurrencies can even be counted on the fingers.

But this time there was a sponsor in the restaurant with a big banner, but the manager didn't know what they put up with? How could it be like that?
I'm actually curious about the manager, how come he doesn't know what sponsors are installed in the restaurant where she works.

The decision to sponsor a restaurant naturally involves the restaurant owner and the manager himself.
If the restaurant owner decided to put up the sponsorship how could he not explain it to his manager?
I wonder how it goes after the OP teaches about the crypto world and if the restaurant will reconsider accepting bitcoin payments?.
